ILION WATIII AT LONDON uwanovi. TuTlii•sloi • - 7 - 47•Zism — iiiigaiii:ilm•.••• • T. 'Lwow —Mersiscil Oa. I; Mllassis. DI Ws. gest • LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 2. Au. hopes of a constitution for Germany are, we regret to hear, likely to be marred. It is no tor ger the wily suit amen of Aut-t ia. cr the fanatic ropubli cans el' lladeo, or of the Palatinate, who intcrpesc thtir prtjudices or their fanaticism. It is the wonarc`a of Hanover and Saxony, the very SO vereigr a who aided in the draw:rg up of the imt trial constitution at Berlin, and who sant.- dosed it —it is these princes, who now declare that they met go tuck of their engagements, for thry have thought better of the matter, and Lave received council to delcrt the of hit:sets and his con stitution. Tee court' cf ILreaden end llarover of coulee pro pose a substitute. Every one in these day s must send faith a charter. The scheme of the two courts is to give back the lead in Ger man affairs to Aastria, declaring the Reich v.rstamdship to be vested in Austria and Free sia. By the side of this nominal headship the real power is to vest in a council of prince., contriving of lee veto, Austria, Prussia, and Bavaria, to have each one vote, Saxony, Hanover, aid Wurtemburg anther vote, • - ..d the smeller princes the fifth. Tile de le getrs of the sovereign representing these votes, ate to be do facto the ministers of the new empire. Time the cabinet or administration would be completely independent of any a.tional representation ore any public opinian. The ..urea of power would lie with the princes acd their delegutes, which is to form a goes rawest from above wit h • vengeance. We nerd not my, that this re-constitution of the old Getman dirt, or its concentration into a council of five, would be received by all Germany with eine burst of laughter and contempt. And yet a great many guvenmentshave coetribun d to it their wisdom. Nut only has Austria instructed the melte of Dresden and Hanover; but Russia has given hint., and tar, though not least, the English Foreign office has af forded its aid, if not its adhesion. It is difficult, certainly, to imagine Lord Panama stint sad the Czar NICHOLAS hunting together, with Gelman liberty and unity for their game and their prey. But so it ie. His lordship having come to act in per test unison with the court of St. Pet rebur4 on the Danish question, has ex tended the actien of so powerful an alliance to G. rir.aliy. We cannot well account fur t! le, but suppose that his lordship hese become convinced of the imp itidtn•s realisation of NAPOLEON'S prophecy, via., that Europe must bscime either Cossack or repub lican, and that in fear of any more republics he has taken the sudden 'volution to help central Europe to b. come Cusack. The fact is that whilst Minim armies have made Austria their camp, English diplomacy has been aiding Austria to reconquer G "many. It is the British envoys at Iheadeaandllenover, but especially at Dresden, who have shown the r selves the moat active opponocts of all acd eve ry German constitu tion. In one case our envoy in Saxony has positively protested; and it is to English influence that Is mainly owing the detest of the liberal scheme of a representative and popular government for rmaoy. The Duke of WELLINGTON'S name has been prominently put forward in this affair. Our Berlin letters assure as that his Glace's advice for the restoration of the old Austrian abs Autism has bad great inflames, adopted as that advice implicitly is said to have been by the Eagli-h Foreign-office. This change, or we should rather say, this complete reveled* in the foreign policy of the whig ministry and minister, will, we have no doubt, be hailed in tones of the greatesit triumph and satisfaction by t-e toner. Already indeed our Foreign-offi c receives its weed of praise from them for its deaerthen of Schles wig, and abettal of Denmark. And, no doubt, its hostility to Gorman liberty and unity, in order to favour the restoration of Austrian,cr, what is now the same thing, of Bassi en supremacy, will mollify abso lutist hate, and even appease tne inveteracy of Lad ABERDEEN. But it is for those few English politicians who tcoublc their heads ut oar foreign policy to inquire whither we are going. The me merit is a criti al one. France has got into sore difficulties with Austria. Thu g eat increase of the Frerch army fore Home has awakened the jealousies of Austria, which demanded no less of Piedmont, as the price of peace, than an offensive and defensive alliance, with a proviso that 20,0 .0 Piedmanteee biceps should join arid support the Austrian armke, in case of a costa ferd,ris arising out of the treaty. France has f bidden Picdmcnt to sign any such treaty, and Piedmont has withdrawn. In this state c f thing", which should inspire rs with the strongest determinition to keep aloof and remain totally strancers to the moves or counter-movea, the pre tentiuna or the jealousies of the contending parties', whet will be thought of our siding with Austrian and Hessian views in Germany ? We should think that there, as elsewhere, oAT government should have observed neutrality and abstained from into-- meddling, or that the moral influences and support of our diplomacy should at least have been given to the cause of noti ir.sl and liberal iniiitutime, instead of being exiirci ml ire behalf of reaction and absolutism. It is neural that our conies, who ware Carlists in Spain and legitimists in France, should be Austrians in Central Europe and in Italy. Ilut we mast confess we had hoped better things fron. Lord PALmEnsrmr. Toner the citizens of Loadan were called upon to give their decision on the great question of reFgious lilmity which is mailed to their judg ment. Up to Saturday bight there appevcd to be no prospect bat that the bigot party, knowing that the better part of valour was discre tion, would permit the citizens to Mill the great duty they are called on to perform withent die turbante or division. There had been tory mettinge both in the city and at the west end on Friday and it had been found hopeless to attempt a contest. Not only was the feeling of the citivms too evident to ad mit of seines', bat it was impossible to prevail upon any candidate to take the field. Mr. TTIONA9 BARING p'e ded the circumstance of his being already in the hru-e. Mr. ROBERT BEVAN po i.ted to Baron Roznecn ILD'S overwhelming majority over him at the last general election and expressed a disinclination to try the chances again. Mr. MILDMAT, a pi rtrer in the house of BARING, Brothers, shook his head determinedly ; Mr. fin). F. Youso could only stand if the expellers were guaranteed ; and, despite sun dry attempts, no sufficient person could be found to guarantee them. Sir PETER LAURIE and Alderman Storrs, who were" mentioned," were not thought lik4y either to attempt a contest, or to secure support if they tried. Mr. FBESIIFIELD, who was beaten by 2,000 at the last elec tion, wee evidently a desperate card; so the tories were obliged to decide that the Baron ROTII9- MILD should walk over. Late ma Saturday night, however, a meesenger ap peared in the City with tt , e announcement that acer &date would present himself; and that canduiate turned oat to be Lord Jolts MANNERS, the former representative of the Duke of NEWCASTLE, at Newark. His Grace, it ;mem, in the fulness of his intolerance, would make the city of London a close borough for the benefit of his firmer nominee. Nothing lea will content the Hoz.e of Lards. They determine not only that the citzens shall not have the man of their choice, but that they shall have the cast-off representative of one of the meet intolerant of their own order. This is playing a bolder game than we should have 'opposed even the Lords woo'd have attempted. We could have understood their adoption of such a man as Mr. BARING as th-ir de fender and champion—a man known to and respected by the citizens, and commercially and politically con nected with them—hut that they shouM elect to fight their battle by a candidate almost wholly unknown ' to the citizen", by one who has not a sites claim, that any one is *lrate of, on their suffrages, ant that they should do th • men ly because this y. ung man is born of the nobility, belongs to tt eir order, is not a " miserable trader , ' u the Lords woul I :ay, but one ot those flowers of the field " that toil not, neither do they spin"—thar. the Peers should set pnolic opinion so much at di flows as to elect to take their chance under the biot.er of such a champion as the, to the exclusion of the BAaINGs, the Bavass, nod ell the gnat City Valet, indeed surprises us even, at the amount of !leis presumption. Teat surprise must be increased when various at tendant circumstances airs taken into consideration. The nomination of Lord Joust MANNERS greatly complicates the p .sition ot the City tunes. It was hod enough before. The Marchester warehousemen and those among the shopkeepers who profess modertte conservative principles, would not support a protectionist : the shipbuilders and Navigation Law party, on tie other band, would not support a Pulite. These were elements of division sufficient, surely, for the o:casion. But there was one source of disci.rd a hicb, prior to this nomination, the City Oriel' had satisfactorily avoided. They were in perfect harmony on the religious question. Though they could not all join in the cry fir protection tor agriculture, they were all united in asking fur protection for what they cad their creed. Bat the nomination of Lord JOHN MAN NERS introduces s Little element of religious dissension. In the eyes of such conscien tious men as Mr. It C. L. Bevies, and his supporter', Lord Junx 31.cxxus is quite as dangerous as the Boron RoiIIBCHILD. Ile es not a Jew, but, in the eyes of the Record, he is even worse—he is a confirmed PUSETITE ! Lord JOHN is an avowed disciple if the deepest-dyed Pustyism. He is scarcely a de gree removed from the adoption of the Roman religion ; we belicee he is one of those who would Laee no objection even to communicate with pr fissure i f thst faith. 'This is a candidate wor by it the Bishops of EXETER and Ozronn ; of Mr. Recorder LAW and the University ben ipeseets. But how time esti of WINCIIILSEA and Sir R. H. Ischts, and the National Club, will brie g themselves to sanction such a candidate we can not possibly conceive. We wish so striking an evi dence of the dissensions among professors of their own re lig'on may teach them some degre.: of telerance . even for the Jew. _ By whom Lord JORN MANIC. RS may be supported remains to be seen. It i-, we thick, improbable that he will go to a poll ; bat, at the /SOW time, the liberals will do well to be prepare I even tr that event. The opposition offered by the House of Peeve, through one of their own rder, will have, we appre h. ad, a good result upon our friends. It will el'cit a stronger ezprc.sion of their opinion than could otherwise have be.% rep e:cd. Their "pull" will b all the stronger and the more unanimous for this lordly interruption to their day's proceedings. All Hewers of liberal ci izeus will join in supporting the Baron Rovitecuitio to day. Mr. RAISES CURRIE, the City b other and number for Northampton, a pro minent representative of tLe leading City Whigs, will prop se the b iron on the hustings. He will be tecended by Mr. 11tu.014, of the great firm of MORRISON and DttLos, a ooneiettnt and enlightened radical The chartists are to a man prepared to fight the biole of lite r y on this ecciseiou : feeling that until the right of I letting their own members is conceded to consti turnee. without the intervention of the House of Lords, all strugele. for parliamentary ref .rm must be nugatory. The baron will be attended to the hustioge by a large acid influential body of leading Lberafs, and, let toe opposition be whet it may, his success is beyond a doubt. _ A morning paper of Saturday intimated an ii.ten tion en the put of the tones to onject to the Barra Ito-rnsetittit on the granid of leg•elative disqualifi ca ion. Nothing can be more absurd. As we have pointed out, over and over again, Jews are in no way disqualified from sitting iu parliament by law, statute, or euactmen% Tiii y mig‘it re:t to-morrow if they chow to take any one of the oaths which arc prescribed to be taken by members of any religious creed. If they chose to evade the real issue they might even take their seats under the Boman citholic or presbyterisn forms of ow , h, in which the words "on the true faith of a ('hris•ian" do not occur. But the Baron ROTHSCHILD refuses to resort to t^ese ex pedient', and prefers to tea the great principle of religious tolera•ion which arises out of his eh ethl. Because ho does; en, however, he is no more disquali fied from teing elected than any oth, r man ; and any attempt to questi , •n his privilege, whilst it would ex hibit an unmeaning in•olersne", would have no other effect than to show the lidicoloas igr.orance of the objectors. the Orpreofs.

Fellonx has brought forward a law upon pubic instruction, which is of the class called organic. This law changes the system of pub lic instruction all over France Three projects are contained in it—one on the orgun.zation of the authorities chosen for teaching; another, on the organization of primary, and a third on that of secondary, instruction. The council of the university and the body of inspectors of the academy are sti 1 the authorities in matters of teaching; but g.eat changes are made in the compasi tion of this c tuned, the authority of the councils of tae departments being introduced as an element to combat centralisation. All this may be very good, and the law an improvement, though a very slight one, towards that libel ty of e .acation welch is so ardehf y desired. But in the preseottation of the project to the consideration of the competent authorities, there is a course to be followed which is indicated by the con stitution. The law on the council of state starm with this clear deficition, that every law, with the excep tion of certain special once, such u the budget, re cruiting, and tour or live others that are specified, shall be tine presented to the eouncil of state to be considered ; and every low a hi, h flintier/ from the assembly, shall be examined by the council of slate before it eau btc me legal. In the f ice of this dis tinct wording, M. de Falloux lu submitted his ',reject direely to the conmber, and the com miesioners have d• clamed that it was needless to refer t, the c mei! of stet, . Thus the cous itutiun is valceed at eve:y turn by the p.rty which now commands the majority. Mean while the government are pro, etdisg rapidly, and without stopping, in their pith of repression, or rather c.)mpression, of the mit.ority ut the legislative assem bly. Thirteen more representatives have been packed out from the M 'entails at the beck of the Prc cureur- General, and are to be presecuted f,r sedition and other crimes. The committees named to report upon the curs have all voted the erg ncy of 'he minister al demand, and no doubt the ailthoriotti.m to prosecute • will be obtained without difficulty. i To-day the cl-13a.e was commenced upon the con ; elusions of the committee recommending the authorize e Lieu to prosecute 4 repres-natives. The debate was n g sing on at post hour. GERMANY. AUSTRIA.—Our latest intelligence from Vienra is to June 28. Hajn.o Las a.tdressed from Freeburg on the 23rd a report to the Emperor, of which the substance is u f Mows: -.From the recoonsisanee undertaken on the 22nd by Gereul He zinger it isi ascertained that the .nsurgents crossed over at Sereg- Akot to the right bank of the Nenhatieler-arm of the llanube, and carried Lir the br dee.

Th~ last news (25th) from Freeburg state, that a corps of Niagyan, 20,000 strong, had appeared in T.umehin. under Beni'zkv. The Russian bead-quarters in the west were at Freistadtl. It was repo rted that. 7 Austrian officers had been shot in Debream, in reprisal for the execution of the preacher Razz', at Presburg.

All the clubs and political associations have been dissolved, aril, only the rison2l guard, who do garrison duty, are permitted to wear arms. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 2, 1849. SPAIN. MADRID, Jess 24. Yesterday's sittings in which a ponderous speech of a Senor Alvaro had almost reduced the chamber to sleep, became somewhat en.ivened when Illa lialagner fulminated a furious invective agairst Eng land, which he diluted with the usual arguments of the prohilitioniste. Toe finance mini-ter then mado a short reply, and after some more " last words" from that eternal Ills Balaguer, the stcond clause of the bill passed without opposition. Oloz rga then rose to sr oak on an amendment that Laserna, Olczaga, and ethe-s had signed, but La setae's name having been withdrawn, Olozaga was naturally obliged to speak. The house, which a short time before presented a beegarly account of empty seats," nom fast filled, the talkers in the public gal leries were hushed into silence, and the Catalonian de pu'ation crowded into the private gallery, prepared to heir the orator in whom they had put their last hopes. They were soon undeceived . Instead of a monopolist discourse, Olozaga came out with one of the best free trade epee ches that I ave been made this session. While 01.. z gt was in the beginning of his speech, \lon, the Einar ce le't the house, and the Catecitian deputation left the private gallery, and both the minister and the deputation returned to their respective scats. In the interval of their ate sem., an intrigue had taken place between them and the minister. He core, nted that there should be added to Oluzaga's amendment another clause, which put it into the power of the minite er to chen 4e the character of the bill completely. This intrigue having been effec'ed,.he deputy Barzarellana stated, in the name of the com mittee, that he accepted the amendment of Senor Olnz rga, provie!ed that there be added certain worth., which words converted the motion into a protective. one. A speechless silence seemed to overpower the chamber for some momenta. A deputy d-manded that an art'ele of tl e rah s of the Chamber should be read, prohibiting the reading of amendments which were not presented before the discussion of bills. Confu sion began to Wee piece, and the prohibitionists thought they had triumphed in delaying the reform. Olozaga rose again, and lead that as the affair was turning against his prir cii.les, be would withdraw his amendment. A general movement of applause followed this action. The bill passed by 119 against 29. Time the first step in the path of liberal commercial policy has beta made, thanks to the progressieta party support. Mon had already b gun to Wow het and cold upon the Catalonian deputation, without under standing what he conceded them, and had it not b. en for the able mandate of Olozaga, the bill would have been lost. CONSTANTINOPLE,Juss 15. The Turkish government decided upon esta blishing a bank here, with a capital of 25 millions of pingtes (210,0001), under the direction of Mews. J. Alleon and E. Italtazzi.

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.—The returns of the quarter'. reyeaue, to be made up to Thursday night neat, ..re looked for, perhaps, with less than use -1 anxiety, in cot , sewience of comes so soon after the enoual statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in which the right hon.

He could not, however, avoid being impressed with the con dition and prospects of the revalue at the period when he addressed his statement to the House of Commons, and to the empire at large. He hu already received the due mead of approbation for the caution which he so judici suely exhibited is poioponing all interference with the public resourc I, a bitst an many causes still exist, tir.toth they are happily diminishing, to forbid a too hasty decision. The receipt of the Customs for the quintet. about to end will show a de crease of Lot less than a quarter of a million as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year. The interrup lion to our foreign trade, by the continued diseurbances all over the continent of Europe, hive doubtless somewhat con tributed to this result. It would be unfair, however, not to notice the arrivals of foreign corn, which were remarkably large in the months of /Lord, May, and June, 1818, owing to the previous shortness of stock and the apprehensions for the then approaching harvest. Happily we are relieved from those fears in the present year, and the ecnsequenee is that importations much less in quantity are msde, even at the present reduced rate of almost nominal duty. The Excise will also show a falling off, though not to so large an &monist, and which can be entirely accounted for by the postponement of the hop duties, so large a portion of which were generally counted in the receipts of the July router. — Maurer. MILLINERS' AND DRESSMAKERS' PROVI DENT AND BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. The Rest annual meeting of this institution took place on Saturd_sy mornie.g, at Willis's Rooms, St. James's. Lord AettLite, M.P., presided, and there was a highly re- Tumble attendance, including a number of ladies, and of thou engaged in the above trader Hi LORDSHIP, in opening the proceeding', expressed I the pleasure which he felt in presiding at any meeting wheat ' object was to remove that which had no long been a reproach to this and other cities. He was glad to have the counsel and asestance of the heads and employers in the businesses which this institution embraced, knowing that no progress wale be made without their co-operation. There now 1 existed two societies for the benefit of milliners and dress makers ; be hoped they would be united, and &mime each other. Him experience led him to the conclusion that a multiplicity of societies of thin kind was an advantage, be muse it led to the employment of a greater number of per ms. and brought into full play their concentrated efforts an the common object. They had now two sod *Hes, distinct only in name. The " Society for the Aid of Milliners and Dress-makers" directed its attention to the hours of labour, and other phyeiral and moral improvements needed by those engaged in millinery and dressmaking. The chief object of the present society was to make provision for their old age and misfortunes. The bd-ssing of Gad had instigated this good work, and he hoped God would prosper it. (Hear, hear.) This was not an institution of an eleemeeynary character ; for, though a fund of 10,0001. we. to b e raised, that would not destroy the independent character of the institution. That fund would not he raised solely by the parties to be benefited, but by th e holders of capita l; and he held it one of the greatest blessings connected with the possession of capital so to disprse of it as to call forth the energies of others, and to give them the mean. of exerting their industry, ability, and acdvii. Tease who subscribed to objects like the present gave young persoss an opportunity of making exertice.• for their future independence ; in Het, they did something like what parents did when they supported their children and save them the means of working out their destiny. He trusted this institution would be supposed and imitated over the whole kingdom, and that the principle would be recognised and acted on , the welfare and free dom of action of the female sex were essential to the morality and happiness of the whole nation. (Cheers.) Mr. WATSON read the report of the directors, widths:- m.140d much satisfaction at the complete organisation of tne institution, and the auspicious commencement of Its operations. The result of the lebours of the committee was most satisfactory ; yet, though the institution had bean hi therto favourably received, there still existed those diffical tie- every institution met with at the beginning. Confilence was felt that they would be removed, and the directors had the conviction of the complete etability and success of the undertaking. These were in all 81 members, of whom 24 had paid the requisite Ii e subscriptions. There were 35 applicitions nailer consideration of the committee. The ex• pence already incurred amounted to 1351. 9. 3d., and the total receipts to 2,2441. 13,.41., 2,0001. of which was laid out la the purchese of stock in the Three per Cents. It would be necessary to raise the funds of the institution to 5,0001. before its operations could be safely and fully brcught in-o plc,. The Hon. A. KINNAIRD moved the adoption of the report. Mr. LEWIS proposed "That the meeting, de - ply int with the advantages held out by the institution, and fil l jr it siware that great exertions are necessary in order to raise its funds to an efficient amount, respectfully ask for the support of the noble and affluent, and of all who desire the welfare of the industrious and inter:sting clue for whom it is intended to proside." Mr. OWEN seconded the resolution, and very earnest', requested the employers of milliners and dressmakers to do justice to the institution. The Rev. J. JACKSON mired a vote of thanks to the "Society for the aid and benefit if Milliners and Dress. milers," for their co-operation in the formation of the pre sent institution, and for their contribution of 100 guineas to its funds; also in an especisl manner to R. 1).

DEATHS FROM CHOLERA.—Bekeo Mr. Baker, at the City of Canton, North-street, Poplar, on the body of Jane Bell, aged 25. Mary Hutchinson, Crou•treet, Mill wall, uid that the deceased was a married woman, and her husband was a carman. She was in good heal , h till Tuesday hot, when she was very sick, and had severe cramps. She was always a sober steady woman, arA there was no com plaint about the drains. She died on Friday morning. Every attention was paid to her.—Mr. Thomu Gray, sur geon, Poplar, was called to deceased about nine o'clock on Thursday evening. She was in bed and nearly in a state of 'Alvin from malignant Asiatic cholera. There is a cable adjoining the house. Witness applied the usual remedies, with calomel, every ten minutes.—Verdict, " Natural death from Asiatic cholera." Another inquest wu taken at t►e City of Canton, on the body of Richard Barrett, aged 3.5, shoemaker.— Bartholomew :thee, Berry-street, Mill-wall, said that de ceased lived in the same house. He wu in good health. He complained of pains in hi. bowels on Sunday, but took nu •dace for it. On Wednesday morning he became worse, and cramps cam, on, for which he took a ime brandy. lie woe afterward, mooed to the Infirmary for Cholera Patients ap pointed by the guudians. There is a nauseous effluvium from a white lead factory adjoining. Deceased died on Thursday evening. Mr. Thomas Gray said that he saw deceased on Wednesday evening at the infirmary, in bed. He wu fast sinking from As,atic cholera.—The Coroner observed that so many casts were truly alarming. He did not know what to suggest, except cleanliness and sobriety. w .6 happy to say that the Commissioners of Sewers promptly attended to his communication.—Mr. Gray OS served that the premonitory symptoms ought to be promptly attended to. Verdict, ' N atural death from Asiatic cholera." . . . . A third inquest was taken at the City of Canton, on the body of William Bless, aged 6 years, who was living with his punts near the Eel rye House, and who died of Asiatic cholera on Friday last, after 17 hours' illness. There was a want of drainage in the neighbourhood. Two other similar i. quests were held: one was on the body _of Mr. John Miller, agsd 27, residing in Hunter -street, Hoxton ; so] the other was on the body of William Marten, aged 10 years!, who resided is East Smithfield. In the last cues the deceased were healthy, and there was no complaint of bad drainage. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF EXETER'S BROTHER. Oa Saturday nigh:, at eight o'clock, a jury were empanelled, before, Mr. Be f rd, the con nee, in the board-room of St. James's Workhouse, l'oland-street, Westminster, to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of John Phillpotu, Esq., the late member for Gloucester, and brother to the Bishop of Exeter, who died very suddenly in an omnibus. Mr. Al. lender llre, of No. 24, Bloomsbuersquue, surgeon, deposed that the deceased gentleman was see. nty-four years of age, and resided at No. 14. Pall-mall. The deceased was a harristecat.law, and was member for 01 - ucesmr for up wards of seventeen years. Witness never attended him pro f solemnly, but always considered him to be a very healthy 'non. The Bishop of Exert: and decease d's son had been writ ten to and informed of the death, but they were notable to arrive in town to give evidence. The coroner observed that it was unnecessary, as Mr. Ure had identified the hair. James Rotects, of No. 26, Palk-wee', Camden-town, said he orao eon:Metor to one of the Waterloo omnibus: a. On Friday night, shout a qua er past ten o'clock, the deceased nailed him at the corner of Devonshire-street, in Pentland place. The omnibus was stopped, and he got in without assistance and appeared perfectly well. On teaching the Regen 's -circus, Oxford.street, the omnibus stopved, it being umal to wait several minutes to t eke up passengers at that robot. Two minutes had not elapsed when witness looked in to see hew away ouseners there were. The deceased was sitting near the icor, and there were two ladies and a gentleman in the omnibus. Witness had only jos t looked in when the deceased suddenly fell on outside and laid alone the seat. Witness immr diately opened the door sad misted in lifting him up lie appe wed quite helpless and in a state e 4 insensibility. Witness, with the assistance of several per sons, carried him to the shop of Mr. Budge, a chemist, In Regent's-circus, and a surgeon was instantl sent for, who upon his arrival pronounced the deceased to be quite dead. He n spoke after he fell. The omnibus was stationery when he fell. Mr. J. G. French said he made &post ',torten examination of the deceased in the presence of Mr. Uni. There were no external marks of violence. The heart was considerably enlarged and double the usual size. The valve of the lett ventricle was ossified. The rest of the organs wore quite healthy. Witness opened the head, and found an effusion in the ventricles of the brain. Witness was of opinion the deceased had died of a diseased heart, which was claim sufß inn to account for the suddenness of the death. There was no appetrance of any deleterious matter in tee stomach. Death must have been instantaneous. The c ironer sail after hearing sash evidence there was no occasion to proceed further in the inquiry. The death was most awful. sudden, and a most melancholy one. The jury immediatel returned • verdict of " Natural death from • diseased heart." THE FATAL EXPLOSION ON THE SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY. An inquest in this care wan commenced on Friday, before Mr. Bane, the coroner for Devon. After viewing the body of deceased, /Leary Evens, late a stoker on the S , ntk Devon Railway, and who boat his life in connexion with the explosion of the bider of ono of the locomotive en rhos on W. dnesclay, the following evidence wee given : Mr. W. Manley said, I am a civil engineer and superin tendent of the South Devon section of the Great Western Railway Company's locomotive department. It Pi my duty to attend to the repair of the engines on the line, and to see they are in peeper order for w irking the traffic of the line. There are not stated times for doing so; but it is my duty to inspect the engines for this purpose as often as passible On Saturday last I examined the engine 0 lßeth. I found it in goal working or. der. The engine was upwards of seven years old, and the bonier was to ell appearanoe sound when I examined it. I examined the engine on Wednesday evening sPer the ex plosion took place. I found the engine lying with the smoke hoz underneath the Mader—the fire-box was in the opposite direction—so that it was completely turned round, and lying on its right side. The tep of the fire - box bad been forced in, which was the cause of the position of the engine and train. The dome of the boiler was quite perfect. My opinion is that the boiler exploded in consequence of the pressure of steam being greater than the ire-box of the boiler could bear. Of course a greater pressure is ri quired to work a train upon an ircline than on a level. The incline at Plynipton begins close to the station, and continues to iiemerdon, a distance of about three miles. I cannot state the event of the rise on this incline, but I tkink about one in fifty ; but Mr. Margery, th • resident engineer of the line, is present, and I hare no doubt he can do so. Mr. P. J. Margery was called. He stated he was s chit engineer and the resident engineer of the S ,uth Devon Rail way. The degree of inclination on the Plympton ineine was about one in forty-seven. Idr. Mutters examination resumed—This incline is not, I believe, • very usual one, but I do not consider it dangerous for a locomotive engine. There are steeper inclines and in• Mines as steep upon other lines. When a greeter sp. ed is required, the sal et) valve is screwed down, but Thompson could not have reached the spring -balance whilst in his eraper place, it being on the left side of the engine, and the engine-man's place being on the right. I found the spring belanco on my examination of it on Wedr aid I evening screwed down to 701bs ; and my cowdueion from that is, that there was not a greater pressure than the regulated pres sure, or what the boiler ought to be able to bear, supposing it to be as good u when it was tested. The boilers are tested to bear upwards of 100 lb.. The next witness was Hurst, the engine•man alluded to by Mr. Marley. He rated he was an engine-man in the em ploy of the Great Western Railway Company ; he said it was his duty to run the ensiles , and to look after the en gines as well, and to take the reports of the other engine men as to the state of their engines, and to take them to Mr. Hartley. He examined the Goliath on Wednesday after noon, and found it in good working order, and perfectly sound to the eye. The engine came down to Plymouth on Wednesday morning with the mail train. Witness examiued it at two o'clock when the fire was out. He did not take out the water to examine the baler. The water would show if there were any flaw in the boiler quick. r than it could be discovered by the eye. There were 4i iaches of water on the top of the inside firebox. That is a proper working quantity. There was no leakage from the boiler when the engine left. The boiler appears to me to have sprung under the firedoor. The metal seems at that spot to be good; and I cannot explain the cause of its springing. The nt.tal will sometimes sriag in a new boiler, even when from its surface it is impossi ble to detect any defect. lie had known a boiler burst in three week's werking, and would not think it more extraordinary that a new one should burst then that an old one should do so. No report was mode to e liess that the engine was out of order. Thompson had been an engine -man four years; he was a steady man, and witness thought he was very competent to the he filed. Mr. H. Gooch, the chief superintendent of the locomotive department of the Great Western Railway, basing inti mated his desire to be examined, was next called by the coroner. Mr. Gooch said he desired to be examined in or der to correct an impression which he thought might be produced on the minds of the jury in respect to the pres sure of steam on tae boiler. 'floe pressure on the boiler was a fixed quantity and not affected by the gradient or velocity. The quantity of rum generated in a !mom tive engine varies according to the intensity of the blast on the fire, while . blast is cauleed by the eduction of the steam into the chimney; therefore if the engine be running quick, and re quire a greater supply of steam from the boiler she is at the same time discharging a quantity into the chimney, and, there:ore, producing greater heat in the fire; so that the pressure is self-regulating as the engine moves, sad aecordii g to the duty she is pert-arming. I have seen the engine ie question to-day. The condition of it has been correctly de scribed by the witnesses already examine d , Toe thick ness of the copper where the fracture has taken place is three-eighths of an inch, the ordains' thickets+ being three eighths and a sixteenth, which is there( re a loss of a six teenth. There boilers when new are fit to bear 300 to 3601b'. on the inch quite safely, and I believe this boiler was fit to bear from 150 to 2001 b.. The appearance of the crown of the copper fire-box leads me to think that it was heated at the time, which would show an absence of water, and when the train came to the bottom of the incline the driv- r would naturally put on a greater quan tity of steam into the cylinders. Mr. Goole—There as an order given to the engiaemen to work at not a greater pressure than 70, and on ma account to hold down the safety valve. Mr. Gooch handed in the lA lowing order : NOIrCES TO EN4'17011,11.8 AND . FIILMI3I. —OCT., IR I L—Several canes hue occurred the Out fortnight of tubes building, and slide valves being lost, and these accidents may all be traced to the enginis being forced to move more than do ir proper perroure. The cognomen are hereby cautioned against allowing *heir firemen to hold the valve screw down upon any account; but of.er the engine is screwed down to 63104., any sp are *team must be allowed to blow o ff freely from the valve, Sr to be ,town into the tender. The Coroner, having corsulted with Mr. Gooch, asked Mr. Greenhow, in respect to a portion of his evidence, why, if the steam accumulated, and dangers thus arose frail stoppages on the iodine, the same danger did not ensue from the trine stopping at the vari us stations ? The witness in reply said that the steam was not generat ing with the same rapidity then, because the flees wt re always slacked before coming into the stations, but on the incline this won not the case, and they blew off the steam at the stations, while they retained it on the incline to get power for a fresh effart. He considered the gradients on the South Devon line too great fur the locomotive—for the carrying of Write tr tins. He heard, however, that they were now making locomotives large enough to carry anything ; in that case of course the traffic might be carried en satin faetorily. The inquest was adjourned till to day (Monday). THE NIAGARA, Captain Hyrie, nailed on Saturday (r.= Liverpool tor Halifax and New York. THE New SAVINGS' BANK BILL —We hear that the government is quite ready with its New Savings' Bank Bill, which it is anxious to bring forward as early u possible, in order that the minute may come into operation from aid after the 20th of November next. It is now understood that the government will become r sponsible, and that as a conse quence it will uadertake the entire management of savings' banks; thus placing the safety of these institutions beyond all doubt.—Reporter and Savings' Bank. Advocate. • THF. " SHOOTING GALLERY" NUISANCE. The Wednesday following the Newton races, a yonn_f woman, apparently about twenty years of age, was brought before the Mayor of Warrington by the police., who stated that they had found her wandering about the stores of the town. She appeared to ba a destitute stranger, and, from her conduct, the police believed her to ben sane. She had a recent wound on one aide of htir head, and, from what information could be gathered, it appeared that she had been at the Newton races, and was either standing behind or passing near a shooting 'el le, y, when she was shot in the bead. The wound was subsequently dressed by a surgeon of Newton. She afterwards rambled to this town, and being met by the police, an stated, she was taken into custody for safety. When before the bench she could hardly articulate a single word, nor did she stem to comprehend a simple queetion. The bench thought it advisable that she should be taken to the workhouse for the purpose of having medi eel aid. Sh a was taken accordingly under the care of Mr. Hunt, surgeon, who found the skull serious 4 fractured. lie probed the part, and felt a hard substance, which he he aved to be a ball. Oa Thursday the girl's heed was tre panned, and embedded in some congealed blvd, pressing upon the membrane, wee found a misshapen leaden bullet, half an ounce in weight. Before the ball was ex tracted the girl was speechless, but immediately after its extraction she recovered her articulation. She is now lying in a very precarious state. She states her name to be Jane Markland, and that she efines from Dixon green, near Bolton, where her relations reside. As seeer,l ic‘idents have occurred lately at the race grounds from similar tassel to the present cue, it is, we think, a duty incumbent upon the anthcrities not to permit shooting galleries either to be upon or anywhere near the race ground At the last Cheater races a man was killed by a ball shot from one of thesis galleries, and in this case it is doubtful if the girl will recover. The safety of people visiting races is imminently endangered by these galleries, and unless they are suppressed, numerous accidents will ensue.—Manchester Examiner.

THE STANFIELD HALL MURDERS.—It his been matter of coojecture whether, on the tragical night of Nov. 29, the amnia Rush 'mid any weapon he-ides the blunder buss found at Pot oh on Hey 19, and "aught of Mr. Feld, 233. Holborn, on the 13th of July, 1848 The following extract of a letter, addressed by Mr Field to a ceen.v nte gistrate on the 23rd inst., is, we think, a proof that the only weapon used was the blunderbuss in Tuition ; and the mur derer probably reloaded it in the dining-room : " There was one circumstance connected with the sale of the gun which I did not mention to you,—that the man who bought it or dered the touch-holes to be enlarged, in order to make them prime themselves, which, coupled with his having cirtridges would greatly facilitate the reloading.—Norjoik Chro nick. FIRE IN ST. GlLEs'd.—Yesterday morning at an early hour a fire broke out in the lower part of Sayer's beer shop, St. Andrew-greet, Sewn d:als. The brigade engines and men soon reached the neighbourhood. Water was abundantly procured, and with difficulty the Are was subdued, with oonsiderable &mtge. The hone was full of ledgers, who wt re totally unconscious of their danger till aroused by some persons patting theft's'''. MIL HUDSON, M.P., AND RAILWAY MANAGEMENT. (Prem the llotltray Chronick.) Wo regret to hear from all sides minutes of read omen about the state of Mr. Iludson'a accounts, is they have turned out in the recent ex sminatb.ns into the Of sirs of the link and North Midland, er York and Newcastle. Our readers well know that we have done Mr. Hudson ample justice. We expressed very earls our determination not to I allow ourselves to be biassed be idle clamour of men who were tirsd of their idol, and vented upon the object of their former worship a wroth quite as irrational as their veneration. We never subscribed to a Hudson te-timonial ; and, there fore, wets quite at liherty to defend him from his friends when he fell into adversity. It is, therefore, with great regret we have to announce to our readers that we lave authentic ibliermation, which leaves us no room to doubt that our belief in Mr. Hudson's honesty of purpose sod in•egrity of intention was misplaced. The transactions that have taken place it seems impos.ible to palliate or to justify. It would appear that Mr. Hudson was led to forget altogether the marked distinction between his own property and that of his railway companies. He seems to have, to a great ex tent, in the habit of placing the cash of the company to his own private account, and of paying the debts of the company cut of his own private NA. also. But it would also appear that the transactions of the former kited have much preponderated over the latter; and that Mr. Hudson has remained to a lamentable extent richer by his intro missions with the companies' funds. [From llerapath's Journal.] We undentand that the York, Newcastle, an I B. rwick Railway Company have par: lolly removed their account from the Hnitn Bank of York, of which Mr. Hudson is . chairmen, to the Newcastle and Northumberlat.d Datsiet Bank at Newcastle. It is said that Mr Hudson will :4•11 to refund to this railway some 200,0001, a d that thing" will appear against him in the report much worst than is generally expected. He is reported already to have paid back, or arranged to pay back, 75,0001.

Denim, JUNE 30. There was a great fire in this city last night. The Free Church, which stood in Great C - aeries-di eet, was totally destroyed, owing, it is supposed, to some explosion from the gas-pipes. A valuable library and magnificent organ were destroyed in the flames. Since the burning of the C nstom Housestores someyeana Ei .t e, there has nat been so great a fire in Dublin. The Nlountstuart Elphinteone has sailed for its des•ination from the Cove of Cork with the political convicts, Martin and (Moberly, a fact which has caused some surprise, as it was supposed that all tae convicts would be sent t 'gether. The Press of last night disparages the project of London companies making settlements in Ireland. It as ':s what would Connemara be worth to an English proprietary, and at some length contends that there is much illusion in Ergland about the capacities of English owners to make the Irish soil more valuable. A bubble pul:ey has so long ben pursued in Ireland b)• the popular party that when more rational views of Irish regeneration are presented, it is not surprising that the experience of past delusions should make some persona sceptical of all improvement. PROVINCIAL REPEAL OF TIIE NAVIGATION LAWa.—A public upper in celebration of the repeal of the navigation laws eefk place at Stockport last week, C. Hudson, Esq., pre siding on the °ocarina. Amongst the company present a ere some of the most influential gentlemen of the reform petty in the town. The cloth having been with Irawn, the chairman proceeded to observe that the services rend, red by the present members for the boraugh (whatever the uiffe rolee of opinion existing might hef, were such as eminently entitled them to the esteem and respect of all clangs. On the question of the navigation laws, the repeal of which they had met to celebrate, the Stockport members had spoken with no divided voice, but had acted in harmony for the gene rat good. He hoped that the unity evinced in this cause by the members fur the borough, would set as an example in the local matters of the town, and thus allay that political 'bitterness of feeling which had too long been al lowed to exist. After some further remarks, the Chairman proposed " The Queen, and Royal Family," which was re ceived with all the honours. The Chairman then gave " The Repeal of the Navigation Laws," to which Mr. Set tat responded. The health of the members fur the borough having been drunk, Mr. Woolley acknowledge I the toast. Several other toasts having been proposed, amongst which were "Mr. Cobden and Free Trade," and " The Arbitration Movement," all of which were duly acknowledged, the meeting broke up.

PROFESSORSHIP OF MODERN MISTORT.—A vacancy has been created in this chair, by the much lamented decease of the v.nerable Professor Smyth, who occupied the same for a period of 42 years. It will be recollected that at the in stallation, his royal highness, the Chancellor, honoured the venerable professor with a special visit, the infirmities of the later preventing his attendaece at th levee of his royal 'news , . The late professor had passed (says the Cambridge C'hronicle)" far beyond the three score and tea " allotted al the ordinary term of human existence. The venerable pro fessor breathed his last at Norwich, and his remains have been deposited without ostentation, in the Cathedral of that city, near those of his niece, Mrs. Tawke, He wa not c.eried e.S by any stroke of violent Meese, but by a gradual decay of nature, consequent upon his advanced age. Pro fessor Smyth was a member and formerly fellow of St. Peter's College. He graduated as long as 62 years ago, namely in 1787 and proceeded M.A. iu 1790. In 1807, he succeeded Profeern Symonds in the Professorship of Modern History, which he retained to the day of his death. He was toe author of " Lecture' on the French Revolution," " Evidences of Christianity," &c., and in this place it in needless to say that his writings as a philosophical hi s torian are highly appreciated. The Prefeesorehip of Modern History was founded by George 1., in 1724, and was held by the poet Gray from 1768 to 1771. The Queen appoints during plc/mare, and the salary is 4001. • year.
