ROUTER-BOOTH reported from the Northallerton committee that Mr. C. H. Mills was not duly elected, and that the last election was a void election. The committee further resolved that Mr. Mills was by his agents guilty d bribery at the last election. Mr. GREGORY, from the committee on the Wakefield petition, reported that Mr. W. H. Leathern was duly elected; that it was proved that several persons were offered bribes to vote for Mr. Leatham, but it was not =that such offers were made with the consent or ledge of Mr. Leathern or his agents. The oommittee had no reason to believe that corrupt practices extensively prevailed at the last election for Wakefield. (Laughter.) The members appointed to sere on the Harwich election committee were oad to the table and sworn. NEW WRITS.

BRAND then moved that a new writ be issued for the borough of Reading in the room of George Shaw Werra, Esq., who had accepted the office of one of the Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Ad miral of the United Kingdom. Agreed to. Upon the motion of Colonel TAYLOR, a new writ was ordered to issue for the election of a knight of the shire for the northern division of the county of Devon, in the room of the Hon. C. R. Trefusis, who had succeeded to the barony of Clinton. 7ARY OATHS. Mr. MAGUIRE begged to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, whether it was the intention of the government, sow that the oaths hitherto taken by members of parii►- m►ent bad been replaced by a simple and uniform oath, to introduce a bill in the present session to substitute a similar form of oath for that now required to be taken by ill persons accepting municipal or other offices in Ireland. Mr. O'REILLY wished also to ask whether a similar provision would be made for persons other than those hold ing offices in Ireland. Mr. C. FORTBSCUE replied that the government did sot propose introducing any bill at present on the subject Zwzationed by his hon. friend, but they had decided on liming a commission to take into consideration all oaths of all kinds taken in that country for the purpose of review ing them and bringing them into consonance with the altered state affairs, so as to remove anything that might he objectionable. ADMINISTRATION OF THE POOR-LAW. Mr. KINNAIRD asked the President of the Poor-law Board if the promised measure for amending the adminis tration of the Poor-law Board in the metropolis would give proper controlling power to the Poor-law Board over the parishes at present governed under local sets ; whether it would abolish the election of guardians for life ; and if he knew whether the guardians of Clerkenwell had dis continued that ill-treatment of paupers which had been repeatedly commented on in the public press. Mr. VILLIERS said that a measure for amending the administration of the Poor-law in the metropolis would shortly be laid before the house for the purpose of carry ing into effect as far as possible the recommendations of the commute., which sat up-stain. With respect to the conduct of the guardians of Clerkenwell, he had to inform the hon. member that • new board had been elected, and Wiped more e ff ectual measures would now be taken for providing for the boneless poor. TRAFFIC OF THE METROPOLIS. Mr. 0. STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for the some Department if, in accordance with the special re port of the City Trunk) Committee, the commis sioners of police, in their respective districts, had been instructed by the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment to submit regulations for the trail% of the metro- Sir 0. GREY said that his hon. friend must have inisunderstood the purport of the report of the committee. They reported that the Traffic Bill ought not to proceed, because it was too limited in its operation, but a gen era { measure should be introduced to regulate the whole of the traffic throughout the metropolis. It would be the duty of the government to prepare a bill, and no regulations could be submitted until that was done. Mr. 0. STANLEY wished to know whether the govern ment proposed to take charge of the bill! Sir G. GREY said that was their intention in accord ance with the statement he had already made. KING'S COUNTY ELECTION. Mr. CAVE brought up the report of the committee ap- Ei n t e ed to consider the va li dity of the return for the • 's County. They reported that Sir Patrick O'Brien had n duly elected a knight of the shire for that conati tuency. (General cheering.) THE RECIPROCITY TREATY. Mr. LAYARD appealed to the bon. member for Stock port to postpone the motion of which he bad given notice, calling attention to the termination of the reciprocity frosty with the United States. Mr. WATKIN thought he had fair ground to complain of the delay which had already attended his notice. The treaty involved a trade of 10,000,0001. sterling annual value, and affected important interests connected with our North American fisheries. He should be sorry, however, to give any inconvenience to the government, and there fore he would consent to postpone his motion until next supply night, when he trusted • fair opportunity would be given for the diacussion of the subject. (Hear, hear.) OATHS OF MEMBERS. Sir G. GREY rose to move the following resolution : " That members may take and subscribe the oath required by law, at any time during the sitting of the house, before the orders of the day or notices of motion have been dis posed of ; but no debate or business shall be interrupted for that purpose." The motion was agreed to, so was also the following : " That the standing order of the 15th day of August, 1860, relative to the swearing of persons professing the Jewish religion, be repesled." -THE FRANCHISE BILL.—MINISTERIAL EXPLA NATION. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who was reoeived with loud and continued cheering from all parts of the house, rose and aaid—Elir,—l stated on Friday night, or, rather, to be more literally correct, at daybreak on Saturday, that I would to-day, with the permission of the house, make known the views her Majesty's government entertained with respect to the most important of the public business before the house in which they are °an imate& Of course, after such a division as took place at the time I have named, it is right that I should mention the view which the government take of their position. (Heer, hear.) Her Majesty's government have not seen in that division any reason or warrant for their desisting tram the affairs in which they are engaged to endeavour to ban into law a measure for the representation of the people. (Cheers.) They understand their position to be as follows. Not to dwell for the moment upon the slight numerical difference between the minority and majority— (laughter from the opposition) one moiety of the home was prepared to accede to the proposal of the government to eater upon the ameidmation of the Franchise Bill on the understanding which subsisted before the second reading—that is to say, the pledge given by the government, that they would introduce into the house, before going into committee on the Franchise Bill, • bill relating to the redistribution of seats, and also bills relating to the subjects of reform in Scotland and Ireland. The other moiety of the house did not declare itself unwil ling to enter upon the consideration of the Franchise Bill but, on the oontrary, acquiesced in the motion, when the second reading became the main question before the house. (Hear, hear.) That moiety of the house, how ever, interposed an important condition, and thought that the amendment proposed by them should be first canal dered with • view that they might be able to understand more clearly the whole intentions of the government upon this question of parliamentary reform. By the term " whole intentions," I understand the intentions of the government with regard to the redistribution of seats. (Hear, hear.) No doubt as collateral to that were to be considered the views of the government with respect to the question of boundaries—(hear, hear)—and the ar rangements for reform in Ireland and Scotland. There fore it would appear, in the position in which we stand, the whole house has agreed upon the taking into consideration the whole question of parlia mentary reform, of course without the smallest prejudice to its judgment when in of that information. I stated in the course of t debate that the government would be very unwilling to quarrel upon any mere question of procedure with those wl.o might be agreed with them in the main object they had in view. Nothing has occurred, and nothing could very well occur, between that time and this to give us further in forma:ion as to any views or wishes of the house, or any part of the house, with respect to question' of procedure. In fact, I think it is obvious that hon. gentlemen whose minds may be open to any further view or plan may naturally be waiting for the production of the government bill with regard to the redistribution of seats. That being so, we come to the conclusion that our present duty is a very simple one. It is to loos no time in producing the plan we shall recommend to the house in respect to the redistribution of seats. (Hear, hear.) That cannot be done on Thursday next, because after the delays that have taken place in regard to the production of the financial statement, it would not be convenient for the course of public business that that statement should be further delayed. (Hear, hear.) But we propose that on Monday next we shall ask leave— postpomng for that purpose the orders of the day—to bring in • bill for the redistribution of seats. (Cheers.) In giving that notice I shall also propose to place for Monday next the committee on the Franchise Bill, not with the view of asking the house to go into committee then, but because I think that before that time we shall not be in a condition to arrive at any clear view with regard to the precise day for asking the Speaker to leave the chair. I have nothing further to say so far as regards the question of parliamentary reform. (Hear, hear.) The house will therefore be good enough to understand that I propose on Thursday next, in committee of ways and means, to make the usual financial statement. And I would venture to make an observation on that subject which is intended entirely for the convenience of the house, with which they will deal as they think fit. The old and regular practice of the house, until quite recently, was this, that after the financial statement an opportunity was given to hon. members of rising in pretty quick succession and putting questions to the minister with respect to any points they thought required further explanation. There was great convenience in that practice, because it enabled gentlemen at once to obtain whatever information they required. Of late years there has been • tendency to substitute a general debate on finance. The consequence is that gentlemen have found it difficult to put questions which, if they had had the opportunity of putting them, would have enabled tho statement to go forth in a more complete and intelligible form. I would very respectfully submit, without any wish to control debate, that it would be for the convenience of the house if, after the financial statement, those who objected were allowed to take the opportunity of putting questions at once. (Hear, hear.) There is also an important subject on which I returned an answer last week to the noble lord the member for North Leicestershire (Lord J. Manners), who asked me whether I was able to decide upon the plan I proposed to submit to the house with respect to church rates. lam not able this day to return an answer to that question, but I hope to be enabled to do so on Thursday, when I may be enabled to indicate a plan for a satisfactory settlement of the question. (Cheers.) Mr. H. BAILLIE asked whether the government in tended to carry on the Franchise Bill and the Redistribu tion Bill together. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished to confine himself to the notice given. He did not think hon. gentlemen would be in a favourable position to form a judgment until the Redistribution Bill had been intro duced. The government did not wish to do anything which would in the slightest degree tend to disagreement. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WHITESIDE wished to know whether the bill, or whatever the government was going to produce—la laught— would deal with both the franchise and the redistribution of sesta in Ireland. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped the bill relating to Ireland, which he trusted would be intro duced on Monday next, would be, so far as the government were concerned, a complete measure. (Lau gh ter and cheers.) Sir L. PALK said be understood the GChaanncellor of the Exchequer to say he would pass the Redistribution Bill pen paean with the other bill. He wished to ask whether the government would give members a sufficient opportu nity to consider the bill relating to the redistribution of seats, and whether government would take the second reading of that bill before they asked the house to go into committee on the Franchise Bill; because it seemed to him to bee matter of vast importance, if they were to have • reform bill, that they should not only have a bill for the redistribution of seats, but also a measure for regulating and defining the boundaries of boroughs before going into committee on the Reform Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped it might be taken for granted that the government would make no attempt to deprive hon. members of due time for considering their course after the government plan for the redistribution of seats had been placed on the table. Sir J. FEROI'SSON begged to ask when the Reform Bill for Scotland would be introduced, and whether the Franchise Bill with regard to Scotland would be read • second time before or after the other parts of the measure. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Reform Bill for Scotland would, he hoped, be introduced on Mondaext by the Lord Advocate. Mr. BO UY ERI E—I wish to say that I think, on the whole, the coarse taken by the government is undoubtedly the right and proper one—(cheersl—because it must be borne in mind, that now that the bill for the reduction of the franchise has been read a second time the whole hones has really agreed upon this principle. The minority which, on Friday night, divided in support of the amendment of the noble lord the member for Chester expressed their desire to coesider a measure of reform which would lead to a settlement of the question, and also a desire to me the .cheese submitted to that house. Both these points are now achieved. (Hear, hear.) The settlement of this question must depend entirely on the bill to be sub mitted to the house, but having no idea what that bill will contain, it is impossible to know whether the two bills will settle or will form • basis for the settlement of this question. lam one of those who on this side of the house, in common with many others support3d the government the other night, but I think t his question ought to be considered as • whole, and that if possible we ought tocome to • settlement. (" Hear," and • laugh.) I gave my support to the government against the amendment of the noble lord because their plan appeared to me the only feasible mode in which we could see some prospect of aiming to • settlement. (Hear, bear.) It is quite clear that if the amendment had been successful, and the govern ment bad gone out of office, and the bill had been lost, we should have been as far from a settlement as ever. I am inclined to agree with what fell from an hon. friend of mine opposite, that no satisfactory settlement of this question could be arrived at without the consent and co operation of some, at any rate, of the gentlemen who sit on the other side of the house. The power' of resistance to any measure of this kind in quiet times like ours are so great, that unless terms of conciliation are held out there is no chance of that resistance being overcome. But I believe it would be to the interest of those gentlemen opposite to come to • reasonable adjustment of this ques tion. I cannot but think that if the measure to be intro duced • week hence is a fair one, and fairly takes into consideration what cannot be neglected, namely, the claims of the landed interest of the country to have some share in the redistribution of seats—l cannot but think that if the question of the redistribution of seats were treated in some such way it might afford, perhaps, a fair basis forsome adjustment and settlement of this great question. Thereat. two grievances with respect to this question, the grievance of the great unrepresented towns and portions of towns — those places which have sprung up chiefly in the north of England, and one or two in the south of England since the last adjustment which have no representation in this house. According to our old fashioned constitution, if the same circumstance had occurred 200 years ago, such places would at once have lied writs sent down to them re questing them toreturn members tothis house. Thereis also • grievance in the counties, which is, that in proportion to their wealth, their taxation, and their population, they are very much less represented than the boroughs (hear, hear)—and I cannot but think that much of the resietence offered by hon. gentlemen opposite to the Franchise Bill has arisen from alarm and uneasiness in supposing that those claims of the landed interest would not meet with a fair consideration unless the whole question came before us. When this question comes as • whole before the house it will be perfectly competent for the house to deal with it as • whole. There is power in this house, which has bean exercised in former times of directing • commit tee to join two bills into one, so that when the house is in possession of the scheme, if it be a good one, or admits of being made a good one by reasonable alteration—tar I apprehend thigovernment are not prepared to stand upon the . . =• verbs in every section and item of the bill7surely i tt abed opportunity for members whoare desirous of obtaining • fair settlement on fair terms, to try if they cannot agree upon the question. (Hear, hear.) I think it all depends upon the spirit in which we and hon. gentle men opposite approach it—a spirit in which they have no ' desire to offer resistance, because a proposition WOWS Lem this side of the house, but from a feeling of regard to the ' public interest, and from the desire they must have in that THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 1, 1866. 1 interest to see this question settled, and from a regard also to their interests as a party, because I cannot conceive any worse position for them to occupy as • party in this country or in this house than that this question should always remain to be a trouble to them whenever they have any chance of obtaining power, that it should be a stick in the hands of the Metal party to thresh them with whenever they come into power. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) I think there is a fund of good sense in this house, which will enable us, when we approach the question in a proper spirit, to come to some settlement. I upraised my opinion in the early part of the session, and I still think, that the government made a great mis take in the mode in which they first approached this sub hect ; but that was a question of judgment on which, per aps, they were as wen able to form an opinion as myself ; but, at any rate, that mistake has been remedied—we are now to have the whole scheme before us, and let us try if we cannot coma to some common understanding upon it, and arrive at some fair settlement. (Hear, hear.) I beg to reeve the adjournment of the home. Mr. H. BAILLIE said he wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Reform Bill for Scotland would be like the Irish bill, a complete measure involving the redistribution of seats as well as the lowering of the franchise ? Let it not be supposed that no redistribution of seats was required in Scotland. There was the county of Sutherland, with only two hundred electors, almost every one of them being the tenants of one individtud. That county might very fairly be united with the county of Caithness, and the member for Sutherlandahhe might very appropriately be given to the city of Glasgow. Mr. WHITE said they had bad much talk about stand ing or falling by the bill. He had thought when the go vernment were in so miserable a majority—although that might have been owing to his ignorance—they would have rengned. (Hear.) The right hon. gentleman the Chan cellor of the Exchequer had in his speech conveyed to his (Mr. White's) mind the impression that if they went into committee on the bill, and the house in its wisdom should agree to an increase on the borough tremblee proposed in the bill, such a resolution would be accepted by the go vernment as fatal to the bill. He wished to know whether this was the case—whether, if the house were to put the borough franchise at Si., the government would consider such a result fatal to the bill. (Hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I under stand standing or falling by the bill to mean this— that as long as the bill stands we stand—if it falls, we fall. (Hear, hear.) But we take the view that the bin still stands. With respect to any alterations of the bill in committee, I did not intend to convey, and I believe I did not convey, anything as to what clauses were important or vital and what were unimportant. That is a matter which I conceived to be entirely out of the province of the short explanation I have just made, and I hope my hon. friend will not draw any inference whatever from it. (Hear, hear.) Captain VIVIAN expressed his full concurrence in the sentiments of the right hon. gentleman the member for Kilmarnock as to the desirability of hon. members on both sides of the house endeavouring to arrive at some satisfac tory settlement of this question. Lord J. MANNERS called the attention of the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the fact that the date fixed for going into committee on the Church Rates Abolition Bill was the Wednesday following the day on which the right hon. gentleman had stated he should ' be prepared to lay before the house the new clauses =tto be added to the bill. He (the noble lord) it a longer period would be allowed for the consi deration of those clauses. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I entirely agree with the noble lord that nothing could be more objectionable than to proceed with the clauses without giving all persons interested in the matter a full oppor tunity of considering their scope and bearing. (Hear.) Mr. O'REILLY called attention to the propriety of ex tending the advantages of the Saturday half holiday to those members of the service which do not yet enjoy it, and asked if the government bad taken any steps in the matter. *parting intelligence. TATTIMIALIA.—MeNDAT. The most Important movements on the Derby since our last return from Knightehridge have been in connexion with Lord Lyon, who on Saturday night wmalmost threatened with absolute " knocking-out" at a well known West-end rendezvous, when as much as lo to 1 was laid, and 3to 1 that be did not run. This hostile demonstration had Its origin In one of the raided canards imaginable, as those who had the temerity to take part In te found to their coat ere this. At the Victoria Club to-day there was still • smouldering feeling of antagonism against Mr. Sutton's horse, for DO sooner had a " ring " formed than a large northern speculator commenced operations by offering to lay 600 to 200, which, however, was accepted twice. The alacrity with which his friends came to the rescue quickly restored confidence in Lord Lyon, and • further transaction of 650 to 200 reinstated him In almost as firm a position as that which be occutz to Satur day, 6 2 belt the extreme to which layers felt to go. At Albert-gate there was hardly anything to choose between him and Rustic, although "the Lyon" was supported for more money . Each had his Moods, and both were "barred" In turn, but at the close of the room 6 to 2 was offered on the field. During the Ches ter meeting Roden gave a foreshadowing of what he would arrive at in the price current, and the confidence reposed in him at " the Club " on Saturday was further increased here to-day, ea, after 1000 to 80 had been accepted several times, be advanced to 10 to 1, taken to E 250. Vsepan had also many select admirers, who religiously believed in the easy manner in which this hone has been able to d is pose of Breadalbane, for they were nothing loth to take 13 to 1, and finally 1000 to 80. Another of the " coming " division is the Bribery colt, a moiety of • commission having been effected in his favour this afternoon at 20 to 1. The Stalker and Blue Riband could not hold their own at 1000 to 95, and had any friends of the Marquis of Hastings' horse been willing even to accept • point more they might have had It. The soccer of Student, which some were Infatuated enough to believe was still on the cards, was placed beyond all doubt by the following notice, which was posted in the subscrip tion room .—" Student was struck out of the Derby at 8 p.m. this day, April 30." Settling on Chester was carried on during the early portion of the afternoon, but in consequence of the "hard hits" received by bookmakers, matters did not proceed am smoothly as could be DERBY. 5 to S mist Mr. R.

Mr. aHILDKRS, while willing to give all credit and ad vantage to the civil service, said that the nature of the public business in some of the departments rendered it impoeale to close the offices early on Saturday ; and that being so, it would not be practicable to adopt the rule in the other departments. In answer to General Dt7 , 114/1, Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that it had not been deter mined whether the Irish militia would be called out this year, but they certainly would not be assembled at present. THE NATIONAL GALLERY. In answer to Mr. BINTIZICK, Mr. COWPER said that a committee of five gentle. men had been appointed to consider, in conjunction with several architects, the design' for the new courts of law. Twelve architects had been selected to compete for the design for the new buildings about to be erected as additions to the National Gallery. THE CIVIL SERVICE ESTIMATES. The house then went into committee on the Civil Service Estimates, commencing with vote 14, 46,0001. for the p urch ase of a site for the enlargement of the National Gallery, which was 'greed to, as were 20,0001. for the London University ; 7,0001. for the Chapter-house, Westminster ; And the remainder of the votes in class 1, with the exception of that for the Natural History Museum, which was postponed. Clan disposed of, and several votes taken in Clam 3, when the house resumed. The Lunacy Acts (Scotland) Amendment Bill was taken in committee. The Hop Trade Bill pealed through committee. LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) LAW. Mr. C. FORTESCUE moved for leave to bring 'm a bill to amend the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland, the object of which is to take away existing restrictions on the improvements of the estates, to make leases available for 31 years for agricultural, and 61 for building purposes. With regard to tenants' improvements it was pro that the tenant should have a legal bene ficial interest in all improvements effected by him self, leaving perfect freedom of contracts between landlord and tenant ; while in case of ejectment a sum should be raid to the tenant, as agreed on with the land lord, and if no agreement could be come to between them, an officer from the office of Public Works should arbitrate in the matter, an appeal from his decision being given to the chairman of quarter sessions. The limitation of amount would be 5/. per acre, and of time 31 years for agricultural, and 61 for building improvements. It was also proposed to take away the right of diet-rem in all cases in which it is not the subject of special agreement between the landlord and tenant. Lord NAAS failed to discover anything new in the bill. All its provisions had been over and over again rejected in both houses, as involving violations of the rights of pro- TV. Colonel OREVILLE said the noble lord forgot that the govenimer. . of Lord Derby had proposed to give compen sation to tenants for improvements made twenty years be fore the passing of the act. In his (Colonel Greville's) opinion, there was throughout the speech of the right hon. gentleman a disposition to do what was right and just towards Ireland, and he was sure the measure proposed would be received in Ireland with the greatest approbation. Mr. WHITEBIDE was surprised to hear from honour able gentlemen that the legislation for England and Ireland was to be conducted upon different principles. But in his opinion there ought to be the same law in both countries, and he warned Irish members that they could not carry through any house of parliament a measure which landlords knew would not be applicable to England. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LAWSON was surprised at the spirit in which the bill had been received by the right hon. gentleman and by the noble lord. (Cheers.) He believed that the bulk of the landlords of Ireland were good ones, and no one could surely object to a bill the purpose of which was to prevent a bad man from doing what a good man would never wish to do. (Cheers.) Mr. GEORGE strongly insisted on the inconveniences that would accrue if no notice of the intended improve ments was given to the landlord. It seemed to him that the result of the bill would be to lead to a general adoption of written contractors. (Cheers.) Mr. SYNAN protested against any attempt at discussing A bill the terms of which were not before the house. As for the act of 1860, not a single case had yet occurred in which the act had been put In force. (Hear, bear.) Mr. SULLIVAN denied that the rights of property in cluded a right to hold land improved, or to confiscate the capital which the tenant had honestly spent upon it. (Hear, hear.) Captain ESMONDE, as a landlord, thanked the govern ment for bringing forward the bill. Mr. MAGUIRE exhorted the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Whiteside) to assist the government in carrying the bill. , Leave was then given. ART UNION LAWS. General DUN. NE (for Lord It. Montagu) nominated the select committee on art union laws as follows :—Lord R. Montagu, Sir M. Beach, Mr. Blake. Mr. Schreiber, Mr. B. Hope, Sir W.

Mr. Wilson, instructed by Mr. Fisher, appeare d for Mr. Firbank, the contractor for the works ; and Mr. Faithful represented the London and South Coast Railway Company. In order that the nature of the occurrence may be understood it is necessary to state that the new line in question—the Peckham and Sutton extension—runs parallel to the main road from Carahalton to Sutton, and that the cutting is made through the solid chalk at a depth of some 50 or 60 feet. A farmers' road at right angles to the Carshalton road, near Cenhalton-hill, crossing the south of the cutting, it was necessary to construct a bridge over it. A bridge of a large span—it is said the span was 80 feet—was accordingly constructed, and to save expense of scaffolding, fie., the chalk was merely cut down, so as to form a support for the centring. When the bri ckwork was laid there was only one foot of span between it and the chalk. Some four or five transverse galleries, about four feet deep, were cut through the top of the chalk, to enable workmen to get at and strike the centring and point the brickwork. The centring was struck on Tuesday last, and the men were in the little galleries pre to point the brickwork on Saturday, when the bridge the fall being of course only one foot. The debris to death all the men in the galleries, with the exception of a man named John White, who fortunately was able to extricate himself from the rubbish which pressed on him. White was the only witness as to the accident that was examined yesterday, and he stated that neither be nor any of his unfortunate comrades bad any appre hension of danger. At first there was a puff of wind, which he distinctly felt, and then the whole bridge came in. He was buried, but he got out and found no I trace of the other,. He ha ll ooed out, and men came in, I and in the course of two hours got them all out of the gal leries quite dead. Voce of the men had been at work with pickaxes, enlarging the galleries, for the bricklayers' labourers to s tand upright in them. It is stated that the cause of the catastrophe was the action of the rain on Sa turday last weakening the abutments, the brickwork of which had not had sufficient time to sat. No evidence, however, has as yet been taken on this point. Dr. W. H. Creasy proved that all the men died from suffocation. Most of them had terrible fractures of the skull. The proceedings were adjourned after the identification of four of the deceased until next Wednesday week. TRADE IN ANIMALS. Mr. B. STANHOPE moved that it be an instruction to the Committee on Trade in Animals, that they inquire how far it is desirable to prevent, restrict, or regulate the slaughter of animals in the metropolis and other populous places, and to report their opinion thereon to the house. tea to. m rose at five minutes before 2.

The Rev. F. B. Parkes, rector of Southwick, forwards the following letter, addressed to the Wed Sussex Gazette, concerning the report which we recently extracted from that paper : Sir,—Your sense of justice and fair play to others will, we are sure, find space for us to answer the account pub lished of the vestry meeting at Southwick. Had Mr. Wil liam Hall confined his groundless and insulting remarks to the meeting (at which, by-the-bye, he was told by one of the churchwardens that none of his charges against the school had a word of truth in them) we could with safety have treated them with silent contempt; but when he has published them to the world we are bound to answer them. It appears to us that he brings five distinct chirps against the school :-1. That the school accounts are improperly kept. 2. That children are Bogged or expelled for not attending the parish church. 3. That a boy named Sheppard told him (Mr. William Hall) in the mas ter's presence, two days before the meeting, that four or six cuts with the cane was the punishment given by the schoolmaster for not being at school on a Sunday before going to church, but if the boys bad been to any dissenting place of worship the Rev. Mr. Parkes punished them him self, and much more severely. 4. That no one attempted to deny Mr. William Hall's statement at the meeting. 5. That a large number of labourers was brought up by the farmers and harbour master, who decided by a triumphant majority to support the rector in these practices. As trustees and managers of the school we have tho roughly investigated these charges, upon uncontrovertible evidence, which enables us to give the following replies: I. That the school accounts are in perfect keeping, and every farthing received duly accounted for. 2. Th at n o child was ever " flogged " or " expelled " for not attend. ing the parish church, but that permission, when asked, is invariably given to the children for absence on a Sunday. 3. That the master never saw the boy Shep pard in Mr. W. Hall's presence ,• and that the Rev. Mr. Parkes never punished a child, directly or indi rectly, for attending " any dissenting place of worship." All we can glean with regard to the lad is, that his mother repeatedly sent to the master, by her daughter, to have him punished at school for his bad behaviour at home. 4. We must refer to Mr. H. Gorringe's statement at the meeting, which we thought a sufficient refutation of Mr. William Hall's statement, and which he " did not attempt to deny." 5. That out of the number of 17 votes tendered by labourers on behalf of Mr. Hardwick., owing to the in accurate way in which the poor-rate book had been managed, not one man could record his vote. Per haps it may not be out of place here to re mark that of the number of parents who have now 112 children in the school, four only voted against Mr. Hard wicke, one of its managers ; that these men are in the em ploy of Mr. Robert Horne Penny, who seconded the no mination of Mr. Mechen as churchwarden ; that these four men, to show the " conscientious principle " upon which they voted, *ant their children twice to church on the fol lowing Sunday ; and that the sum total we annually re ceive, on behalf of the school, from the 37 voters against one of its managers, is the sum of 21.. (Signed)—F. B. Parkes, rector ; W. H. Hardwick. and Hugh Gorringe, church wardens ; Matthew Hassell and William Oarden, overseen of the poor. ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH EMITEHN RAILWAY. —At an early hour on Sunday morning • collision of a serious nature happened to the night express train from Scotland to London. The train in question, which leaves Edinburgh at 10.15 p.m., arrived at Berwick in due course, which station it left at • few minutes after 12 o'clock, on its way to Newcastle and the south. It had only pro ceeded as far as Seri merston station, about three miles south of Berwick, and was just about getting to full speed, when it came in contact with an empty goods waggon which was standing on the same line of rails, no signal of any kind being made to those in charge of the train. The speed at which the train was going was fortunately such that the latter fairly cut through the waggon, not, however, without causing the train itself to run off the line, the result being that it tore up some 25 or 30 yards of rails ere the train was brought to • stand. Several of the passengers were more or less injured —one of them, a Captain Anderson, to so severe an extent that he had to be at once removed to Berwick, and medical aid called in. The remainder of the passengers were able, so soon as the obstruction was removed and the train fairly on the line again, to proceed on their journey.

COURT OF E'XCHEQI7ER.-AIRTL 30. Bittinp in Benoo.—(Before Lord Chief Baron PolLok and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Pigott.) CAVILL AND •NOTHRR V. PRINCE. This case came before the court upon damwrer to plea The action was brought on a deed catered into by a father in-law on the marriage of his . daughter, allowing the hus band 2001. a year ; and the principal plena were the third, all fraud the fourth, setting up the incompetency of che h The argument on the part of the plaintiffs was that such • disability did not make the marriage ipso facto void, and that the marriage could only be rendered void by a sen tence of nullity against it being declared by the Divorce court, and further that the validity of the marriage could only. be questioned on such a ground by one of the parties to it. The Lord Chief Baron—lt has been held by a oomuton law court, but I certainly differed from it toto ocelo, that a woman might insist on a man performing his promise to many her, though he had become impotent. Mr. Baron Bramwell—ln that we the defendant pleaded danger to his life, and he verified his plea by dying before the use could be taken to the House of Lords. The Lord Chief Baron—l have a strong opinion that the view taken on the subjxst of marriage is altogether wrong. I believe that when two people enter into the ordinary con tract to mart', it is always with the implied understand ing that if either of them should fall out of health so sa to make it wrong to marry, the contract should become void. Mr. Baron Martin said that in the case alluded to the defence was that the defendant was suffering from eon• The Lord Chief Baron said that perhaps the contract of marriage was not voidable if all the facts were perfectly well known to both parties before marriage. Mr. Baron Martin said that in order to make the plea good it was necemary to say more than simply that the de fendant was incompetent, and the woman would have to be mentioned in some way. The Court held that the fourth plea was bad ; and as to the third, directed that an application should be made at chambers for particulars as to the alleged fraud. THE POLICE COURTS MANSION-HOUSE. Aral-dressed man, 38 years of age, who gave the name of Louis Deroelte, and who stated that he resided at No. 12, Marlborough-place, Kennington-cross, but was of no occupation, was brought up in custody and charged before la. Alderman Wile= with being concerned (with another man not in custody) with conspiring to defraud Mr. George Giro of the sum of 19/. 10s., by cheating him in pitching a coin so as to stand edgeways on the floor. Mr. Thomas Beard, of /3asingball-street, appeared for the defendant. The prosecutor stated that he was a merchant in Malaga, but was at present staying at Starr's Temperance Hotel, Farringdon-road, Holborn, and that theLrisoner was an en tire stranger to him until ten or twelve ycago, whenthey met cavaally in fit. Paul's-churchyard. The prisoner asked him the entranoe into the cathedral, which the prosecutor pointed out to him. Being both foreigners they entered into conver sation, and the prisoner invited him to his hotel, which he stated to be the hotel at Charing-cross, and gave him his card. They separated, and did not meet again until Friday last, in Holborn, when, on his invitation, they went toge ther to the Royal Hotel, Re h eat-street, where the 7 par took of some refreshments. While there they were joined by another young man, also a foreigner, of very gentle manly appearance and demeanour. It was evident that the prisoner and this young man were well acquainted with each other. The latter said he had come to Eng land to receive a large sum of money which had been left him by his uncle, and he produced a bundle of Bank of England notes to the amount of 200 E, which he stated he had just received on account from the Bank. He further stated that on the previous day he had been at the Argyll Rooms with some officers, and bad seen a large sum of money won by a person diming or throwing a coin on to the floor so as to stand up geivays, and he said be could do so. The prisoner said he much doubted it, and after some bantering the prosecutor was induced to accompany them to Marioni's Refreshment Rooms, No. 109, Upper Thames-street. There the prisoner asked if they could be obliged with a private room, which was ac corded them, and thither they went. On reaching the room the young man handed to the prisoner the roll of Bank notes he had before produoed, in order, ashe said, that both of them might be saed as to his respectability, and then he offered to take a bet that he would throw the coin so as to stand edgeways on the floor once in fifty throws. The prosecutor offered to bet him a sovereign, but the young man said he would not attempt the feat for a less bet than 201., upon which the prisoner said he had 70/. or 80/. with him, and urged the prosecutor to put down another 201., so that the bet would be for their 1001. against the young man's 100/. I At length the prosecutor consented, and went to his hotel, accompanied by the prisoner, to procure the money, which the prisoner saw him take out of his portmanteau. They then returned in a cab to Marioni's Booms and rejoined the young man, and the bet was made. The young man turned up the hearth-rug in the private room in which they had before assembled. The prosecutor on the way had handed over 191. lO• to the prisoner, to make up his (pro secutor's) share of the bet. The young man then com menced to throw the coin (a Spanish gold 16 dollar piece) to the floor, and at the thirty-second throw the coin stood on the floor upright, but rather in a slanting direction. The prisoner, turning to the prosecutor, said they had lost, but the prosecutor having noticed when the young man for the last time took up the coin that a sharp point like • pin stuck out from one side of it, said it was not fair. The prisoner, however, replied that it was all right, and both rushed out of the room in an instant, carrying all the money with him and the prose cutor did not see the prisoner again until he found him in custody, when the prisoner offered him the money he had about him to let him go, and stated that money to be 11 sovereigns and 6 twenty-franc pieces, making altogether about 171. This the prosecutor refused to do. Inspector Foulger applied for a remand for further in quiries. Mr. Alderman Wilson granted the application, and re manded the prisoner fora week. GUILDHALL. Arthur Ricketts, a very respectable-looking middle-aged man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Waterlow, charged with embezzling the sum of 1,2001., the monies of Messrs. Walton and East, wine merchants, of London. Mr. Humphreys, jun. of Nov/gate-street, appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. Lewis Lewis, of Sly-place, for the prisoner. Mr. Humphreys said the prisoner was the traveller for his clients, Marra. Walton and East, wine merchants, carrying on business at No. 21, Victoria-street, Holborn bridge, and the prisoner resided in Birmingham. He had a eatery of 5001. a year, which included travelling expenses. It was his duty to obtain orders and forward them to his employers and when they were executed to collect the money and transmit it to the prosecutors, which he was in the habit of doing weekly by a cheque on his own bankers. The last two cheques had however, been dishonoured, and on the 25th April the 11 , rm received a letter written by the prisoner, in which he confessed that he bad used money of his employers to the amount of 1,2001., and implored their forgiveness. . . . . . Hr. Lewis said he should not put any questions to the witnesses at present. In consequence of the manner in which the money had been paid into the prisoner's bank, and his cheques forwarded to the prosecutors, in payment of the money received, there was some legal doubt as to whether the charge of embezzlement could technically be established ; but he was desired by the prisoner to state that he wished to give the prosecutors every information in his power. As there was some legal doubt in the mat ter, perhaps the worthy alderman would feel disposed to take bail. He did not think Mr. Humphreys would object to that course. Mr. Humphreys said he would rather bold his tongue about it, and let the magistrate do as he thought right with it. Alderman Waterlow mid that on the evidence before him he could not take boil The prisoner, who seemed to feel his position acutely, was then remanded. TEN MIII.DIN 07 • POLICINAN IN DUBLIN. —The Dublin Daily Express gives parUculars of this occurrence, which we briefly announced yesterda . At • narter pest 12 o'clock on Saturday night pole Charles O'Neill, 49 D, was cruelly murdered in Pill-lane in this city. It appears thates the deceased, while on duty, was gouog to the assistance of some female who had been call or the police, he met • civilian and two soldiers, said to belong to the Artillery, running down the lane in the direction in which he was going. The civilian, on approaching the constable, fired • p istol at him, and the ball entered the abdomen. , how ever, that his victim was not disabled, he fired, and wounded him in the stomach, and then, in com pany with his comrades, ran away. The deceased, although mortally wounded, followed them for a short dis tance, and expired, calling out " Stop the murderer !" A girl, who bad been in the lane at the tune, states that she heard one of the three men ssy, after the shots had been fired, " Kearney, you have shot the man ;" and • beer house keeper, named Doyle, who had called the polioe, alleges that a blacksmith, named Richard Kearney, had presented • revolver at her before she called. Kearney is well known to the police, and had been prosecuted for tearing down a proclamation offering • re ward for Stephens. Pp to the present, however, no arrest has been made, but the detectives speak confidently of their being shortly able to arrest the supposed murderer. On Saturday night an attempt was ale. made to drown • constable of the E division in the Royal Canal. The constable bad been on dirty, and hear ing some persons tearing down gates, and throwing them into the river at Rialto-bridge, he proceeded in the direc tion of the noise. When he got on the bridge he was savagely attacked by 12 or 14 persons, who endleavoured to throw him into the canal. Being • young athletic man, however, he kept his assailants at bay till some persons came to his assistance, and then grappled with two of the fellows, and arrested them, while the others swam to the opposite side of the river.
