4 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY, JULY 13. Their lordships met at five o'clock. UNY'Re FACTORY LABOURIERS. The Earl of BFIAFTESBURY wished to ask the First Lard of the Treasury a question of which he had given Id= notice. It was whe th er there was any intention on the part of the government of bringing in a bill for the purpose of placing certain trades and occupations now =protected under the operation of the Factory Act. The Fart of DERBY fully admitted the importance of the subject. Immediately on receiving the communication of his noble friend he had sent to the Home-office to in quire, and had learned that there was a bill there in pre paration, but in so imperfect a state as to render it impos sible to bring it forward dun the present session ; the esibject, however, fully ei the attention of his right bon. friend the Secretary or the Home Deportment, who fully felt its importance, but who believed that maa harm then good would be done by dealing with the question in a mapiiste manner. The subject should be most care fully considered during the approaching recess, and he mould may for himself and his colleagues that the success of fernier measures for the curtailment of the hours of labour would stimulate them to attempt further humane legisla tion in the same direction. BREECH-LOADERS. ----- Earl DE GREY wished to ask a question of which he I had given notice on a question of much importance, and i which was of • l interest at the present moment. 4 What he wanted to know wee the • position of the 1 question of the supply of breech - 1 ers to the army. The Earl of LONGFORD said that two years ago the government then in office had resolved on supplying the army with breech-loaders, and suspended the manufacture of all other description of arms. Their choice lay between 1 an entirely new arm and the conversion of the old ones, and they determined, as he thought wisely, on conversion. They succeeded after a course of experiments, which 1 eertainly were not very quickly conducted, being Bur rounded with difficulties, in obtaining what he believed to be an excellent arm, carrying its own ignition. The expense of conversion was about one pound per gun, and would probably be less when the machinery was more complete. The trade price was a little higher. There were 600,000 stand of arms capable of conversion, and arrangements bad been made to have 40,000 ready by the end of the military year, in March next. At the time when that arrangement was made we had what was deemed to be a very good arm, and the circumstances of the time were not considered to be urgent. Since then. how ever, circumstances had become more urgent, and them fore when the present government came into office they made arrangements for increasing the supply to 150,000—(hear, hear)—partly from the government factory, and partly by entering into a considerable contract with the trade in Birmingham. (Hear, hear.) After the 31st of March next the facilities for conversion would be very much increased. There had been some expressions of im pitience at the time which had been occupied in trials, but be hoped that neither the present government nor its pre decessors had neglected the subject. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE wished to endorse what had been said by the noble earl near him. He had been in con 'dant communication with successive secretaries of state as to the state and condition of arms for the troops. The question had in fact long attracted the attention of her i Majesty's government, and the only delay hail arisen hi consequence of the anxiety that there should be no mia take in the sort of arm adopted. (Hear, hear.) That might seem a very simple matter to arrive at, but if their lordships knew all the difficulties with which the question was surrounded they would see the absolute necessity of caution. He must now say a word on a subject which was in everybody's mouth, namely, the Zundnadel- Gewehr, or needle-gun. He believed that so far as breech loading was concerned, it was far from being the best breech-loader ; he believed that the least good breech loader we bad was better as a breech-loader than the needle gnn ; yet that the Zundnadel-Gewehr was better than any muzzle-loaderwas proved by recent events vrith which e very one was acquainted. It was well that this should b.: known, else it might go forth that the converted gun was not so good as the needle-gun of which they heard so much. It should be knows that the generality of breech-loaders we now had were much superior to the special arm with which the Prussian army was provided. The Earl of DALHOUSIE wished to make one sugges tion. He quite approved of the course which the govern ment had taken, but still it was quite evident that it must be only a temporary arrangement. It was quite evident to any one who examined the Snide!. gun, that great im provements might yet be made. A committee known by the name of the Ordnance Committee had been appointed. It was well worthy the consideration of the Secretary of State for War whether he should not establish a com mittee separated from the Ordnance Committee, and that should direct its attention to the fabrication of small anus. lie thought that that committee should consist of officers of regiments who had obtained the highest marks of merit, and that there should be associated with them gentlemen ill private life who had given their attention meet to all inventions appertaining to breech loading arms. He felt quite sure that his right hon. and gallant friend the Secretary for War would not leave tiny means untried in reference to this question. The subject then dropped. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed Laugharne Railway, Rhyinney Railway, Kingabridge Railway, Devon `'alley and North Rritish Railway Companies (Arrangements), Redford and Northampton Railway, Gmat Yarmouth Fiah Wharves and Tr unways, l'eterbOiough, Wisbeach, and Sutton Raiiway, and Sotuerki sad Dorset Railway Bills. THE COLONIAL CHURCH. The MAN) of LONDON, on the part of the Archbishop of York, undertook, if the Colonial Bishopric 11111 of the late government was not passed, to withdraw a motion which stood for a select committee to consider the peti• tion of Miss Burdett Coutts in reference to the colonial bishoprics which she had endowed ; bat if the bill was proceeded with it would be necessary to go on with the motion. Lord ST. LEONARDS moved for copies of all document and correspondence and acts of colonial legislatures relat ing to the endowment by Miss Burdett Colitis of several colonial bishoprics, with a view to show under whose authority and on what trust and conditions, and for whose benefit the money was advanced, and contended tlmt sinless the conditions on which it was advanced were can tied out, she was entitled to repayment of her money. The Duke of ARGYLL said that it was premature to discuss the subject, as the question of the status of colonial bishops was before the courts. He was of opinion that the late derision of the Privy Council was effectually to sever all connexion between the imperial government and colo nial bishops, whatever might be the ease in reference to the established church. The discussion was continued by Lord Lyveden, the Earl of Carnarvon (who stated that it was not intended to proc,ed with the Colonial Bishoprics Bill). I.y the Bishop of Oxford, and the Earl of Harrowby, and the motion was withdrawn. I AroIMMO ttV4P e The Bishop of LoNnoN obtained a return giving very full statistics of the colonial bishoprics and their appoint ments. The Crown Linda Bill and the Grand Juries Present ment Bill passed through committee. The National Gallery Enlargement Bill and the Carriage and Deposit of Dangerous Goods Bill were read a second time. The Law of Capital Punishment Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. The house adjourned at half-past 8. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER IN BUCKINGHAMSHIRE The election of a member for the county of Buckinghamshire, following the soceptance of office, a+ Chancellcr of the Exchequer, by Mr. Disraeli, took place yesterday in the Countyhall, Aylesbury. The room was well filled ; but beyond the applause which greeted the right hon. gentleman, there were no marked demonstra tions. The reelection was conducted without opposition, nor was there a single question asked of the right hon. candidate. Mr. Disraeli was nominated by Mr. T. T. Drake ; the proposition was seconded by Mr. Dauncey ; and no other candidate being forthcoming, the High Sheriff, Mr. H. A. Hosrc, declared the Right Hon. B. Disraeli duly elected. Mr. DISRAELI, in returning thanks, alluded to the state of the Continent, observing that with regard to the ;mines now at stake and calling for solution, there was no neces silty for the interference of this country. He knew there were some who looked upon such a doctrine as one which would intimate on the part of England some decline of her former pryer and influence, but he thought they formed this opinion under very erroneous circumstances. He (Mr. Disraeli) took quite a different view, and looked upon the abstention of England from unnecessary interference in the affairs of Europe to be the consequence, not of her decline, but of her in ere ised strength. She had outgrown the position of being merely a European power, and was the metropolis of a great maritime empire, extending to the boundaries of the farthest ocean. He did not say that there might not be occasions in which it was the duty of England to interfere. If the country were menaced, as on pre vious occasions it had been, England would not rest until the cause of the danger and disturbance was terminated. But no one, whatever his politics, could entertain the idea that she was menaced at this moment. It was im poseible to watch the proceedings on the Continent with out great interest, but it was clearly the best course to allow those great nations and powerful states hem.- diately interested in the war to go on with it themselves, and when an occasion offered the influence of England might be thrown into the scale to settle the matter in a peaceful manner. Our relations with our allies, though they might not agree among themselves, were never more friendly or confidential than at the present moment, and he hoped the time would soon arrive when a aongrea of the cent powers would be called together. Mr. Disraeli this TEE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 14, 1866. expensed great gratification at the good feeling which subsisted between this country and America, recently de monstrated by the conduct of the sister nation towards the Fenian. This naturally brought him to Ireland, from whose shores he regretted the vast tide of emigration that was taking place. He hoped the government would find means to introduce measures with respect to Ireland, the general tendency of which would be to check that tide of emigration. The present rate of Bank interest he traced to the system of speculative commerce recently indulged in, thus setting afloat an enormous quantity of commer ciel paper, and causing a larger demand for bullion. While this strain was going on it was totally impossible that we should look for a reduction in the rate of interest, and they might rest smeared that there was no legislative means by which they could arti ficially settle it at any time. I read very often (continued the right hon. gentleman) that the subject of parliamentary reform lathe great difficulty of the present ministry, and will be their stumbling block. lam quite of a different opinion. (Laughter.) I see no difficulty in the subject at all, and if we stumble, rest assured we shall not stumble over the subject of parliamentary reform. (A laugh.) If parliamentary reform is to be dealt with, I consider the present government have as good a right to deal with it as any body of statesmen in existence. (Hear, hear.) The great reform bill of 1832 was mainly devised by Lord Derby, and was entirely carried by his energy ; and with regard to the only measure since the great reform bill that is ever mentioned with re vect, I myself brought it in. (Laughter and cheers.) During the present campaign in the House Commons, I have seen that every division that took place, and every strong manifestation of opinion, ratified the principles upon which the bill of 1859 was founded. (Hear.) Night after night sitting in the house I listened to gentlemen sitting opposite—distinguished liberals of all hues—who scarcely with an exception rose, and in a tone of coutteous penitence publicly avowed how much they regretted voting against that bill of 1859. (Loud laughter.) I want to know, under such circum stances, what is to prevent us, if the question is to be dealt with, dealing with it in as efficient a manner as any other body of public men ? We must understand it at least better than some who have taken it np--(laughter)—there. fore I cannot at all agree that the subject of par liamentary reform is a source of trouble to the present ministry, or will be one of the causes of their downfall, if it ever occur. (laughter and cheers.) Having said this, I will tell you frankly I am not going to give any pledge on the part of her Majesty's government that we intend to deal with parliamentary re form when parliament meets next year. (Cheers.) We hold ourselves perfectly free to do that which is best for the country. Ido not see any very great downcast of dis consolate faces in consequence of the announcement. (Laughter.) At the same time, it was my duty to make it, and rest assured if we consider the subject at any time, we shall deal with it in the spirit of the English constitution ; we shall not attempt to fashion and remodel the institu tions of this country upon any foreign ty whatever, whether it be American or French. (Cheers.) pe I attribute the failure of the late government upon the question to the confusion of ideas that prevailed among them as to the very principles upon which they ought to legislate. It was impossible clearly to understand whether their mea sure was founded on the rights of man or rights of num bers ; but we who opposed their views slid not recognise that the rights of men should prevail in our legislation, or that a numerical majority should dictate to an ancient nation of various political orders and classes. (Cheers.) What we want to see, when any increase in the electoral consti tuencies of the country takes place, is that it should be in unison with the constitution of the country; what we wish to see is that the electoral power should be deposited with the best men of all classes. That is the principle upon which, if upon, we shall propose to legislate. (Cheers.) I have now to thank you for the honour you have done me to-day in returning me for the eighth time to the House of Com mons as member for the county of Buckingham shire. It is a great honour, and I deeply feel it. I believe that I ant the only member for that county who has been returnad eight times, and I hope, though I trust and believe the present parliament will be a very long one —(a laugh)—tolivetobe returned, I will not sayeight times more, but to give you frequent opportunities of showing to me that I continue to possess your confidence. (Cheers.) I can tell you it is not a mere expression of words when I use those terms. It is a very great thing in the strife and struggles of political life on questions that perplex coun cils and nations, to feel that you are backed by your own county, and that you can rely upon the confidence and the syuipathy of an ancient, considerable, and honoured district of a country like England. I have felt that advantage through your favour now for nearly twenty years, and I attribute what progress I have made in public life, and what position I have at tained, primarily, and almost entirely, to your friendship and trust. I need not say under such circumstances I shall do my best to attempt to merit your con fi dence and friendship. What may be the fortune of Lord Derby's government it is not for me to try to predict, but I may say that, called upon by his sovereign in the spirit of the constitution to form a ministry, he has laid before her Majesty the names of men wbo are entitled to the respect of England. (Cheers.) There is before us an opportu nity of effecting litany changes that would be most ad vantageous to the country. There are many great di visions in our legislation which are at present void, and many subjects calling for consideration. I will not enlarge upon them on the present occasion. They are subjects that have been forgotten in that fac titious state of political excitement which it has been the interest of a few individuals to stimulate of late years in this country. (Laughter.) I believe in deeply pondering e t ion all that has occurred, and watching with a shrewd vigilance peculiar to this country all that has happened, I feel that the time has arrived when it becomes the ad ministration of this country and its legislature to give their best thoughts, must earnest consideration, and most active efforts, to measures which will generally ame liorate the condition of society and extend the blessings of civilisation to every part of the world. (Cheers.) There are several subjects calling for our almost instant attention. The revelations that have taken place respecting the poor-law infirmaries in London have called forth a feeling of universal horror. (Cheers.) Ent that is only part of a great subject, and it will be necessary to consider how far we can improve the general administration, not only of that, but other branches of the government of the great metropolis. This alone is a question which will demand the utmost labour and gravest thought. There are other questions con nected with the administration of the law, such, for instance, as the law of bankruptcy. That can no longer he delayed, and it must be dealt with in a large and com plete spirit. (Hear, hear.) Other matters of a similar nature require also almoat immediate consideration, and my opinion is. if parliament takes up these questions, it will lay some foundation fora claim to the respect of the country. I am far front wishing that its time should be employed in were discussions as to the best principles upon which political power should be distributed, unless those who undertake the office can go forward with the certainty that they can carry measures which will give satisfaction to men of a temperate and rational spirit, and strengthen our ex isting institutions. We are taunted sometimes with not having a policy, and persons who say that are generally eccentric individuals, who are peculiarly interested in some particular fantastic scheme, in which they think are in volved anti invested all the causes of national prosperity and popular greatness. (Laughter.) Ido not pretend to have a policy, if that is a definition of one ; but to our own mind our policy is definite and distinct. (Hear, hear.) It is to uphold our constitution in church and state ; to bring in all those measures sod pursue in every respect that policy that will secure a continuance of pros perity and peace. (Cheers.) That appears to me to be a policy which should be pursued by an English ministry, and if it be punned in spirit and in truth it will entitle them to, and obtain for them the confidence and respect of their fellow countrymen. I thank you most earnestly for the great honour you have done me this day in re-electing me again your member in the House of Commons, and thereby publicly ratifying the choice of your Sovereign. (Loud cheers.) A vote of thanks to the Sheriff, proposed by Mr. Disraeli, concluded the proceedings. SUFFOLK (EAST). The elevation of Sir F. Kelly, M.P., to the judicial bench, in the room of Chief Baron Pollock, re signed, will create a vacancy in the representation of this division. Another vacancy is also likely to arise in con sequence of the elevation of Lord Henniker, M.P., to the peerage of the United Ki ng dom. Whether the conserva tive party will be permitted to fill up these seats without oppositionlbs not yet fully decided, but a meeting of some of the leading conservative electors was held at Ipswich on Thursday. Lord Henniker came down specially for the purpose of attending the meeting, and it is understood that two gentlemen who were present were adopted as candi dates in the conservative interest. The names, however, of these gentlemen have not yet been permitted to trans pire. The division was last contested in March, 1859, when Colonel Adair appeared as a liberal candidate, and fought Sir F. Kelly and Lord Henniker single-handed. The poll left Colonel Adair in a minority of several hundreds, and at the general election last year the gallant officer did not again present himself to the electors. The John Buff of this morning understands that the conservative candidates will be the Hon. John Henniker and Sir Edward Kerrison, th present menthol for Eye. ESSEX (NORTH). No opposition is likely to be offered in this division to the re-election of Mr. Du Cane, appointed one of the Lords of the Admiralty. EAST KENT. We learn by telegraph that at a meeting of Sir Edward Dering's late supporters, held at St. James's hall. Canterbury, last night, Lieutenant-Gencral Williams in the chair, a resolution was passed unanimously declar ing Sir Edward to be no longer worthy of the confidence of the electors, and expressing a determination not to sup port him again. BELFAST. BELFAST, FIIDAT NTGAT. Sir Hugh Cairns was re-elected to-day without opposition. In the course of his address to the electors, he referred to the Reform Bill of the late government, which be considered an incomplete and immature measure. He condemned the course pursued by the late govern most la reference to the Queen's University. KO) intelligence. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. I JULY 13. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) WIGHT e. WIGHT, MILD AND PI TAD.—PAIST HEARD. This morning Sir R. Collier addressed the jury for Mrs. Wight, Mr. Serjeant Itallantine for Dr. Field, and Mr. gerrant Atkinson for Mr. Adolphus Field, all of them dwelling long and forcibly on the importance of the result to their clients, and on the exceedingly slight and unsa tisfactory evidence upon which the charges of the peti tioner rested. Sir J. Wilde having summed up, The jury retired at three o'clock, and at six they said the 7 were of opinion that there was no proof of adultery against Mr. Adolphus Field, but that they could not agree as to the issues relating to the other co-respondent. A verdict was therefore entered for Mr. Field, and the jury was discharged as to the other part of the case. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. ALIDLAND CIRCIIIT.-LEICESTER:JULY 12. The Lord Chief Justice Erie arrived here yesterday, and opened the commission for the county and borough of Leicester. In consequence of the resignation of Sir Frederick Pollock, and the appointment of Sir Fitzroy Kelly, as cliff of the Court of Exchequer, it has been necessary to alter the commissions for this circuit, and it is understood that the new Chief Boron will make his first appearance at Northampton. In his absence, Mr. Serjeant Tozer sat for a short time and triad sonic of the county prisoners to-day. There were only nine prisoners for trial, and one cause, which was undefended. Mr. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Palmer appeared for the plaintiff, for whom the jury found a verdict. CROWN Cousr.-- (Before the Lord Chief Justice Erle.) Matthew Bennett, described in the calendar as a bone setter, waa charged with the manslaughter of James Sl t . appeared from the statement of Mr. Metcalfe, who ap pearedfor the prosecution, that the deceased bad dislo cated his shoulder, and the medical men who attended him having failed to set it, the bones grew to gether in an improper manner. More than four months after the accident the deceased went to the prisoner, who is not a qualified medical man, but practises as a bone setter. The prisoner put the de ceased on the floor, and told the landlord of the public-house where be practised that Le should want him and three or four strong men. Four of them then pulled at the de ceased's arms, but not succeeding in pulling the bone in, the prisoner said he must have more atrengtb, and seven men tried, but also failed. The prisoner then said he must have still more strength, and the deceased ex pressing himself as willing to try again, between 12 and 16 men pulled at him under the direction of the prisoner for seven or eight minutes, till they were stopped by de ceased's son. Deceased, in answer to his son, said that he was very bad, and never spoke again. He seemed to go otf to sleep, and after being left where he was for about an hour he was taken up to a bed and very shortly afterwards (lied. It did not appear that the prisoner was told how long a time had intervened since the accident, and the son stated that hie father had told him not to inform the prisoner. Two medical men were called, who give it as their opinion that it would be improper to use 12 men to pull an arm in ; and on the other hand a witness was called by Mr. Merewether (who appeared for the prisoner), and stated that the doctors having failed to set his arm he went to the prisoner, who set 10 men to pull at each arm, and succeeded in setting it. His lordship, in summing up, told the jury that the only question for them to decide was whether the prisoner had been guilty of gross rashness in the application of what was intended to be a remedy. If a qualified man, placed in a trying emergency, used the best of his skill, no one would tolerate the notion that he should be liable be cause death ensued ; but if the jury were of opinion that the prisoner had shown gross ignorance and want of skill in applying such a quantity of force, he would be guilty of manslaughter. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and on their return into court after a quarter of an hour's absence, found the prisoner Guilty. His lordship, in passing sentence, said that the prisoner appeared to be a man much respected, and he should wish to avoid the degradation of sending him to prison, but this was &serious case, and could not be lightly passed over. The sentence was that the prisoner be fined 50/., and that he be imprisoned for 6 months unless he paid it, but as he might not be in a position to do so at present, his recog nizauces would be enlarged till the next gaol delivery. The prisoner was then discharged, and will doubtless pay the f.O/. before the next assizes. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—OxsonD, .11 - Lir 13. (Before Mr. Justice Shee.) Samuel Norcutt, 40, labourer, was charged with unlaw fully killing and slaying Jeniima Norcutt, his wife, at on the' .sth of March last. Mr. Rowden prosecuted ; and Mr. Sawyer defended. The facts of the case were simply these. On the even ing of Sunday, the With of March, the prisoner and his wife had been drinking at a public-house until they were both tipsy, and were seen on their way home rolling about the road. The prisoner had a white stick in his hand with which he was seen by several witnesses to beat his wife until she was exhausted and fell down on the road, where she died. On an examination of the body two or three severe wounds were found on the deceased, either of which would have been sufficient to cause death, and the medical evidence showed that those wounds might have been caused by a blunt instrument like a stick with a knob, and were not likely to be produced by the woman falling on the road, even though in a state of intoxication, which was the line of defence taken by the counsel for the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty„ and the judge. in passing sentence, said he could not conceive how the jury could come to any other conclusion. The prisoner, who was gardener to Lord Camoys, was then sentenced to seven years' penal servitude. is F. Marshall, 3, Park-toad, Peckham.—Your obedient servant, 8.F.8. " N. B.—Haring found several tickets in my nephew's pockets is the cause of my addressing you, as I have reason to believe that hundreds of other lads are weekly pur chasers of simile: ticket!. "To the Hon. 0. E. Norton." Inclosed in the above note was a printed advertisement, of which the following is a copy, headed—" Drawn on the 26th. Notice—All persons who wish to join Fred.

First prise, 1001.; second, 50/.; third, 251.;251. amongst the starters. 3, Park.road, Peckham." On receiving the above the magistrate forwarded it to the superintendent of the P division, in whose district Park-road is situated, with a request that the necessary inquiries should be made, and the result reported to him. Yesterday Inspector (ledges the officer entrusted with the inquiry, reported to Mr. Norton that on applying at the house, No. 3, Park-road, Peckham, he ascertained that a person named Marshall formerly kept it, but did not live there now, and that letters addressed there were by his request detained at the Post-office, Park-road, until called for by him, or at least the person described in the advertisement as Marshall. The inspector added that CM the eve of all large races similar advertisements appeared in the sporting papers from the same party. Mr. Norton remarked that there could 'be no doubt that such a practice was most improper and illegal, and in tended for the commission of fraud, and hoped that the pod-office did not lend itself to such improper proceeding. Ile (Mr. Norton) hoped the inspector would continue his inquiries, and if he could discover Mr. F. Marshall, and make out a case against him he should lend every assis tance in his power to bring him to justice, and put a stop to a practice which bore all the appearance of fraud and deception. The inspector promised to do everything in him power, and there the matter ended. THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A PHYSICIAR'S WIFE AT BRIGHTON. Yesterday afternoon the Brighton borough coroner (Daniel Black, Esq.) resumed the adjourned in quest on the body of Mrs. Ellen Vivian Warder ' wife of Dr. Alfred William Warder, who has, since the death of his wife, committed suicide, and whose remains had been buried the previous night, under the finding of fele de se. We may add that the unfortunate man was deposited in the earth, in consecrated ground, at the Brighton Ceme tery, about half-past ten at night. There were with the hearse, besides the undertaker's men, two or three police men, the light from whose " bull's-eyes " enabled the coffin to be lowered decently by the gravediggers. There were from 150 to 200 persons present at the interment. The plate on the coffin bore the plain inscription, " A. W. Warder, 1866." Not a word was spoken as the remains were being removed from the hearse and de posited in the grave, but as the earth and chalk was shovelled upon the rough shell the bystanders found their tongues, and the circumstances and consequences of this extraordinary tragedy were discussed with more or less warmth and volubility. Mrs. Ann Elliott Branwell, wife of Mr. R. Branwell, deposed to frequently calling upon deceased during her stay in Brighton. Dr. Warder was always there when she called, except on two occasions, when he left her alone with Mrs. Warder for a time. Latterly deceased took scarcely anything. Witness remarked and complained of this, but Dr. Warder said everything she took made her sick. He always gave the explanations, and invariably made that answer. On the Friday before her death deceased was very sick. On the Thursday deceased was alone when witness called. She was lying on the bed ; her eyes were quite closed, and the first impression witness received was that she was dead. Soon after the lid of her right eye was violently drawn up, exposing the whole of the ball of the:eye, and in another moment her mouth was drawn down, first on one side and then on the other. Dr. Warder then came in (he was out at first). He said she was not asleep, and went round the bed and spoke to her, and she then rose up. He said she had been much worse since Monday, the last day any of the family had seen her. Witness asked him why he did not send for her brother when she was worse. He merely shrugged his shoulders, and said Dr. Taaffe was in attendance. By Mr. Stuckey :—I constantly complained to Dr. Warder of her having been kept so low. He replied that she could not keep anything down, and that food gave her pain. Several times when I was going out of the house he said, "Oh, she is sinking." He said that on the Friday before her death. I took on myself to order her some jellies from a confectioner's. She eat those while I was with her, and enjoyed them very much. I also had some made in the house. Dr. Warder's previous wife was, I believe, a Madame Valeril. My sister-in-law told me of the previous wife's life having been insured. There has been an anonymous letter sent to us, stating my sister-in-law's life was insured ; but it gave no parti culars. The letter was received after her death. By the Jury—She enjoyed good health before she was married. I have heard ber say she never was once ill till this time. The jelly that I saw her eat remained on her stomach while I was there. . . ..... fly Mr. Stuckey—The one illness before this which she alluded to was in London after her marriage. Miss Jane Vivian liranwell said that on the 27th of April last she saw her sister in London. Her sister was then ill. She told witness she was suffering from irrita tion of the bladder, which came on in attacks, the first attack being more violent than the succeeding ones. She said it was not continuous pain. She said her husband said he supposed it vrould wear itself out. Witness saw her sister ou the Saturday morning before she died. Her sister then got out of bed quickly, helped to dress herself, and walked from one room to the other, without assistance. She vomited after taking her medicine. She complained of a salt taste in her mouth, and she was continually either drinking water or rinsing out her mouth, On Saturday night witness was with her sister from 8 till 10 o'olock. She then seemed weak, but appeared more like a person recovering from a bilious attack and who wished to be left quiet. Her sister was not sick while she was there. . . _ By Dir. Stuckey—l recollect my sister saying in London. "It is but the one thought of my life that this is the same illness as poor Annie died of. ' Annie was the name of Dr. Warder's previous wife. She did not tell me in London what medicine he was giving her ; but she once took up a small phial in her bedroom and said, " This aconite, a most deadly poison. I would not touch it for the life of me, but he drops it for me." Certainly there was nothing in her appearance on Saturday night to lead me to think that she was so near her end. She was a healthy person until after she was married. I bad not the faintest idea of her marriage till she had married Dr. Warder. The reason given by my sister was that the doctor wait very desirous that his friends and the friends of Madame de Valerie should not know of it till Mid summer. The Coroner said he did not see how this evidence affected the present inquiry. Mr. Stuckey said that probably something would turn upon it. His first wife died in 18413, his second in 114)5, and his third in 1566, and the friends of his first wife were never made acquainted with his second and third mar riages. He had even received a letter from Dr. Warder's solicitor in Derbyshire, saying that he (tke solicitor) did not know that Dr. Warder had married again. The Coroner said that neither did the clergyman with whom the son of Dr. Warder had been placed, and who had been here to-day. He still, however, did not see what that had to do with this inquiry. Mr. Stuckey said he would not then press the point, though possibly something might turn upon it hereafter. The inquest was then adjourned till Monday next, when Professor Taylor and Dr. Wilkes will be in attendance, and will report the result of their analysis of Mrs. Warder's intestines. FENIANTSM AT WooLwieu. —At the Woolvrich police-court yesterday, Thomas Farrell, 30, and Michael Butler, 53, were placed at the bar, charged under the Mutiny Act with persuading and aiding soldiers of the Royal Artillery to desert. From the evidence it appeared both prisoners had just served a term of imprisonment at Clerkenwell for a similar offence, and that about seven months since the prisoner Farrell came to Woolwich and en tered into conversation with a gunner of Royal Artillery whose name was also Farrell, and to whom he stated that he was a Fenian agent, andwould handsomely pay any soldiers who would desert and proceed to Ireland to drill the people, and aid the Fenianmovement. After visiting various public-houses with the prisoner, the gunner Farrell, with four other soldiers, proceeded with Farrell to London, and were taken to the house of Butler, at Whitechapel, where they exchanged their uniforms for other clothing, and sub sequently went by steam-vessel to Ireland, the prisoner Farrell paying the passage expenses, and giving each man a sum of money. On arriving in Ireland, the gunner, Far rell, who up to the time of his embarkation had been in a drunken condition, repented of the step he had taken, and hastened back to Woolwich, where he gave himself up as • deserter, and afforded such infor mation as led to the apprehension of the prisoners. It was also proved that the house of the prisoner Butler was searched and several articles of artillery clothing found. The prisoners were remanded for additional evidence. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. The weekly meeting of the board was held yesterday, at their offices, Spring-gardens ; Sir John Thwaites in the chair. A deputation attended from the Plumstead Dis trict Board of Works, to present a memorial relative to the preservation of Plumstead and Botol Commons from incroachment and inclosure. The subject was referred to the Works and General Purposes Committee. The other business transacted was of no public interest. CRYSTAL PALACE.

Margaret Murphy, 2:1, a miserable looking creature, with a baby in her arms, who had pleaded guilty to a' charge of throwing a quantity of vitriol upon a man named Maurice Murphy, with intent to disfigure him, and do him grievous bodily harin,was brought up for judgment. The circumstances of this case, it will be remembered, were of a very painful nature. The prisoner seemed to have been seduced by the prosecutor, who deserted her, leaving her with a child entirely unprovided for. Goaded by the wrongs she hail received it appeared that the wretched prisoner laid in wait for the prosecutor, and threw a quantity of vitriol over him, but fortunately without inflicting any material injury. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that the prisoner had, very likely, sustained a good deal of wrong at the bands of the prosecutor, but it was no justification for the act she had committed. She appeared to have laid in wait for the prosecutor, and to have deliberately thrown a quantity of vitriol over him, and she might have injured him for the Test of his life. It was a very serious offence, and the least punishment he could inflict upon her was to sentence her to eighteen months' imprisonment and hard labour. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOUSE. Joseph) II 'diem, a man of respectable appearance, aged 38 years, and described in the charge-sheet as residing in Ilectory-road, Stoke Newington, was brought up in custody of detective officer Hancock, and charged before Mr. Al derman Bailey with embezzling divers sums of money re ceived by him for and on account of Messrs. Lawrence and Co., his masters and employers. Mr. Wontner, sen., appeared on the part of the prosecu tion, and stated that the prosecutors were wholesale ware housemen, carrying on their business at No.los,Cheapeide, and the prisoner bad been in their service for about four years as cashier, collector, and book-keeper, and in that capacity it was his duty to receive all moneys paid to the firm, and these transactions he had to record in the cash book and ledger, which were especially under his care and control. All went on well and apparently regular until a few days ago, when one of the junior partners of the firm (Mr. Edward Brown Taylor), obeeived in the ledger an entry of a purchase of goods amounting to 801. 18s., by the house of Messrs. Baggaley, under the date of the 24th May last. On referring to the cash book Mr. Taylor found I no entry . of a payment by Messrs. Baggaley, but there were the entries of twelve small sums purporting to have been received from different customers, which items amounted in the aggregate to the precise sum of 801. 18s. On this discovery Mr. Taylor spoke to the prisoner, who insisted that the goods to the amount stated had been sold to Messrs. Baggaley, and they had paid the amount in a cheque which they gave up. By this falsification of the accounts by the prisoner he had contrived most adroitly to embezzle and apply to his own purposes no less a sum (on his own showing) than 1,2721. 18s. 10d., and the invest;gation of the books was still proceeding. Such was the present position of the affair, and after giving formal evidence to justify it, he should ask for a remand. _ _ _ Mr. Edward B. Taylor was then called and sworn, and Faye formal proof of the fasts enunciated by Mr. Wontner in his opening statement, and further proof was given of the payment to the prisoner of the SUM of 61. 13a., which he had not properly accounted for. The prisoner, who appeared to feel most acutely the position in which he was placed, declined to say anything ►t present in his defence or in reply to the charge, and Mr. Alderman Bealey remanded him for a week.
