TTLZIL London : W. Tweedier, IST. Strand. THE UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION OF 1867. (nom ov RPICTAL ow The Imperial Commissioners are in downright ' earnest with exhibitors. The cases are being thrust out. After to-day (March 2 - 1) no case will be admitted. The sweeping and cleaning are to begin to-morrow ; and on Sunday there will be a general inspection of palace and park. The activity of this week has been extraerdinary. The main avenue, from the Pont d'iima, is gay with stately columns, eagles, and flags. The outer ring , of the building is alive with the " refreshmenting ' of all nations. A mighty business in beer is proceeding in the Viennese and Munich estaminets. The sober ' Spaniards are on the point of opening their cafi— the iced water-and-sugar of which will not, 1 fear, satisfy many of their neighbours ; nor will their beer-punch be found potent enough by the French, English, ur Germans. Albeit the opening is to be quiet, and conducted with little pomp, there is now every likelihood that a lively, sparkling scene will be contrived. We have some fair spring weather at last ; and the park is not the slough of despond it was last Sunday, when it was pantile to get from one section only by the help of planks thrown across—not puddle, but muddy ponds. At the western entrance, black still water lay more than half way across the road. But the paviors are at work ; the skilful layers of bitumen are sliming the outer passages and the main paths with their unsavoury composition. The iron gate ways at the various entrances are being fixed. An . elegant railing is enclosing the horticultural de partment, so that no visitor shall get among the flowers until he has paid the supplementary ten sons. The main gateway is to be ono of the won ders of the Exhibition, but it will not be so conve nient as the eastern entrance. Here two immense sheds of elegant design have been erected, so that in wet weather the crowd waiting to pass through the turnstiles will be under cover. Three high and broadgallerieshsvebeen crected,which compose the framework of two parterres. A green cloth freaked with Imperial bees, ten metres in width, is to mal.o a covered way 250 metres in length from the POo . d'llina to the Emperor's gaudy pavilion. Ano-her happy idea in the midst of many : at the exit doors an electric telegraph has been esta blished, communicating with the great carriage stations, so that visitors can ask for their c arr ages through the wires. To the west of the budding, by the avenue Liffreu, a great suite is in course of construction for a series of historical concerts, and the " exhibition of musical composition." A covered way has been contrived from the railway terminus by the banks of the Seine to the main building. Many have been puzzled at the massive work that has been proceeding throughout the week in the middle of the central garden. I have just ascertained that it is to be a rotunda of solid build, wherein the crown jewels of the empire will be ex hibited, surrounded with flowers and the cooling waters of four fountains. The effect will be dazzling, provided the muddy green curtains which now disfigure the galleries round the court are re moved. The first summer rays of the sun would take all the colour out of them, which would im prove them ; but no art save that of the dyer could make them ornamental.

Ditto for New Courts of Justice The main avenue in the building is now receiv ing colossal cariatidos, in carton-pierre I presume, which give a tine effect. The elders are at work, and the columns glitter under their hands. Ele gant lamps are appearing in the open outer gallery. Porticoes of effective design indicate each section of the Exhibition, so that the visitor, on reaching the building, can repair straightway to the where abouts of the industry he wishes to examine. Moreover, a light gallery has been contrived along the centre of the outer or machinery gallery. By following this gallery the visitor will be able to get a bird's eye view of the courts and counters of the various exhibiting nations. The imperial commission has devoted several parts of the Exhibition palace and grounds to the erection of certain establishments designed for the convenience and comfort of visitors and exhibitors. It is decided that the contractors fur these esta blishments are to be regarded as exhibitors, and may compete for prizes. Among the constructions included up to this day in the decision of the com mission, I may mention—the hydraulic machines for the raising of water for the irrigation of the park, and for other purposes for which a moderate power is required ; the little carriages for the use of visitors in the grounds and palace ; M. Edoitin's lift fur the raising of visitors to the highest eleva tion of the galleries, whence a view of the entire, Exhibition may be obtained ; and, lastly, the steel bridge that unites the steep bank of the Seine with'! the Quai d'Orsay, and which constitutes one of the tint examples of steel applied to great public con structions. This bridge is even now open to general traffic, and has satisfactorily undergone the series of experiments made with the view of testing its solidity. 103,000 £18,769,439 Balance, being the Deficiency on March M, 1867, afoul the charge of the C.unolidate.l Pima al Great Britain, to meet the Divitlenth, &lid other charges, payable to the Quarter to June 30, 1u67 67?,863 £220,446,301 TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (scurzs's TELECLUIL TEE REPORTED CESSION OF LUXEM BURG TO FRANCE. LUXKMMURG, MARCH 30. The current rumours of the cession of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg to France aro officially de dared to be devoid of foundation. Numerous handbills are being circulated here, headed " Vive Napoleon ! " " Vivo la France !" and instigating the inhabitants to acts of violence against the Prussians. Four regiments of troops belonging to the garrison, composed of Nassauels, have made an attempt to revolt. The governor, in consequence, has been compelled to make the mast serious representations on the subject to the civil authorities of the town. THE HAGUE, hitecu 31. The Official Gazette of to-day, in the name of the Chancellery of Luxemburg, gives the most positive denial to the statement that that Grand Duchy has been ceded to France, and adds :—" There could only be question of such a cession in the event of the great Powers, who are interested in the matter, having first come to an understanding on the subject." - BERLIN MARCH 31. In to-morrow's sitting of the NOrth German parliament, Herr von Bennigsen, in the name of the National Liberal party, will bring forward an interpolation asking whether the rumours of negotiations between Holland and France for the cession of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg to the latter Power are well founded, and whether the Prussian government is in • position to make communications to parliament to the effect that it is determined, together with its Federal allies, to secure permanently against every danger the connexion of Luxemburg with the rest of Ger many, and especially Prussia's right to garrison the capital of the Grand Duchy. The interpellation of Herr von Bennigsen will, moreover, declare that all parties will be united in giving the government their most power ful support to prevent the separation of an ancient l German land from the rest of Germany. The Crown Prince of Saxony is expected here to-morrow. His visit is connected, it is believed, with the settlement of important military questions. SERVIA. BELGRADE, MARCH 30. Prince Michael left at 9 this morning for Con stantinople. His highness was accompanied by the Pacha of the citadel of Belgrade. ITALY. FLORENCE, MAWR _3O. To-day in the Chamber of Deputies the bill for the provisional exercise of the budget for three months was adopted by 267 against 26 votes. The ministry agreed to the proposal of Signor Luz:caro l that the budget of 1868 should be presented within the next three months. The Government an nounced that on Monday next they will introduce financial bills relative to the reform of the system of public accounts and taxation. An official state- 1 ment of the condition of the Treasury will shortly be laid before the house. The official programme of the opening has not yet been published, but we understand (says Garignanis Messenger of yesterday) that at the present time the fol lowing is the course of proceeding decided on :—The Em peror and Empress will arrive at the Champ tie Mars at 2 o'clock by the Pont d'lena. The members and admi nistrative staff of the Imperial Commission will receive their Majesties at the entrance of honour, and accompany them in this first visit. The certige will follow the grand passage, now covered over with a handsome velum, and will by that way reach the principal gate of the palace ; it will then ascend one of the great staircases of the machine compartment, and make a tour of the palace on that platform. The different foreign com missions will be ranged along the nave, each before the section assigned to the nation it represents. The mem bers of the juries of Groups VI. and X. (instruments and objects for common use, combining utility with cheapness) will be stationed on the platform. Having thus given • glance at the manufactures of all nations, the Emperor, returning to the principal gate, will enter the grand vestibule of honour, from which debouch the circular galleries, at the aides of which are placed the various sorts of raw material with the processes of applica tion to the liberal arta. At the entrance of each pas sage will be placed the members of the juries of these groups. The cerUpe, then turning towards the central garden,will proceed to the part devoted tothe fine arta, arid traverse the galleries from end to end. The procession will neat pass before the entm nee of the arclueological compart ment and follow the central garden longitudinally. Finally SPAIN. it will take its departure by the gallery called the Belgian, MADRID, Msg.= 30. in which are ranged the productions of Belgium and The new Congress assembled to-day for the first Prussia.

Official intelligence received here by post says that no hostilities have taken place on the Russian frontiers in Central Asia. The Emir of Bukhara had been defeated by the natives of Shehri-Sebz and forced to allow that province to become an independent State. The Emir had returned to Bokhara. A semiofficial denial is given here to a rumour that differences had arisen between France and Russia, which had prevented those powers from addressing a collective note to the Porte coun selling the cession of Candia to Greece. AMERICA. (sy ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.) NEW YORK, MARCH 30, 6 P.Y.

A band of thieves had collected at about midnight with the intention, as is supposed, of waylaying the persons who were at a dancing-room in the neighbour hood. Two of them having attacked an artilleryman, who resisted and roughly handled them, they whistled, and their comrades at once came to their assistance. The soldier, on his side, called for help, and some persons re sponding to his appeal a general fight commenced, during which knives were drawn and freely used, A patrol, at tracted by the noise, hastened to the spot, and had great difficulty in putting an end to the affray, in which, although it had lasted only a few minutes, one man had already been killed and five badly woundad. Fifteen of the parties were arrested. The deceased, who has been recognised as a young workman in a portemionnaie factory, bad received a stab in the abdomen, the instru ment having penetrated the peritoneum. The belief is that he was one of the aggressors.—Gafigadm.

The ship Imperial, which reached the Mersey on Saturday, from San Francisco, reports fearful weather off the Irish coast. On the 28th ult., a large vessel was sighted with a signal flying, to the effect that she was" in want of immediate assistance." There was a schooner close to under the stern, and a large screw steamer was making for the distressed s hip. The Imperial also passed through a quantity of wreck, consiating of cabin furniture, chains, &c. The Calpe (a.), which has arrived at Liverpool, reports that on the 28th ult., when about 82 miles north-east of Tucker, she fell in with • dismasted vessel of about 3:10 tons. The entire bulwarks from the windlass to the stern were carried away, the deck planks partially ripped up and the beams laid bare. The rudder was adrift, and the vessel's head down in the water, owing to the two bower anchors being deep over the bows, The cargo appealed to have been washed com pletely out of the hold, and there was nothing to be seen to indicate either the name or the nationality of the vessel, or the fate of the crew. When the Calpe fell in with the derelict, she was in lat. 50.55 N., lon. 0. 52 W. -- • • • THE INUNDATION AT WlNDSOR.—Yesterday the floods which covered the land in the suburbs of Windsor and Eton had greatly eubsided, although there was still much ground under water. The inundation has been ex tensive in the neighbourhood of Staines and Chertsey, but a few dry days will soon clear the meadows. At Windsor on Friday night a somewhat remarkable occurrent* took place, close to the Great Western Railway terminus. Exactly opposite the " Clemens," and within a few yards of the gasometers, was a stable belonging to Mr. Little, coal merchant. This building was completely surrounded by the inundation. About half-past six o'clock flames were observed to issue from the roof, and as sistance was at once procured to put out the fire, which was r►pidly consuming the stable, in which, it is said, about 40 qu►rters of corn were stored. The cause of the fire is curiously enough ascribed to the water from the inundation penetrating to the lower floor, mingling with some lime, and eventually from the great heat generated setting the place in flames. BOMBAY MAIL—MALTA, MARCH 31.—The Syria left at 8 p.m. yesterday, and the Delta leaves at 5 a.m. to day. The former may be expected at Marseilles on the 2nd, and the latter at Southampton about the 9th Alai'. Mr. liracza—We object to the whole of the rate-pay ing clauses. (Hear, bear.) Mr. GLanfrrome-1 may miy there is a great difference of opinion in the House of Commons upon those two principles. There are a great number of persons who would feel that it is a great injustice to place the com pound householders upon &footing of relative disadvantage, and who yet think, wisely or not, that the clause with re spect to the paying of rates should be retained. Mr. Bashes then continued at some length to expound the views of the League, insisting that a bill without a lodger franchise would be an insult and a mockery. Mr. Wiarragron. who wee Introduced as a workiag-ciao, called attention to the savings -bank quidificatien, and argued, not, however, without 11/1116 expressions of dissent from other members of the deputation, that men who had money in the savings bank as a rule took no interest in political or trade movements, but were intensely selfish. _ _ _ Mr. GLarisromt, having laughingly said that Mr. Wee terton was somewhat hard upon the depositors in savings banks, and had spoken in the " heat of debate," pro ceeded to reply generally to the deputation. He said : IV hen the savings-bank clause was proposed last year, it was thought that a good occupying and lodger franchise must be regarded as the true Niles of enfranchisement. The clause was intended to include those classes whose education and intelligence placed them, as the govern meet of the day thought, in a position to claim the fran chise fairly. At the same time that savings -bank clause, which was a very modest one, was proposed chiefly with reference to counties. It was not intended to establish the same principle in them as in the boroughs, because, although in the counties there are a great number of men well qualified to exercise the franchise, they are not as a class to be compared to the working men of the towns. It was very much pressed upon us at the time to consider the principle of selection. We said we did not want to have a swamping process, or an indiscriminate eufran chisement. We framed the bill in • spirit of extreme conciliation, and we inserted that qualification in the faint hope of assuaging the hostility which we had to encounter ' rather than because we believed it to be a vitally important principle. It was as a measure of conciliation that it was inserted, but I am bound to say that the re ception of that part of the proposal convinced roe it would no., pass. It would have been faintly supported and keenly opposed. Of course it would have had no effect on the general features of the scheme. 'With regard to the general question, I must express my gratitude for the sentiments of confidence uttered to me personally ' • and I am greatly obliged that you are good enough to entertain the opinion that my purpose is straightforward, and that I mean to adhere Wit like a man. (Cheers.) I also very freely accept the wise terms of moderation in which you have ex pressed your desire that the measure of reform now before the country should be brought as nearly as possible into har mony with your own principles, but at the same time not to tie the hands of those in parliament and elsewhere who think that provided the measure be not illusive, but sub stantial, useful, and valuable, it might be their duty to accept, support, and pass it. You have in this matter spoken in the same sense as another deputation which I had the pleasure to receive here last Saturday from the London Working Men's Association, and which, though not identical, I imagine to be to a considerable extent in harmony and sympathy with you. Those gentlemen spoke in the same terms of moderation and wisdom with regard to this question. You have rightly said this is an important crisis. It is especially important for those who belong to the liberal party, and it is import ant for parliament as a whole, because the credit of that institution demands that it should show itself capable of handling the reform question at this particular juncture. I need not, I think, dwell upon the particular points you have entered into, because to a great extent I have dealt with them elsewhere during the peat few weeks. It was pointed out just now that the management of this bill for the amendment of the representation of the people was now placed in the hands of the House of Commons, and of the liberal party in a great degree as constituting the majority of the house. While that is the general, and it may be correct, impression, I must beg you to under stand I do not think we are in a condition yet to state up to what point this is precisely true. No doubt there is one most exceptional thing, I will even go further and say most outrageous proposition, contained in the government bill—l mean the dual vote. (Laughter.) Well, that has already been abandoned: it is gone, and weneed nut trouble ourselves any more about it. With respect to the other propositions, the government, by the speeches of some of its members—(a hiugh)—in the recent debate, cer tainly would have been understood to express an intention to adhere to them ; hut in the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer no such intention was expressed—(" hear," and • laugh)—and perfect freedom has been reserved to deal with the bill, but it is a freedom on the part of the government much more than on ours. No pledge or pro mise has been given of • character that would enable us to exact this or that, so far as I can see, except with regard to dual voting. Being desirous that the matter should cleared up as far as it can be, I intend to ask on Monday night whether it is the intention of the government to make any alteration in the bill before they ask the house to go into committee. I think it would be very desirable that the information of the public upon this subject should be enlarged as much as practicable. Of course when we are aware of the final judgment of the government it will be time for us to consider what steps we ought to take in order to give effect to the intentions we have hitherto expressed, and to our public duty. I myself will certainly he no assenting party to an inefficient measure, or to any steps which will tend to destroy or diminish our means of securing en efficient measure. With regard par ticularly to the representation of the metropolis, in which, of course, you have a special interest, it seems to me un deniable that it is perfectly idle to talk of • bill for the amendment of the representation of the people, that does not amend the representation of the people of the metro polis; that imposes or continues unnecessary restrictions upon compound householders ; or that makes DO provision for a lodger franchise. (Hear, bear.) Under the term lodger franchise may he included two essentially different ideas, and, therefore, essentially different classes of propositions. One of them is what I may call a middle-class franchise— s franchise so limited by amount, and, like that of 18.59, including the elements even of funiiture. (Laughter.) This I do not consider to be a lodger franchise,l but as a 'revision falling into the category of those special franchises of which you have heard. When I speak of a lodger franchise I mean one which is to do for working men in London the same as • good occupying franchise will do for the working men of a town like Leeds. The circumstances of Loudon require many work ing men to be lodgers in order to be near their work, who would be householders in the great bulk of other towns. (A Voice—There is the question of voting papers.) After all, the borough franchise is really the key to the bill. I cannot say that I have studied the subject of voting papers as much as sore other members have done ; but looking at the opinions expressed resting it, . 913.1 at the state of the House of Commons, I don't think the proposition is likely to live. In the course of a series of questions and remarks from various members of the deputation, the harmony of the m:eting was slightly broken, cons,quent upon an emphatic denial by Mr. Cremer that the deputation of the previous Saturday represented the working men of London. One or two members of the deputation angrily and loudly re torted that they dial, and • "scene" was only prevented by the interposition of Mr. Bodes, Colonel Dickson, and others. A desultory conversation followed, during which Mr. GLADSTONE said be hoped the question would soon be settled for a generation at kart. Lord Shaftesbury, the Hon. W. Cowper, and the Hon. A. Kinnairil having been introduced, Mr. GLADBTONE said he wished to speak to the deputa tion upon the propelled demonstration or reform meeting on Good Friday. He had communicated with the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Hon. William Cowper, the Hon. Arthur Kinnard, andwith Mr. Stansfeld. and they all agreed that it would be unwise to held such a demonstration or meeting on such a day as that. Any demonstration on Good Friday would cause offence to many, and the desire of all friends of reform should be to avoid giving offence. World it not be well to hold the proposed meeting on some other day, so as not to mix nip any elements of disturbance in the question! Ile had Metter many apologies for saying this, as it was on his part an interference in a matter in which be haul no right to meddle. Mr. lizates asked if any objection was raised to the place as well as to the day of meeting ? Mr. Gtanirroare said he did not know where the pro posed place was, and he should limit his objection to the remarks which he had made. Mr. 13EALIN explained that it had been proposed to have • " promenade demonstration" in Hyde-park on Good Friday, and opinions were divided as to whether the day should be Good Friday or Easter Mouday. He himaelf was against Good Friday, as he thought nothing should be done to hurt the religious views of the community. (Hear, hear.) But there happened to be a demonstration at Birmingham on Easter Monday, and many of the League wished to attend that. But as this objection had MA GLADSTONE AND THE WORM LEAGUE. been so handsomely made, be would at once say that another day should be selected. A deputation from the Council of the Reform TheEarlefSaarrmatatrespressedthepleasurewithwtikh League had an interview with Mr. Gladstone, at his house, he heard that statement. Re was sure they were all glad to do se they would be done by, and if they knew that a on Saturday afternoon. particular day was regarded with feelings of sanctity by a Mr. BIALEB, the president, explained that he and his body of the people, they would avoid giving offence to friends objected to the rate-paying clauses. those feelings.

(A laugh and cheers.) Mr. Kisrwitti hoped before the session was over there would be a satisfactory adjustment of all difficulties. (Hear, hear.) The deputation thanked Mr. Gladstone and withdrew. Sine firm THE FRENCH AND FLEMISH EXHIBITION. The French Gallery in Pall-mall was ()pencil to private view on Saturday with a very interesting collection of pictures by artists of the French and Flemish schools, under the direction of Mr. Wallis, who we understand fur the future transfers his interest to this gallery. Private views are no longer what they used be; they are indeed so attractive as to be far more crowded with persona of dis tinction and connoisseurs than the public views, so that it becomes next to impossible to do justice to the painters on these occasions. With the intention therefore of entering upon a more deliberate examination of the pictures, we prefer for the present merely to direct attention to the following as some of the rorinripal works:— "Louis XI V. and BloliCre," a highly finished cabinet pic ture by Gerome ; " The Confirmation," a picture of unusual interest, by Duverger ; "The Engraver'a Studio,' by J. G. Vibert ; " Louis XVI. at his favourite occupation of lock-making," by Joseph Camud, a work of remarkable finish ; a beautiful landscape, with early morning effect, " The Ferry Boat," by Constant Troyon ; several good ex amples of Edouanl Frire, Veyrassat, Ilaninian, Decamps, Plassan, Leys, Alma•Tadema, Lawhinet, G. Koller, A. Stevens, and other artists, forming altogether an exhibi tion of striking excellence. The Society of British Artiste open their gallery in Suffolk.,treet, P.dl-mall, to-day, with their annual exhibi• tion of works by the members sad other contributors. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL FOR IRELAND.—The Attorney-General was returned on Saturday for the Uni versity of Dublin without opposition. ROYAL HOSPITAL FOR INCURABLES, WEST -HILL, PUTNEY-HEATH.— On Thursday last • public meeting in aid of this charity was held at the Royal Pump Rooms, Leamington, the Right Hon. Lord Leigh presiding. The principal speakers, besides his lordship, were the Rev. Dr. Temple, Head Master of Rugby School, and Mr. Charles Reed, F.S.A., son of Dr. Reed, the founder of the charity. Mr. Reed attended tut a deputation from the London board. Dr. Temple described in an earnest and prtbetio speech the condition and the needs of the objects of this charity—" those who by disease, accident, or deformity are hopelessly disqualified for the duties of life." Mr. Reed dwelt upon the necessity of increasing the number of the beneficiaries of the charity. There were two hundred approved and waiting applicants •, the hospital was nearly full, and funds were wanted for adding a new wing to the building at Putney-heath. Mr. Reed described • few cases actually in receipt of the benefit, and urged the claims of the institution upon the country at large. The other speakers were Mr. J. 0. Bacchus, J.l'., Dr. Jephson, Dr. Thomson !and Mr. Robert Baker, of Leamington Dr. Parsey, of Hatton ; Mr. James Darlington, J.P., Meriden ; and Messrs- Beefing, Goodall, and Woolley, of London, the last two members of the board. Specimens of work by some of the patients were shown to the conipany, and the account of the institution given by Messrs. BAC; bUI and Baker, who had recently visited it, greatly interested the audience. Resolutions were passed. approving of the objects of the institution, and pledging the county of Warwickshire to its support. A cordial vote of thanks was passed to Lord Leigh fur his lordship's kind and ready acceptance of the office of chairman, also to the Warwick. shire committee, especially Mr. J. 0. Bacchus, treasurer, and Mr. Alfred Keene, hon. sec., and to the deputation. Mr. Keene announced • collection of 291.1 f., including 441. in annual subscriptions. THE STRIKE OF AGRICFLTTRAL LABOCRERS IN Bucks.—The meccas of the agricultural labourers at Gaw cott, in Bucks, in their strike for an increase of wages from 9s. and lne. to Ils. and 12s. per week, seems to have raised some feeling of discontent amongst those of other parts of the county, and a movement for a similar increase has taken place at Aston Abbotta, Wing, Wingrave, Row. sham, Weedon, Whitchurch, and Merton, respectful re presentations having been made by the labourers to their employers of the insufficiency of their remuneration. The fanners no doubt fearing the inceuteuience which such a strike as that at flawoott would produce, have in reply to the request augmented the wages of their laboureneone, and in some instances two, shillings per week, and • few have promised a further advance of another shilling per week if the weather continues favourable foragricultural operations. A few, however, stand out spinet the desires of their men. The contributions to the Gawcott strike fund have been rapidly augmented. Another " deal out" therefrom to the labourers was made on Saturday, and the men have been enabled to stand out, and will do for some time to come, according to the statements of Mr. Bias, me of the secretaries, who says that he thinks the committee have received sufficient assistance to enable them to meet all demands likely to be made upon theta. Meanwhile the emigration of agricultural labourers from Gawcott to other parts of the country is pro;reseing, nearly a dozen more having been transferred free of coat to places where they are now receiving at the rate of Vs. and like per week for their labour. Respecting the general demeanour of the men still out on strike, it is as respectful to the em ployers of labour as it was lest week, aid anything likely to be annoying to the latter, in the shape of procession ing, lie., is strictly avoided. Expressions of sympathy with the men are daily being received by the secretaries. The °emulates exprem their determination to continue their efforts, and even to widen their sphere of operation, if neceseary, so as to put the position of the agricultural labourers throughout the country on a higher level. Tire HERDER NEAR CHADWELL-HEATH, —On Saturday an inquest was held at the White Home, Chad well heath, on Sarah Ann Bacon, a married woman, aged 24, whose husband had giveu Wined' up to tee police on a charge of having murdered her. The paice found the dead body of a woman lying on the right•liand able of the Hereford-rod, near Mark's-gate, in • large pool of blood, and about 100 yards from the body a knife covered with blood The further evidence went to show that the accused had been married to deceased about five years. and that she was the mother of two children, both girls, one aged three years sod the other 13 months.
