IMI'ERIAL PARLIAMENT. The debate which pre! ,, sled the withdrawal of Mr. Bruce's Edueetionel Bill yesterday afternoon was rendered in ore anim a ted th an usual by the ocearrenee of a toicrably sharp alte.e...tt On b.Lts..;eu the right hon. gentleman and Mr. Dixon, the member for Birmingham, on the one side, and Lord R. Mon tagu on the other, as to the vaiwt of: the exer tions made, and the authority of the statistics obtained by the educational aid socialist of Manchester and Birmingham. Mr. Bruce and Mr. Dixon charged the Viee-President of the Committee of Council with having, when he moved the education graitt, misrepresented the character anti unjustly attacked the reports of these societies ; and Lord It. Montagu replied by fresh charges of inaccuracy against the reports, and a lively criticism upon the provisions of the bill. The general discussion, in which a large number of hon. numbers took part, ranged Over almost every point of the education controversy - the failure of voluntaryism, the necessity of com pulsion, and the respective merits or advantages of religious anti secular education; and one hon. gentleman • Mr. Parker, the member for West Suffolk- contrived even to introduce an allusion to the malt-tax. From English education to (Mr. Blake's) Irish Sea Fisheries was rather a sharp transition. The disettsmion on the latter subject was remarkable for the unanimity of opinion exhibited byithe Irish members, to whom it was principally confined. aid iu tlu• end the lune number for Water ford got his bill read a second time. As by this time, the time for dosing the discussion upon all matters of controversy had arrived, most of the other orders were postponed, and the house adjourned. TIIE SIMEBURYNESS EXPERIMENTS. SUOEBURYNESS, WIMNBSDAY. Amongst the few spectators who braved the Beyer sun on the Shoehury marshes to-day Prince Arthur paid what is officially termed a private visit. Colonel F. Eardley-Wilmot, the celebrated artillerist and courteous superintendent of these experiments, explained to him the shooting, past, present, and future. after which his royal highness, with a blue distinguishing ticket in his button hole, like the net, roamed lasint at pleasure in front of the target, asking various questions of various pers‘ais. and manifested /4 /*We i /jib illtere4 111 till`lml4 . l4 . ding.. The news of the Prince's visit was not announced beforehand, but before he had been on the spot an hour, a clergyman, with It train of young lath. s under his guidance, and a sprink ling of t isit.nx, hitherto unseen, were observeul Cs:1,111111M: with extreme interest the unromantic ~bj, cis of the practice ground. The Rodman gun, from which two shots w e re fill 11 yeti 'clay evening tut it late 11101IIVItt that llre -1.111/h d loone than a mere mention, gave no rea.on why any 1N•1140.11 win had 1114(41 its previcms pi r form:au sit ittlil change his opini, ti.

The shots themselves were MOW la lI'S,. %h; i tem!, and the friends of the Anceric an •iitooth-lscre, while admitting that it is less Ith , etivc• than the terrible riflod shell or shot front the Woolwich gun, plead the inferiority of the material of which the shot is made MR a miti gation of sentence upon its merits. That, how ever. is a matter for teelinical men to deal with; tax mere recorders of results we can only say that a fort constructed on the principle either of the Plymouth Breakwater or the experimental case mate would so far have Isar unhanded but for the att:iebs of our own ordnance. The stringers, which were on their trial yester day, and again to-day, are best known as Ilughes' patent longitudinal hollow stringers. They were originally invented, by the gentleman whose name they bear, for armour-plated ships, and have pro mised Kt/ well that the War-office resolved to test them to ascertain their vulueforcoastdefences. Itis claimed that as a system of backing it is superior to the combination of iron and wood once so popular, and that, by giving a minimum of ma terial with a maximum of strength, it is much cheaper than costlier defences not a whit more efficient. Another point in its favour is that, Icing a thinner structure, it takes up but little room, but that is an advantage that would probably apply more to ships than forts. The proveillings this morning commenced un usually early with a shell front the 9-inch gun, at the experimental casemate that received 20 shots yesterday, two only of which effected com plete penetration. It was aimed at the 6-inch plate, and struck between two previous shots, but without splitting the intermediate substance of iron. The shell was so far successful that it penetrated 16.3 inches. The inner coating,ormant let, was taken down, to see what the blow had done in the interior, and it was found that although the concrete had offered but slight re sistance, the stringer had stood firm, and that the general structure of the casemate had not been injured to speak of, beyond the two 10-inch shells that created the clean breaches yester day. A couple of shots from the 7-inch gun were fired next, but they buried themselves harmlessly in the target, breaking off, as these rifled pro jectiles often do, at the groove studs. The plates fired against were eight and six inches, and the indentation eight and twelve inches respectively. A third round from the same gun, striking the four inch plate where the rear support is a 7-inch channel iron, penetrated 11.3 inches. A bolt was started outwards from a quarter to three-eighths of an inch. The shot entered very near the bolt, and between two other shots, but the iron showed the sante toughness as on each previous trial. The next was a 9-inch shot at the 8-inch plate. For the first time the Palliser missile imbedded itself in the target without breaking up, although the starred aspect of the end evidenced that it was held together pretty much by the plate Two tiny cracks were now visible in connection with one of the Rodman shots and one of the shells of yesterday. This was not an unlikely result, /teeing that within a section of six feet by five feet (rough measurement), half a dozen full shots had taken effect. Another 9-inch shot was fired at the 6-inch plate with pier at the back. It pene trated the target 17 inches, leaving, like the pre vious shot, the remainder projecting, though in a more shattered condition. It entered quite close to a bolt without injuring it, and four or five inches front a previous shot hole without cracking the intermediate plating. Another 9-inch shot struck the 6-inch plate and penetrated 19.2 inches. A abet from the 10-inch gun, with 60 lbs. charge, followed. It went through the 8-inch plate and ' the concrete beyond, with a total penetration of '2 feet 10 inches, starting, but not splitting, a bolt which it grazed along its course, and distributing some small fragments of concrete from the top of the pier. The injury, however, would not ma terially weaken the works, nor be fatal to the gunners within the casement. No so the next shot of the same calibre. It went through a 6-inch plate clear of the pier, and a bo ut two feet to the left of the porthole. Crashing through the stringer, it travelled in two portions far out to sea, sent deadly fragments of iron plate hither and thither upon the casemate floor, shivered the wooden screen. and powdered the concrete and bitumen filling in a manner that would, by suffocation, have completed the destruc tion which the flying debris had not monopolised. It should in justice, however, be added that there is every probability that the disposition of the stringers in the same direction as the plates (the shot as it was striking near where the joints of one crossed those of the other) would have ensured a different issue. A 10-inch shot was next aimed at the edge of the porthole, which it struck, broke into fragments, and glancing obliquely in an easterly direction, toppled over a couple of huge 6-inch armour plates, temporarily fixed at the side of the casement, and went away into the water. Then a parting shot was given from the 12-inch Woolwich gun—the heaviest in the service —and the 6001bs. shot was fired with 761bs. of pellet powder. This severelest was directed at a comparatively weak part of the target, which was made still weaker by several former shots having penetrated the immediate Tieinity. It it hardly THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1868. to say that this tremendous p ro j ectile swept lough everything, making fine dust of the concrete, and clearing all before it. The shot struck in such a position that four shot holes were battered into one largo ugly gap. The plate, which was four inchm thick, cracked across on either side of the aperture, and the bottom portion of the severed pew of plate was forced out in proportion as the top was bulged is. The concussion that followed this was roost disastrous to the heavy granite basement, from which two immense blocks were bodily detached, while divers fissures appeared in the remainder. _ _ ----- When the bugle gave the signal for " cease firing," the target had received 32 shots in its lower half, while the Plymouth Breakwater fort target by its side had received 22 over its whole area. Speaking in general terms the result of the two days' trial has been favourable to the system of compound backing as against the bars and plates of which the other target is composed. Tho damaging shots hit where that backing was the weakest, and the question now is one of quantity rather than principle. The presence of concrete in the compound found very few bold enough to speak in its favour. The designer of this target, Colonel Jervoise, has every reason to congratulate himself upon the manner in which it has stood against the battery. Belem dismissing the subject we ought to men tion that the main principle adopted in the design was laid before the iron-plate committee in 1843 by Mr. Chalmers. The matter is referred to in their transactions and reports, but Mr. Chalmers' preposition was made on the understanding that his!' iron girders would be used for the protection of stone work only, and not as a shield for the embrasure of a casemated battery. The experiments will be resumed on a future day. They have this week, as last, been watched by a number of scientific men, both English and foreign, who will also keenly watch those which have to follow. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SEULAIHET IN THE Statrmrrnm.—Two swimming races took place yesterday morning in the Serpentine, the first being among the member of the West London Club for the captaincy and fuer silver cups. There were ten competitor; who were started from the grating about half-pant nix, to finish at the Royal Seeiety's Ind-boom —NO yards. fir. H. B. Kent, of " Bell's Life," gave the word "oft," and all went except Tom Morris, who when he did go soon put himself in front, and he may be div posed of at owe by raying that he wen easily, having more than, cm used to let the others come up and make &show of a race. Soon after starting D. Olver, J. Polley, F. Dowse, and A. Smith were swimming in the order of their names, the last becoming first of that division at about 200 yards, and going level on suffe rance with Morris. D. Olver was next, and Brunble close up, but these two soon changed places, and in that way fi nished. A. Baldock, T. Brown, 0. Moakley, and T. Hemaley also swam. Time, 9 minutes 14 seconds. The second event was the Second- Cialol Members' Ram, by the Serpentine Club ; 800 yards ; three prima. There were eight entries, and all stripped on the Williams yacht, and moored above the boat-house, to finish at the bridge. Mr. Humphries was starter, and at 7.5 all dived together. Thomas Errington was first to lead, and at 100 yards was well clear ; H. Jenkins = in the second place, very close up. C. Collins then Jenkins, who fell in the rear of all but O. Ballard. Between 250 and 900 yards J. Collard (who was a great favourite at starting) got two-thirds of the distance. The favourite then tried the breaststroke, but finding it would not do resumed the side, and, swimming the strawy:at, won by a good 20 yards. Ihrington, who was second, eased so that Collins came within about 15 yards of him for third plasm. Mr. Evans, the hen. secretary of the dub, was judge, and the time was 12 min. H sec. It wall be as well to suggest that competiton should wear coloured caps, no that they should be the better recognised, and it I. understood that at the forthcoming race of the Regent Club, on the 13th proximo, Mr. Charles Whyte, the swimming master, will adopt the plan.

TAE CENTRAL WALES EXTENSION RAILWAY.- On Tuesday afternoon a banquet was given in the Town hall, Llandovery, South Wales, by the landowners of the district ? in celebration of the opening of the Central Wales Extension Railway, which has been constructed in completion of the Central Wales system, under the tee of the London and North Western Railwayrorrany. The new line, though only twelve miles in length, will have the effect of materially reducing the rail way distance between the ports and mining districts of South Wales with the north and east of England. The line, though so short, contains several important works, including a tunnel through a slate bill of nearly throe quarters of a mile long, and an aqueduct 1,000 feet long and 109 high. It has been constructed under the superin tendence of Mr. Robertson, C.E. TIIE CLAPHAM JUNCTION ESTATE.—The first portion of the Bolingbroke-park property having been entirely disposed of, the second allotment took place yesterday, at the offices of the Conservative Land Society, and a large sale thereof was effected. The com petition for special plots was so great that as high as 101. was paid for a right of choice to secure priority of selec tion. Some notion of the high prices which suburban freehold land will fetch near a railwa station is a ff avled when it is stated that the 113 plots so ld in the first allot ment ranged in price from Mt up to 1,000!. per plot; and plots on the second portion were sold from 08/. up to 4104 each. _ - . BABY FARM LNO.—Yesterday Dr. LAnkester held two inquests, at the Elephant and Castle, King's road, Bt. Pancras, ou the bodies of infants that had died from the want of the natural support.

Deceased had been taken from the mother, and put out to nurse at 4s. 61. a week; but it became so ill that it was taken to the workhouse, whore it died of inflammation of the lungs. The medical evidence showed that the child had become very much emaciated, and that its death was accelerated by the absence of the proper nourishment from its mother. In the second case, the inquest was on the body of Frederick William Court, aged lo month'. The features of this case wore almost the same as those in the other. The deceased was an ille gitimate child, and the mother is now in the workhouse. It was, before being admitted to the house, put out to nurse at 4s. 6d. per week. When admitted into the house the mother complained that it had been much neglected, and it was found to be in a very emaciated and dirty condition. It died on the 23rd June, within a short time of its admission to the house, and its death had, as in the previous case, been accelerated through the want of natural nourishment. The verdict in both cases was, "Death from natural causer" and the jury expressed their opinion that death had been accelerated by the want of proper food and attention.

ILISSORD V. TILE MOUTH WI:IMMIX RAILWAY 0011:PAIIT. This WAR an action to recover damages for injuries suf iced in Um railway accident that happened at the War rington junction on the 29th June fast year. The train was an express, and in consequence of some blunder at the points it went on to a wrong line of rails, and nut into some coal trucks. The defendants admitted their liability, and the only question, therefore, was the amount of damages to which the plaintiff was entitled. Mr. J. J. Powell, Q.C., and Mr. Grantham appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Giffurd, Q.C., and Mr. Fletcher for the defendants. The plaintiff was a young man 23 years of age. Ho had served his time in Wigmore-street as apprentice to a cabinetmaker, and after his time was out be procured an engagemcht as pantomimist, and devoted himself to that way of getting his living. At the time of the accident, the plaintiff was on his way to fulfil an engagement at 31. 10e. per week, besides benefits. The carriage in which the plaintiff was was smashed by the collision, and when he recovered his senses be found himself with his head downward, and his heels in the air, and he was surrounded by the fragments of the carriage. Hewes, of course, very seriously brained, and his collar-bone was broken. The fracture was set, but in such a way that the ends of the bone overlapped ; and the elbow joint, having been long out of use, had become stiff, so that the plaintiff could not straighten his arm to the full extent, and was unable to do any serious muscular work with it. Sir William Fergunsim and Mr. Skey were called to give I evidence as to the plaintiff's hurt, and the effect of it was that the plaintiff must not act as a pantomimist again, be- Ca KC his t o doing might cause the overlapping bone to pierce a blood-vessel, and produce death within ton minutes. . . " ii;:liiffard called no witnesses, but addrewd the jury in mitigation of damages. The jury found for the plaintiff—damages 5001. COIJIIT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Jums 24. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) OSBOT/NE O. antrrou.--writamos CASE. (Continued from yesterday's Erpress.) The plaintiff, on being ex:,m'mNl, maid -My nle is now 45. I went into the .crvice of James . Britton 23 )11/18 ago. At first he gave me 1.51. a year, but 16 or 17 years ago be raised my wages to 201. On the lit of January, 1667, he owed me about :115/. The Gibson kept a public lime.e. After Gamin's death, ther2 wa. a d;eussaei between the intestate and myself about Mr.i. C lon. the had given out that he had offered lex marriage. I raid "if you will give me my wages I will go away end trouble you no more." He said, "Oh, no. I never raid anything to the woman, and I'll marry you." This was in January, 1867. lie sent Mrs. King dom, my sister, to Birmingham with .5.. to put in the banns. He would not be married at Stourbridge. because lie did not want his brother (who ill-used me) to know of the wedding. He was on had terms with his brother. Birmingham was eleven or twelve miles distant. On the duy of the wedding, we left home at about eight o'clock, and drove over in our pony trap to the church. We got there at about ten, and met my sister and my ore sent husband, Osborne, there. Britton had had a touch of rheumatism, but it only affected his hand at that time. Mr. Hill married us. Mr. Hill, in asking Briton his trade, said, "You're all nailers 1' Britton was a nailer but latterly he had only sold them. He told Mr. Hill that his father's name was Samuel. Britton signed the register with a cross, for when rheumatic he could not write. I used often to make memoranda for him, and when his hand got better he would enter them in his books. The witneiees to the marriage were my sister and Fisher, an official of the church. After the marriage we went to lunch at a tin man's in Bismingham named Siviter. Britton bought somelgoods of Siviter, paid for them, and took them away. Then we went to a publican's, named Owen, in Broad street; then to Mr. Talbot's, a gold refiner ; and after making other calls we returned home. We did not men tion our marriage to anyone. In March I went over to a trial at Worcester. I was a witness. I gave my name as " Mary Ann Shaw," for my name had been entered before we were married. Mr. Price, our attorney, did not then know of the wedding. Britton used to make journeys three times a year. He went on one of these just before his death. On the 7th of October he wrote to mu to drive over and meet him at Birmingham. The letter was put in. It contained no express recognition of the plaintiff as wife.] As we were driving home a wheel came off, but we were not thrown out. Britton was very ill, for he had caught a violent cold. On the day ho died he got up, washed him self, shaved himself ; then he was taken worse and died. I sent for my sister, and also for Mr. Price. Samuel Britton came the same day, and accused me of murdering my husband. The fact of my marriage was mentioned. I had fetched young Mr. Price because the Britton were ill using me. I told him that I was married, and he told them that some of the property would belong to me as widow. I was married early in November to Osborne. I did that for protection ; for I dared not go through the streets. The defendant hrew brickbats at me, and I have bruises on me now from the effects of his violence. - . Croes-examined--My husband was buried on the 3rd of November, and I was married to Osborne on the 10th. I have; nothing to show for the money Britton owed me when I was married to him. He was an old man. Had often known him to sign his name by a cross when his band was rheumatic. The book produced is in his hand writing. There are entries on the day of the wedding, but he used to copy my memoranda when he was able. That might be in an hour or two afterwards. I used to bathe his hand with cold water, and that would some times take down the swelling at once. Osborne was a brick maker. Britton had told him that he meant to marry me. We had met him at the church door, and Britton told him what he was going to do. Britton had told me that somebody would be there. He held the pony's head while we were in the church ; and when we came out, my husband gave him, I think, half a crown. Never offered Fisher money to identify the decee•ed. Merely went to ask Fisher why her husband's father's name had been entered in the register as "Wi lliam." The plaintiff's husband, Osborne, was also examined, and he kept the court in a roar by the oddity of his beha viour in the box. _ _ Samuel gi;iter was next put into the box, and, after a great many apologies for hie bad bookkeeping, introduced his journal, in which, amongst a number of business en tries, he had written, " Britton told me he was married to-day." Britton told vritnem that he had been giving a fortune away, and then be said he had married the plain tiff. Thought at first it was a joke, and entered it because he had always been under the impression that the plain tiff was Britton's wife. The Foreman having examined the book, pointed out that the witness's habit was to leavo a couple of blank lines between each entry, and that this note was written on one of such lines. Joseph Talbot also deposed that on the wedding day the parties came and had tea at his house. The intestate was much excited, and said he had been married. Cross-exam'ined—Met him at the Crown. He treated witness, and then witness took him home and gave him some tea. Two witnesses, a father and a son, named Bill's' . gliam, stated that, having accidentally met him at a public house in Birmingham, he bad told them that the plaintiff was his wife; that she had been a good servant, and that he had felt it his duty to marry her. They had come for ward because they had read of her committal by the Bir mingham magistrates for a conspiracy. The case was adjourned. ANOTHER BATHER DROWNED ni THE SERPER TINE.—Lsat evening, Mr. Bedford, the Westminster coroner, presided over a jury in St. George's Vestry-room, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, for the purpose of in quiring into the circumstances relative to the finding of the dead body of a man in the Serpentine, Hyde-p•rk, on Saturday morning last. John Green, a boatman in the service of the Royal Humane Society, said that, on Satur day morning last, he was poising along the south bank of the Serpentine when his attention was called to some clothes which were on the grass, apparently having no owner. The bathers at that time had all left the water, and were dressing. The drags were immediately used; and in about a quarter of an hour the body of the deceased was recovered, about ten yards from the shore, in about five feet of water, and exactly o pp osite to where the clothes were found. Mrs. Elisabeth Feat identified the body as that of her husband, and also the clothes as belonging to him. His name was William Peat, and he was 32 years of me. He was • maltster and brewer, in business at Ifidhurst, Sussex, and he left home , on Tuesday week, in the course of business; but she was unaware that he was coming to London. He had no friends in London, and had not been here for seven or eight years. She had no reason to think he intended to commit suicide. He was very fond of bathing, and was an excellent swimmer. She could not account for his coming -to London, unless while in a state of intoxication, to which he was addicted. The jury briefly returned a verdict of "Found dead."

SHOCKING DEATH OF A BOY.—Last evening Mr. William Payne, the Southw ark coroner, held an inquest at Gay's Hospital, touching the death of Joseph Richard Daniels, aged sixteen years, who was killed on the Thames while trying to escape from a police galley. The deceased was a lighterman's apprentice. On last Saturday, t etween eleven and twelve o'clock, he was rowing a sla along the river off Horselydown. He had then in his pons "on two pounds and a half of smuggled tobacco an od pound of foreign cigars. He saw a Thames police boat following him, and he rowed very fast in order to get out of their way. William Grace, a lighterman, said that he saw the deceased row the skiff between two barges, and the bow was caught between the bow of one barge and the stern of the other. It was crushed like a match-box, and when the barges separated it sank. The body of the deceased was shortly afterwards recovered, qquite dead. A Thames police constable said that he seated in the removal of the boy's body to the hospital. He was frightfully crushed. The cigars and tobacco were found on the body. The coroner having /rammed up, the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." FIRE IN CRIPPLECIATE.—Last night at a few minutes before nine o'clock, a fire of a destructive charac ter, and attended with great loss of property, broke out in the • of Mr. J. Linfoot, an umbrella maker, No. 100, Fore-street, Cripplegate. It commenced from some unknown cause in the back workshops, and in the course of a few minutes had gained such an ascendancy as to jeopardise the buildings near. A number of engines were in attendance, but the fire was not got under until near midnight, and before the premises of Mr. Pyman, No. 97, in the same street, as well as the fancy box fac tory of Mr. S. Smith in Rose-court, and also those of Mr. Kidd, a tailor, and Mr. Whitehead, a fishmonger, num bered respectively 41 and 42, in Milton-street, were damaged. The whole of the back workshops of Mr. Linfoot are destroyed, the costly stock in trade consumed, and the lower part of the dwelling is partially burned, and in some places gutted. Mr. Linfoot was insured in the Sun office. DR.
