The home havieg, on the motion of Earl GRANVILIMI, resolved itself Seto committee on the Celina (England) and the 'noes (Ireland) Bills, The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, in reference to the latter bill (which was taken iret), expressed his intention of props. nag two asneedments. The Ant was to strike out the clause vita+ required a rebate of religious professioe, which he was happy to ffed had been sleuth cute( the English Censuri He also Chewed that • piewinion in the English bill should be inserted is the premed bill—namely, that which required to be laid before parlimesistoi month before the act came isle operati p cs, a table af the allowances made to the several meow emloved upon the memo Lord VONTEAGLE regretted the omiesicei freest the Eaglish bill of the words requiring the religiosieprefeeion of persona to he stated, and, he could not for the eof him understand the principles upon which it had been ad vocated. Nor could he imagine how it could be sow tended that • statistical return &bowie* the re ligious faith of parties, sad made b 7 those parties themeelves, was so interfeirmice with religious liberty. He was disposed to think that the persons who ob;eeted to such a Mere had some other motive, namely, an appeehension that it would show that that amber. and impotence had been somewhat exaggerated. He therefore looked upon the omiaaice as a defect Is the bill. With regard to the preeest bill, similar particulars as to the religir , .s preheat's° el parties had been of eathed is Irelatcl on a Vrruer «ration without any difficulty or heartherniega, and be hoped the provision on that subject would be retained. The Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH observed that • great many years ago be had the curiosity to inquire how many meta there were in • town in the north of Ireland contain ing a population of 4,01.10, and be found that there were mitketi. (A laugh.) Earl GRANVILLE thought that the government Were perfelly justified in introducing the provision respecting religi..us profeseion iu the English bill, but as they foiled that it was offensive, whether rightly or wrongly, to the feelings of • large portion of the community, he was sure their lordships would be of opinion that they had taken • proper course in agreeing to it. withdrawaL As regarded the Irish bill the government were informed that the feel. ing was exactly the reverse, and that in Ireland no objection was made to a return showing the religious faith of the parties enumerated. Tlio Earl of ELLENBOROUGH moved the omission of wort. giving power to the collectors to take an =comet of " al! ..uch further pirticnlals" as they might he directed to ilyitnre into. Parliament having specified what ideate:s lim was to be obtained, it certainly did not mean to entrust the government with a general power to inquire into every. thing. Lori MONTEAOLE suggested that the words objected to might be found in the former Irish Census Act, and that if they were left out the collectors might be unable to make tee next census *qualm all respects to the last. He would, therefore, ask the noble earl to postpone hie amendment natil be ha.l an opportunity of referring to the List act. The Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH would have no objection od to ppone Lis motion until ;some future occasion, but he Lid 00. ;mum objection to the power proposed to be con• forred upon the lord-lieutenant of Ireland of inquiring into any matter on which lie might be curious, and the Wit of which iipiniry was to be borne by the country. Eari GRANVILLE said he was willing to refer the smatter to the Irish authorities, if the noble earl would've, to that course. He thought the bill ought to be as nearly as possible the same as that of IKSI. T 7 ie Lid of ELLENBOROUGH cemented to the seg. Th.. hill then Rand through committee mid was roparled to the h.,uee. CENSUS (ENGLAND) BILL Their lordships went into committee on this hill. The Earl of ELLF.NDOROUGH said he ob,eeted to this llaU because it required &great deal of unnecessary itforina• tam. What was the me at requiring the 1161t11” of every living person is England to he written down` There would 2: 4 .000,0004 names to be copied into • book, which no UM would ever mad, but which would make up about 30,40 volumes, aqmantity sufficient to sena as the ground• west for another Alexandria= library.

(Hear, hair.) COAST GUARD SUPERANNUATION. Mr. WATLINOTON asked the Secretai7 to the Adnil• ralty whether the case of the civilian chief officers in the Coast Onard Marries appointed prior to the 4th of Aligner, 11"_9, had bean under the ronsiderstion of her Majesty's go vernment ; and whether it was intended to grant any addi tional Miring allowance to these aeons. Lord C. PAGET replied that the euperanonation of civi liam belonging to the coast guard was provided for by the Kuperrinnasteos Act. The grievance complained of wee that the civilians were sot_ pleoad on wetly the mate foot ing am those who were hable to be sent to sea ; and he was not prepared to propose that that should be done. THE PAPER DUTI.II4. Mr. DISRAELI eked when the proiosod alteration in the enstoms duty on paper would come on. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I am sorry to say that I aunt , in the absence of my n o bl e friend, answer the question of the right hon. gentleman. I really do not know what arrangements my noble friend has made for the oonduct of the huskiess of the house. (A laugh.) Mr. DISRAELI—Perhaps the noble lord the Foreign Minister can give the house the information ? Lord J. RUSSELL—I cannot. (A laugh.) I have had a communication from my noble friend to the effect that he intended to make a statement oo the subject this evening. Mr. HORSMIN —ls the noble lord expected to come down to the house to-night ? (A laugh.) Lord J. RUSSELL—Yes. THE NAVY. Sir J. PAKENOTON moved that an humble Llamas be presented toherMajasty praying that she would be graciously pleased to issue a royal COUMIIIIIIIOII to consider the present system of promotion and retirement in the royal Davy, and the present pay and volition of the amend classes of naval officers, sad to report what changes therein are desirable, with a view to the increased efficiency of her Majesty's naval service. The right hon. baronet disclaimed any party spirit in bringing this subject before ths house—in point of fact be brought it forward in the same spirit as had actuated the able speech of the noble viscount on the subject of fortifications. He asked, in the name of the navy, and in the name of the country, for this ioquiry, which he was convinced was ne cessary for the naval service and the result of which he believed would prove satisfactory to the service. He certainly meant to take the sense of parliament on the subject ; and should call fora division on the motion if the Admiralty did nut grant him what lie naked. But he thought they must acknowledge that it was so far reasonable that they would delay the intentions he understood they had formed, and grant the commiasioo, for which it was then his duty to conclude by moving. Sir N. SEYMOUR seconded the motion. Captain TALBOT supported the issuing of a commission. The feel 7 elf the service was entirely in its favour. The Admiraft • nelson of retirement did not go f a r enoug h. Lord C. the right boo. baronet had enumerated the griev ances he had referred to. The only thing that surprised him was that Sir John, feeling his cue so poignantly, should not, while he was at the Admiralty—a period much longer than this present board had been in office—when this. thiap nest have been as patent to him at least as they wars sow, have taken steps during the time he held that high position to carry into effect all those schemes which ha now_ I proposed fur the basset of officers of the navy. Sir J. PALNGTON-8o I did. _ Lord C. PAciiiii;id the right hon. baronet had cer tainly dealt with the gas elier, bet he had done it in a very partial spirit, except as use class of officers, the surgeon, who no doubt sit, as they ought to feel, very gnat gratitude to ths right hon. baronet. Only the other day an application had come to the Admiralty, that the right hon. baronet's bust might be placed in the museum of Healer Hospital. (Laughter.) But why, when he wail dealing with the surgeons had he entirely overlooked the claims of all those other officers to whom he now referred— masters, paymasters, and engineers ; and why—which was a still stronger cue—had be neglected the chaplains, whose condition he now expressed such an earnest desire to im. prove! What did he do for the chaplains? He produced a scheme which war such an utter failure that the chaplains declined it, and preferred remaining under the old system of pay. This was a proof that the right hon. inns net, with all his desire to serve the navy, could fail as well as his neighbours. He (Lord C. Paget) was ready to admit that the Admiralty's scheme of retirement might be enlarged. If they could provide foe many very meritorious and excellent old officers in • more generous spirit it would be • great plea. sure to the Admiralty to do so. But they had to consider what wee done with regard to officers of the army ; and he repeated that it was after • careful comparison with the provnionf made for the officers of the sister orrice that this scheme had bees proposed for the consideration of the house. These matters were constantly before the Board of Admi ralty, and the pay and position of the officers were im proved as soon as it became manifest that it was necessary. He therefore thought it much better to trust to the depart ment for making thess changes than to appoint a commis. lion, which would only raise the expectations of the whole naval service, and anmettle the minds of all, for each person in sank • ease would ems forward with his grievance. (Neer, hear.) It nes mast injurious in his opinion that any ow in the position of his right hon. friend should declare that every class of officers in tee royal navy was discontented. (Hear.) It was a pose premium on discontent. (Hear.) But he lagged leave to deny that there was an discontent. They bad all as EN lishmen the privilege of grumbling, and a blessed privilege it was. (Laughter.) That there were occasional grounds for grumbling he admitted, but he denial that there existed any thing like general discontent; and as he had shown that the successiveßoards of Admiralty were ready to review the Rositimi of the officers, to improve their position, and in ert...Jr their pay whenever it seemed to be requisite to do so, he hopel the house would not agree to the motion of his right hoe. friend. (Hear.) Air J. EL PH I NSTONE said he was not convinced by the speech of the noble lord that the issuing of a commission was not desirable and necessary. Sir C. NAPIER said he had come down to the house with • firm determination of opposing the motion of the right hon. baronet, but he must say that since he had been in the service he never heard anything so fair and just as the right hooonrabio baronet had displayed in the house that evening. He sever before heard • gentle- man who had Mad the office of First Lord of the Admiralty come forward and state what was really the condition of Aliases of the navy. With reference to the mptaius, they had to bear • heavy expense out of their private resources, and if they did not keep gond tables, they suffered in the estimation tithe officers and crews; and any captain who had a wife and family to support no his pay, and wished to study economy, who ordered a mutton-chop and • potato for his dime_ r, would be looked epos as • poor, miserable, shabby devil— la laugh)—that could not afford to entertain his officers Such • man was unable to return the courtesies of foreign officers and main. tain the dignity and respectability of the British navy. The outfittiogs of captains io the navy coat them a coosioerable sum of money, and he believed it was impossible fora captain under an expense of MO/. to outfit his ship. This was the first time the house had ever known the condition of captains in the navy, and he gave the right hon. baronet his thanks for the true and just and honourable statement he had made to the house that evening. He hoped when this CUII . MiISIOI2 met it would inquire into the condition of the warrant officers, the petty officers, and the seamen. and still more particularly into the case of the warrant officers' widows, who had been treated in the most shabby manner. With regard to the question of promotions and retirements. be thought there ought to be some plan fur granting promotion to old officers, and I another plan for political interest, which of course would always have its effect. He should like to see some such plan as they had in the French navy, by which a certain number of officers were promoted by seniority, and a certain number by selection. The noble lord (Loyd O. Paget) was very fond of making emulations, and accused the late First Lord of the Admiralty of breeding discontent amongst the officen of the navy : but he (Sir C. Napier) thought when that right hoo. gentleman WIN first lord be did as much as he could do to ameliorate the condition of the officers, and left an example behind him to hie succession which they had not followed, and he thought those accusations were very unjust and ungenerous. He (Sir C. Napier) trusted this commission would be named, and that it would be • just commission, composed of men who really did know the service, who were independent men, and not afraid to speak their minds to the Admiralty. If • commimios of that sort was formed he thought • great deal of good might come out of it. Sir F. B.ARINO said he had no wish to pre vent inquiry ; on the contrary he was anxious that every case of grievance or supposed grievance should be invest'. gated ; but that the investigation should be by the re sponsible authorities, and nut by an irresponsible coin- Mr. B. COCHRANE treated the motion would be to a dimities sod carried, the necessity of which he ho ht was Built:featly proved by the difference of opinion which had been shown during the debate to exist between two ex-Piret Lords of the Admiralty. Mr. LLNDSAY was also of opinion that inquiry was ne. asesery. Mr. WHITBREAD said that, with regard to the corn plaint that the enema in the number of °Moors in the higher retired lists was a great evil, his reply wasi that they must always have, in ordinary times, a . large margin of ex perienced captains and higher officers, in order that, whew micessity aarreoas.,q they might be able, without much delay, to it out a conside able fleet. In case of emergency it would not be difficult to au up the places of the lower ranks of oecers, but it would be utterly impossible to raise up, is a short period, any large number of experienced Karel °Moen. Ayes as Noss ll9-33 PACKET AND TELEGRAPHIC CONTRACTS. Mr. DUNLOP moved the following resolutions :-- " That in all cootracta extending over a period of yeas; and creating a public charge, actual or prospective, entered into by the (armament for the conveyance of rods by sea, or fur the purpnee of telegraphic cornmunica. ions beyond sea, there should be inserted the condi:ion that the con tra -t shall not he binding until it hal lain upon the table of the House of Commons for one month without disapproval, nate., previous to the laps* of that pffiodOt has been ap proved of by a resolution of the house. That every such contract alien executed should forthwith, if Parliament lie then sitting, or, if parliament he not then sitting, within fourteen days after it aeteniiiles, he laid upon the table of the leiirse, ernropani-d by a minute of the Lords of the Treasury, setting forth the grounds on which they have p ro ceeded in authorising it. That in cases where any such contra-t reuutres to fis coriernicl by act of parliament, the bill fue that purpose should not be latruduced and dealt THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 1860. with as a private bill ; and that power to the government to enter into agreements by which obligations at the public charge shall be onciarbaken should nut be given in any private act." The CHANCELLOR of the ECCHEQUER expressed the thanks of the government for the MO and attention which the select committee on postal contracts, whereof Hr. Dunlop was chairman, had bestowed upon this subject, and the judicious character of their recommendations. He believed that the discretion hitherto exercised by the exe cutive in the confusion of their contracts required limita tion, and cordially supported the resolution now laid before the house. Mr. iiiiEBUCIE pointed out cases in which, if the re aolutiona were adopted, the house would assume and supersede the responsibility which ought to belong to her Majesty'. ministers. Sit O. C. LEWIS observed that the interference of par liament with the executive involved many points of deli. cacy and difficulty. He thought that with regard to con tracts which were prospective in character, and mu over long periods of time, such interposition was necessary, and would be applied without undue limitation either of minis terial power or responsibility by the present resolutions. The resolutions were then put seriatim, and agreed to unanimously. Leave vise given to Sir C. Wood to introduce three bills, em to remove doubts as to the authority of the Governor- General of India, or senior member of the council in the abuses of the president of that council ; another extend ing to members of the Indian service, in certain canes, the provisions of the Superannuation Act ; and the third to 'steed oertain peoru • ons for Admiralty jurisdiction in the adonis to her ajesty's territories in India. The Local Government Supplemental (No. 2) Bill was peened through committee. The Turnpike Arts Continuance Bill was mad a third time and The 111= e till went through committee. The Poor sera (Ireland Bill) was also passed through committee. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT AMENDMENT (No. 2) BILL. The order for the adjourned debate on the amendment on the third :ceding of this bill was called on. The original question was that the bill be read a third time, on which an amendment was proposed that the bill be rea d a third time that day three moods. The home, without discussion, proceeded to a division (at • quarter past 2), and the numbers were : For the third reading Against 97-74 The announcement of the numbers was received with cheering. The bill was consequently lost. SUPPLY. On the report of Supply bein g lirou g ht up, Mr. CHILDERS wiled attention to the circumstance of the balances remaining unexpended in the Treasury ; and said that in no less than fifteen cases the expenditure for the current year had been made, out of the balances of the last financial year, in excess of the votes. He thought this was a most important question, and was directly opposed to the assurances which had been given by the government. (Agreed, agreed.) After some remarks from Ur. A. SMITH, Mr. LAINO said at that hour of the morning (half-past two) it was hardly to be expected he should go into the complicated question of the balaness.lt was a mistake to sup c7otilt the governmentoould touch any pert of the balances the sum voted.

Tai Loci-ovr or Unisons IN Soya YORK anus —The lockout in South Yorkshire still continues, bat hopes are beginning to be entertained that it will soon be brought to a tlose. Work at all the collieries, with several exceptions, is all but at a standstill. The notices to the colliers to discontinue working terminated on Saturday, the 14th instant, and nineteen pita are now at a stand. The number of workmen in the district belonging to the Miners Union is about 4800,, and of these 1,800 continue to be employed by the 31esers. Charieeworth, Messrs. Coo p er, and others. The lockout., therefore, ntunberat least 3,000 per. sone, upon whom about 6,000 women and children are de peoden t for support. During the past few weeks the men have been . holding meetings throughout the district, in order to explain their grievances, whilst meetings have also been bald by their employers. The miners state that they are not to blame, but that the lock-out was entirely on the part of the masters themselves. They denied demanding any ad vance, and looked on the matter as a direct attempt on the part of the masters to epset their union. Allusions &realm made to the price of cools as compared with previous years, and the prices paid for getting it, in order to show that though the pnce of coal had advanced the wages of the miner bad been kept at the as seals. We understand that an agreement has been arrived at among the men as to the general terms upon which work shall be resumed, some minor matters of detail elope being left open for settlement. It is not probable, however, if such settlement takes place, that work will be resumed within a fortnight at moat of the pits. Our Barnsley COlTellpolldlll4 last night writes : " It is generally uoderstood that the disagreement between the masters and the men is all but settled. At the last meeting, at the Angel Inn, Doncaster, on Friday last, eseta'n propositions were reed from Mr. Michell, the seers -107 to the Miners' Union ; and after some disclaim it was speed that the men at Mr. Clarke's collieries should resume work at former rates, the eorfe, in cam of being sent up in an immarketable state, to be stopped. With regard to Mn.ess Sturges, Paley, sad Co., it was agreed that they should be paid the same prices as the Honeywell and Mount Oeberne collieries. At Messrs. Smith, Can, and Smith's, the wages paid at Mears. Cooper's were to be paid ; and to farther test the colliery, it was agreed that five men should be ted by the men, and Ave by the masters, who work for ten or twelve days to see what really could be earned. These terms had to be submitted to the men, sad being a Lon of compromise it is generally expected will be aecepted.—Lerde Mowry.

GOODWOOD RACES.—ToviDiy. The interest which Goodwood races excites amongst all classes of sporting men has suffered no diminution, and the popularity of the week, amongst holiday folk and the aristo cratic portion of the community who take no active part in turf pursuits, has been rather extended than decreased. Although the programme of the first day, by a very judi cious arrangement, no longer include' the Goodwood Stakes, which is now reserved to strengthen the attractions of the Wednesday, yet the attendance far exoeeded the average. The usual hospitalities of Goodwood House will be exercised during the week, and the Duke of Richmond is already en tertaining a large and distinguished circle of visitors. Per haps the Grand Stand and enclosure were never more thronged with "divers great and noble personages." The weather was not unpropitious, although a few alight showers fell in the course of the afternoon but they were neither heavy enough nor of ridden! duration to create alarm amongst the ladies present for the safety of their dresses and bonnets. The recent rain had produced the most beneficial effect upon the course, which was well topped with herbage, and quite springy and elastic to the tread. The visitors to Goodwood were presented with one novel incident. On former anniversar ies of the meets they were accustomed to see the wheat falling before the sickle of the reapers, and being piled in golden sheaves. Now the corn was green and growing, and haymakers were employed in the park. The arrangements for the recep tion and comfort of the visitors were unexceptionable, and on the Cup day they will be particularly conducive to the comfort of the large multitude of people that is expected. A strong detachment of the A divison of police were on the course, under the experienced Superintendent Walker and Inspector Richardson, and the Grand Stand and enclosure were guarded by Inspector Thornton, of the detective force. Sergeant Brown occupied his usual post at the entrance of the building. The same officials will, of course, be on duty throughout the week. To the civility and attention of Captain Valentine the company were par ticularly indebted, and they who had business to transact were provided with every facility by him, their require ments being met with a studied attention, which wee the more appreciated because it was courteously bestowed. The majority of the fields were numerically insignificant. The Stewards' Cup, however, commanded thirty-one com petitors., and furnished a race the prettiness of which is only paralleled by that which annually takes place at Ascot for the Royal Hunt Cop. Maggiore throughout the morning and up to the very moment of starting was an immense favourite, but after the soccer of Crater for the first race, Seclusion became a powerful rival to her in the betting. So wide was the range of 'peculation, so numerous were the books "opened " on the race, and so varied were the fancies of backers, that it was almost impossible to com pile an accurate list of prices at the close. Men " laid " according to their books, and the odds offered against a horse at one end of the enclosure were greatly different from those offered at the other. The quotations which we have appended, however, will indicate as nearly as_ possible the true tons of the market. They who supported Maggiore were not far out in the reckoning, but Bweetsance against whom 20 to 1 was laid, and who has always had a good private reputation, succeeded in pulling the fieMers through. The dead bead for the lavant Stakes, which was run off after the last race, detained the company on the course upwards of half-an-hour after the time appointed for the closing of the day's sports.

Al they ap proached the Stand enclosure, Crater, who seemed beaten, "stuck to" Zuyder Zee, who compounded before reaching the Stand rail; and Gaspard and Bel Ripener went in second and third. The favourite widened the distance be tween himself and his pursuers at every stride, and won by three lengths ; two lengths between the second and third.

HOME CIRCUIT.—Lawas, Jviy 24. Cow Siux. —(Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn.) George Ball, a young man of gentlemanly appearance, surrendered to take his trial for the manslaughter of Sarah Anne Ball. . . Mr. Barrow conducted the prosecution. The priwmer wu defended by Mr. Serjeant BalLatina and Mr. Marshall Griffith. _ . . The learned counsel for the prosecution, in his opening to the jury, said that, although this case was not one of the wavated character that had already formed the subject of inquiry at these mazes, none that he had ever heard of was more painful and melancholy in its details. The per son who had lost her life resided in her lifetime in Lewes, and was the mother of the prisoner—a mother to whom he was bound to state there was no doubt the pi-teener was warmly attached, and towards whom it was not for a moment supposed, or suggested, that he would show my conduct inconsistent with that feeling. The charge against him, however, was that in the eye of the law he had been guilty of such negligence and carelessness as rendered him amenable to the charge that was now preferred against him, and if the evidence should establish the fact that he had really exhibited caret/einem or negligence, and that the death of the deceased resulted from it, it would be their painful duty to find him guilty upon the present indict ment, notwithstanding that they should at the same time be of opinion that he never entertained the slightest inten tion to cause the fatal catastrophe. The deceased lady at the time of her death was 66 years of age, and she was very ailing and wee subject to violent fits of sickness, and the prisoner, who had been brought up to the medical profes sion, and who was possessed of considerable skill in that profession, although he was not in regular practice, attended upon his mother for those ailments, and it ap peared that he was in the habit of prescribing to her small doses of rrussic acid, of Mcheele's strength, which was the kind generally used, and this treatment appeared to have afforded the deceased considerable relief. On Wednesday, the Ilth of July, the deceased complained of being poorly, and the prisoner procured a grain or sixty minima of prussic acid, from Mr. Roswell, a dentist in this town, and he ad mininistered to the deceased in the early part of the day a dose of four minims of the acid, and it seemed to do her good, as she stated she felt better, and in the evening went out for a walk. Upon her return she complained again of being unwell, and the prisoner administered to her another dose of pritesic acid, and he was afraid that upon this coca shin be administered a deadly quantity, for the deceased had hardly time to go up to her bedroom when she became insensible, and died almost immediately afterwards. The learned counsel then explained to the jury that three minims was the ordinary dose of prussic acid that was administered by medical men, and that ten would certainly cause death, and he said that upon the bottle that had con tained the prussic acid which the prisoner obtained from Mr. Roswell on the morning the deceseed died being exa mined, it was found to contain only 2.`i minims, thus leaving 31 minima altogether unaccounted for ; and he was afraid the jury would not be able to come to any other conclusion than that the prisoner had risibly administered this deadly quantity to the deceased. The learned counsel then called the attention of the jury to the law upon the subject, and out that if the evidence should make out the facts as he had stated them, the prisoner, in the eye of the law, would have been guilty of tho offence of manslaughter ; a nd how ever painful it might be to their feelings, it would be their duty to my so by their verdict. Witnesses haring been called in support of the learned counsel's statement, Sergeant Ballantine, in an able speech, addressed the jury for the prisoner. He said it was of WM. idle to suppose in ordinary parlance that the pri soner had committed a crime. He was a good and affec tionate son ; he watched over his mother with the most tender care and sasiduity • and all that could be said against him was that by an unfortunate and melancholy accident he had assisted in causing her death. To my that he was guilty of an offence like manslaughter under such circumstances must be repug• nant to the feelings of every one, and he felt assured that when they considered the facia of the case, they would not do such violence to their feelings, and at the same time brand the unhappy gentleman at the bar as a felon for the remainder of his life by finding him guilty of such an offence. He then proceeded to contend, that in the first place it was not at all clear that this unhappy lady had died from an excessive dose of prussic aci.L The medical evidence was very vague upon that subject, and the chemist who had sold the article could not give them any information as to its strength. The prisoner ought not to be convicted because the I article he administered happened to be of excessive strength when he was entirely ignorant of the fact ; and he I could not help expressing his opinion that it was a very un satisfactory state of things for the public that they should be liable to have such articles administered to them. As to the suggestion that the death had been caused by the ad ministration of au excessive dose of this deadly ingredient, it appeared to him that the evidence by no means was suffi cient to establish that fact, and although it was represented that Is certain quantity only remained in the bottle, and from that it wee sought to be inferred that the remainder had been given to the deceased, yet the jury would not for get that there was • broken cork in the bottle, and for any thing that appeared to the contrary a considerable portion of the liquid might have escaped. The learned serjeant concluded his address by expressing a confident opinion that the jury would come to the conclusion that the prisoner had already suffered quite misery enough for his share in this unhappy transaction, and that they would not add to it by branding him with • disgrace which must be indelible. The Lord Chief Justice summed up, and having explained to the jury the law in reference to anch an inquiry, he pro ceeded to call their attention to the facts, and he observed that the fact of the cork being broken and defective was certainly an important matter for their consideration, as it admitted the probability that the acid might have escaped from the bottle accidentally, and there would be an utter absence of evidence that an .excessive die had been admi nistered by the prisoner. The jury almost immediately returned' • verdict of Nut Guilty. The prisoner, who during the trial appeared to be over whelmed with grief, was ordered to be immediately dis charged from custody. Peter Detedeey, 55, who appeared very excited and who presented the appearance of a man of weak intellect, was Indicted for the wilful murder of Samuel Rowland. Mr. Gates and Mr. Rowland conducted the prosecution Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. Ribton defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was formerly • gardener, and that about ten years ago he married the daughter of • person named Wells, sad his father-in-law put him into pos session of a small farm called Pigland Farm, in the neigh bourhood of Storrington, in this county, for which he was to pay him 121. • year. The prisoner seemed to have been very unfortunate, his wife three or four years ago became fusses, and he got into difficulties, andwaa unable to pay his father-in-law the rent that was agreed upon, and in May of the present year be owed him 49/. 7s, for arrears of rent. Mr. Wells, finding lie could not get his money, and apparently thinking that the pcuoner wll// getting further into difficulties, it appeared resolved upon recovering his debt, and he applied to Mr. Challen, an auctioneer and house agent at Storrington, upon the subject, and instructed him to distrain upon the prisoner for the amount of his rent It seemed that Mr. Chalks was acquainted with all the parties, and he was anxious that some amicable arnusgement should be made, and on the 29th of May the prisoner and his father-in-law met at Isis Mike. The de. ceased Rowland nes also present, and it would seem that for some reason or other which did not appear the prisoner entertained • dislike to him, and refused to go into the office while he was there, and he went out and remained outside. An arrangement was then come to by which the prisoner agreed to give up two cows to his father-in-law, end also a heap of manure, in lieu of the rent that was owing, and it was also arranged that the prisoner should give up the cottage he lived in as soon as his father-in-law provided him with another. and the latter undertook to pay his rent so long as his daughter lived. After this had been settled, it appeared that the prisoner went to the Half•muon public-house at Stomngton, where several psalms were present, and he inquired of them if any of the Wells or Rowland party were there • and upon their answering in the negative, he exclaimed, " Hhe comes to Pi land k arm be will not go away alive. I've got • gun I'll sell for a few shillings." According to arrangement the cows were to be taken away on the same day, and at five o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Challen went to the farm, Sc' companied by Rowland, who was to assist him, and the prisoner again appeared very angry with the decease', and ordered him to leave, and he replied, " I ern your friend, and not your enemy as you suppose." The cows were then about to be taken away, and .in order to avoid causing any excitement to the prisoner's wife, it was arranged that they should not be driven past the house, but should be taken b another read, and the prisoner said be would go and fetch the key of a gate that was required to be opened for that purpose. The deceased was at this time standing close to the house, and, as the prisoner passed him, be ap peared very excited, and, addressing him, he said, " You are as big a black as the others ; I will go and get a gun eel shoot you." He then went into his cottage and took up a gun, and a woman who was present went up to him and tried to prevent him from going out, but he rushed past her, went up to the dm-moed, and, without saying • wonl, shot him dead. The prisoner then ran away into an adjoin ing plantation, where he was found shortly afterwards hanging from a tree, sod when he was taken down he again got away and afterwards made two attempts to cut his throat. In the course of the case it appeared that the pri ' steer was a weak-minded MILD, and that he was very much excited at the time of the oecturence, and there was reason to believe that be was under the impression that his father in-law intended to turn him out of his house and send his wife to the lunatic asylum. Serjeant Ballantine made a very effective speech on be half of the prisoner, and lie urged that he war in such a state of mind at the time that the jury would be justified in coming to the conclusion that he was sot criminally responsible for his actions, and that at all events he ought not to be convicted for • higher crime than manslaughter. The Lord thief Justice having summed up, the jury retired, and iu • short time they returned into court and found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter, but recom mended him to mercy, on account of the circumstances under which the act was committed. Sentence was deferred. EPPS'S HollatOlvaTlllo COCOA. Ile delioions arm; tel soweeesek asd invigerlding Power Iwo Pro eared lie general adaptlae as • breakfast beverage.

There are offers making for most markets, but at low prices, hut which were not accepted in all instances. In clothe ther e is more doing for Ind* including 40.ineh sbirtinp, mad.- poilams, and jacconets, but chiefly in consequence of sellers being willing to take lower prices than they would last week. For long cloths, T cloths, and domestics, the market was depressed, and sellers had to take rather lower primaw than they were willing to accept last week. For 3b-inch shirting* and printers lower prices were also taken. WOOLLEN.—Lsens, JUL"' 24.—We have had a flat market this morning. It was indifferently attended, and only a very moderate business was transacted. MAN UFACTITRES. —H DOE RSPIELD, JULY N.—There has been a moderate amount of business doing to-day, bat buyers exercise great caution in their purchases, owing to the present cold unseasonable weather, which causes some fears as to the result of the approaching harvest. WOOLS.—Hunomusrmu, JULY 24.—The price of wools is considered too high for buyers to make large purchases, and they are consequently baying only in small quantities, anticipating prima will be a little easier. CORN.—Hutt., JOLT 24.—At this day's market a small supply of English wheat ; fresh qualities in request at fully 2s. per qr. over last week's currency; best reds made 61s. to 625., and chambered lots 601. per 5041b5. ; foreign Cads numerous retail buyers at the improvement noted during the week.

LZIDIS, deur 24.—(From the Circular of Messrs. Dunne and Co.)—We have had a slight shower of rain to-day, but the weather amain a little more settled, although it is still very cold and ungenial. The show of fine new wheat diminishes most perceptibly, and it is with difficulty our millers can supply their wants ; such qualities meet a ready sale at an advance of 2s. to 3s. from last week's rates, but old and common descriptions are not yet freely taken. Barley as before. Beans and oats rather improved in value. Other articles unsltered. Lrviamot, JULY 24.—We had • good attendance of millers at our Corn Exchange this morning, and with an active demand froni the interior sellers of good American descriptions found no difficulty 111 obtaining the advance of 11. to 2d. per cental. Flour had only a moderate in quiry, but was not to be had udder an advance of fully 6d. per barrel and sack. Indian corn was held firmly for Friday's prices, but the business passing was only in retail. Oats and oatm eal steady at full prices. Deane were the tarn better with a fair demand. Peas and barley un altered. The market closed with less briskness. LYNN, itf LT 24.—Weather since Sunday has been very unsettled with a good deal of rain.

Yesterday we had a thoroughly wet day, accompanied by a high wind, which coining at the critical period of blooming, is causing apprehensiou to be entertained for the wheat crop. To-day is dull and gloomy, with wind from the north. At our market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the growers, and having several parcels of Scetch wheat up and some arrivals from abroad, there was is consequence more than an average supply offering ; nevertheless a good business was done, chiefly in Scotch wheat, at la. advance, new yellow making 60e. ed., white, file. to 64e., according to quality, whilst south country red, weighing 59 and 69111 a., realised 625., and extra Suffolk white, up to 66a., per 5041 he.

Flour in good request at Saturday's rates; choice households, 425., and whites up to 445. per sack. Our millers raised flour to 455., but until this price is firmly established we defer altering our quotations. Grinding barley in steady re quest ; good sweet foreign making 355. 641. to 365. per 448th'. without difficulty. In malt, beans, or peas little stirring. Oats pointing up and likely to does. SALISBURY, JULY 24.-Today's market was very thinly attended, with a meagre 'apply of all descriptions of grain. Inconsequence of an advance of from Is. to 2s. per qr. being asked and ultimately obtained, very little business in wheat was transacted. Thus advance in price is mostly attributable to the unfavourable change in the • eather, the heavy rains having much laid the crops of both wheat and barley. Flour advanced le. per sack, with a hand-to-month demand. Malt unaltered in value, and scarcely anything doing. Other grain was in slow demand, hut prices firm.

CATTLE.—SALISMALT, JULY 24.—At our market to-day there was a very limited supply of beasts of the beat quality, but, notwithstanding a thin attendance of buyers, a brisk trade was effected at full prima. Inferior animals were more plentifully supplied, and - the trade was extremely slack, though former high terms were fully supported. There was also a large supply of mach Alderney cows and heifers, which. however, met with a slow sale.
