With regard to pauper lunatilw, he proposed that the management of the internal affairs of the asylums should remain as at present iu the heeds of the magistrate*, but that the espeuditure should be controlled by the financial board. The boo. barouet referred at considensble length to evidence given before various committees for the purp o se o f showin g the necessity of the proposed change. As reganl e d the balances o f c o unty rece ipt s , be observed that very large amounts remained in the hands of many of the treasurers, sod in that report the present system required alteration. Sir 31. RIDLEY movol that the bill be reads second time that day six months. He gave credit to the boo. gentleman for not having introduced it in a party spirit but still he considered that the measure itself was not one which it was espedierit to pass.

The Wednesday mornin gs performance has not yet been determined upon ; t committee hoped to have had the gratification of an nouncing that they had succeeded in obtaining a new oratorio composed expressly for the occasion : but circum stances have prevented that expectation being realised. Mr. Costa will again be conductor, and arrangements have already barn made with Madame Sainton•Dolby and Mr. Sims Reeve.. The orchestral committee have wee. dined by direct communication with Madame Clara Novelle, that it sot that lady's intention to reappear is public. Cazareu. has long been felt how seriously the officinal of many earnest and faithful clergymen Is impaired by indistinct utterance, and incorrect reading. But there mewed so hope of improvement, while years were devoted to literature and science, but few mouths to theology, and not even weeks or da , s to the mode of sennoe•working, preaching, and public reading. Reread , however, Oxford and Cambridge have simultaneously moved is this matter by appointing lecturers on the English language, with special reference to the church service.. The bishops have signified their decided approval of the efforts now making. The following letter from the lord bishop of this diocese has been addressed to a rev. eestleman who has taken much interest in this subject :— Eccieshall, Staffordshire, Feb. 15, 1141.—My dear Skr,— None can attach more importance than I do to intelligent and correct,aadat the same same natural and devout, reading by 1 1 the clergy in our churches.

ExTIAOILDIN•ItY Traria - 1.% —A - most fearful storm occurred at Attleborough on Tuesday. Several vivid flashes of lightning were immediately followed by peals of thunder, but the fired fish and attendant clap of thunder seemed the effort of all nature to relieve itself of its overcharge. Numerous persons residing in different parts of the town describe themselves as being quite Manned and rendered helpless for several minutes after wards, and in other cases apparently speechless. A poplar tree standing near the Friends' Meetinghouse wits shack, ad a large portion severed and carried away many yards. Every windnw of the chapel and of two cottages adjoining was shattered. A large post seeming near was wrenched from the ground sad taken with fearful speed across the road, where it struck another post, breaking it is two. On the premises of a wheelwright about a quarter of a mile from the meeting.h was, a board wee wrenched off and taken some coesiderahle distance. Happily no serious calamity occurred to any living creature, although a child was so 'angularly affected as to have ita hands lifted to the top of the head, from which situation it, was unable to remove them for as hour or two.

Of barley there are two or three small parcels from Hamburg and Prussia. Otte a small arrival, nearly all Swedes, with a large parcel of rye from Dantxic. To-day the attendance of buyers at this market is thin, and business less active than on Monday ; but wheat of fine quality maintains that day's quotations for both English and foreign. The barley trade is very slow, and rather lower than last week on all descriptions. Oats, although there is not much doing, are firmer in pries than last clay.

I The premises in which the misfortune took place formed the angle of Broken-wharf and No. 44. Upper Thames street. They were in the occupation of Masers. J. Aitchison and Co., the brewers of Scotch and pale ales, Mann. Des mond and Co., Morn. Job and Co., merchants, and Mr. Mains, glass and lead merchant. A strong smeU of one was detected is the basement of Messrs. Aitchison . ' portion of the premise, when Mr. Broad, the gas engineer, living immediately opposite the house, was sent fur, to see whether or not the gam was escaping from the burners or pipes. Mr. Broad at ones sent one of his men, named Thomas, across the road to look to the fittings. He was in the act of demanding in the dark, when he noticed a man following him with a naked lighted candle. He told him to take the candle back again, fur if be came any further in all probability he would blow the house up. The man, however, followed him to the door of the basement, and the moment it was opened by Thomas, the gam came in contort with the flame of the candle, and an explosion ensued, blowing the front of the basement into the street. Thomas, the gasman, was blown down on his hack, his boots were forced off his feet, and it is stated that some of his toes are injured. The whole of his clothes were set in a blue, and another man, named Arthur, who jots about the neigh • bourhood, was also knocked down, and was very ba dly burned. The two unfortunate men were taken to St. Bar tholomew's Hospital, and there appears no chance of Thomas's recovery. SINOULAR AND FATAL Pm ACCIDENT NE. ,R HANLZT.—A singular and unhappily fatal accident oocnrrnt at the Deep Pit, near Hanley, on the night of the 9th init. The engine was drawing water, and was under the charge of a steady and reliable man, named Peter Holdcroft. James Bailey at this time was acting as banksman, and at nine o'clock he heard a crash, which he at first thought was orxi sioned by the cage slipping out of the rods. The immediate cause of the accident., - however, was the breaking of apiece of iron which discharged an important office in the mechanism of the drum, and the result was that the great mass of wood and iron of which it was composed, weighing between four and five tons, together with the ponderous wire rope which was wound round it, fell, and in its fall crushed through the flooring of the room and the elusive hams which supported it, descended upon the flooring of the second room, burst through a portion of that also, and then fell upon Holderok. who, it ap peered, had upon hearing the first crash left the handle of the engine and ran for safety into one oorner of the room. Unfortunately this was under that part of the ceiling of , the enene room through which alone the falling substance from above forced its way, and he was buried mammoth. Bailey and two other men at once commenced clearing away the debris, bet twenty minutes elapsed before they reached the body of Holdcroft, who was then quite dead. At an inqueet held before Mr. Harding, coroner, the jury returned a verdict of accidental death. Through this unfortunate occurrence three hundred men and boys will be throws oat of work for a fortnight —Wolverhampton Chronicle. 011BILNA2T MAIM AID MOM ii I sdi N lb ull S 5 87 xd U II 110 112 :di 1:3 h at 140 111 1 - T! iii. - ii "i so 1111 112 61 ell --- - 117 118 47 48 &St 46 1 91 9 - - 10; Ili 47 48 ill 30- 128{ di 11 11 pm 101 103 63 46 Of "I 101 e 102 l o as i Pol $ O 9 A 90 100 :I I% 33 Mi 72 76 114 114 0 86 zd SS 0 0 0 0 4 t: 1 4 1iti zd St 61 t 4 97 a 7 gt al 71 poi 1 Ma 1 pm 46 66 44 AS 79 61 N 101 N 11 6 N 101 11} 108 111 180 106 106 110 106 100 121 111 10 82 110 111 112 Ili 110 111 102 1N U 00 97 99 29 91 90 99 100 102 9 2 10 1 17 18 101 101 74 16 10 21 10 tg 136 1 112 114 in 114 UK 10 112 U 4 100 102 148 11$ 118 181 70 73 37 $ lit 14 117 119 IS I Pl' 1 !i• -.- 134 116 19 lit Si 93 Ili 1111 - 105 HI le le at a I € lll i Pin '. -.

Rentes opened at 68fr. 10c., being per cent. lower than yesterday. Consols are officially marked 91/ and 92 for money, and 92 t for the account.

The steamer Borussia has taken to-day only 10,0001. in specie for New York, while the New York has taken none on English account. Owing to the general impression that the Bank rate is about to be lowered t•, 7 per cent., the charge for the best bills in the open market has fallen to 7to 7k. The demand was slack, many persons deferring supplying themselves until Thursday. In the Stock Exchange the rate for loans on English Government securities continues at 6 per cent. Only 8,000/. in gold was bought by the Bank yes terday. The shipments of specie 61-day for New York by the steamers New York and Kangaroo will probably be very moderate.
