Tors b airs ASSIZaINLY-ROONS, ICZNNINOTON. A grand concert in aid of the funds of the church of St. Paul's, Lorrimoresquare, was announced to take place at the Lecture-hell, Carter-street, Walworth, on Thursday evening. But a few days before that fi xed for the concert • note was received by the incumbent, threatening a prose cution if be persisted in bolding the concert in the Lecture hall, the room not being licensed for entertainments. The note was addressed from the Royal Surrey-gardens, and signed by Marra. Colwell and Bishop. It appears that ac cording to the statute entertainments of whatever kind given in rooms not licensed for that purpose are liable to • similar fate at the instance of any person who chooses to oppose them. As musical entertainments am now the order of the day, and the number of unlicensed rooms in which they are constantly given legion, and as • share of the penalty goes to the interments, it will be well for the pro prietors of public rooms, and particularly the managers of mechanics' institutes, to be on their guard. Perhaps it would not be inadvisable to effect some slight modification of the original statute, now that entertainments of a mu sical nature have become BO canna' a feature of our social life. In consequence of the above mentioned impediment the concert was held at the Horns, Kennington, the little contretemps seeming to impart met to the occasion. The programme wee a very good one, and the list of minim an unusually attractive one for the Surrey side of the Thames. The services of ell who sang—Muse Rose Hence, Mien Thompson, Miss A. Thompson, Mies Fanny Huddart, E Perms, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Smalley, and Mr. Patsy—were rendered gratuitously. A &mut ts Covitr.—A scene of a very uniumal character occurred in the Dublin Court of Common Pleas on Friday. A motion came before Lord Chief Justice Monalme sad Justices Keogh and Christian, in the case of M'llahon v. Ellis, on behalf of the plaintiff, to have the defendant orally examined by the Master of the court, his answer to an interrogatory exhibited to him being alleged to be insufficient. The action was brought by the plaintiff to recover damages from the defendant, for having disturbed him in his office of weighmaster of the town of Clones. The interrogatory was whether the de. fondant had received certain letters, and the answer was that he might have received them, but could not, after dili met search, fled them. The plaintiff is Mr. John WMahon, • member of the bar, and the defendant, Mr. Nichols. Ellis, is • solicitor. Mr. B. M. Kelly, plaintiff's counsel, in the course of the argument submitted that the Court should believe one of two things, either that defen dant mede • wilful misrepresentation, or allowed some per son to abstract the paper, before he made the search. Defendant's counsel, Mr. Hercules Ellis, declared that no one but a scoundrel would make such a suggestion. The Chief Justice said that if such conduct occurred again he would repreas it by strong measures ; and Mr. Justice Christian observed that during the entire of his experience he never heard thy counsel use such an expression. Sub sequently Mr. H. Ells, in reply to the arguments of plain tiff's counsel, sought to introduce topics which the court considered irrelevant, and persisted, notwithstanding the declaration of the Chief Justice that they would hear no reference to matters intended to insult the court. Mr. Ellis replied that he and their lordships spoke in the presence of the representatives of the press, which drew from Mr. Justice Keogh the obeervatiou that unboutided forbearance had been exercised, and that had he been Attics{ alone Mr. Ellis would not be there addressing the court. Finally, the motion was granted, with costa. THIS EXTRAORDINARY TRAGEDY IN FLINT6HIRE. —We briefly stated on Saturday that an aged couple, named Edwards. residing at Summer-hill, Holywell, had lace foetid with their throats cut. The husband, who was 80 years of age, was dead ; but his wife, who is 75 years of age, was alive, and is likely to recover. It appeared from the evidence given at the inquest held on Thursday, that Ann Matthews, • niece of Edwards. went to her node's house about 11 o'clock on Wielnearlay morning, and finding a win dow half open where the door key was placed, she took the key, unlocked the door, went upstairs, and found her uncle dead in bed, mid her aunt 1340; by his side. She im mediately gave an germ, and went for Messrs. Lloyd and Davies, surgeons. The husband was dead , but the wife was still living. The wife, when interrogated by Mr. Lloyd, produced the razor with which she said she had murdesed her husband, declaring, as her motive, that " Edwards was troublesome and requ ir e d constant attention." The jury re. tamed • verdict of • Wilful murder" against Sarah Edwards. THZ MUISDEH OF • GIRL BY HER MOTHER AT Barwrot.—On Saturday the city coroner, Mr. J. B. Orindon, held an inquest at the committee room of St. Peter's Hos pital, on the body of Matilda 011iver, the little girl so inhumanly killed on the previous day by her mother, Catherine Oiliest, the wife of a porter, residing at No. 4, John-street, St,. Philip's, as detailed in our columns on Semi day. The mother was preaeut in custody. She was poorly but neatly del, and preserved a quiet and indeed despoodirm demeanour. It was stated in the room that the was respectably connected, being the niece of • deceased magistrate of Bristol. Several witnesses having deposed to the facts we have already publis h ed, and the coroner having duly cautioned the prisoner, she said:—" I have nothing more to say than that I and guilty of her death. It was entirely through my husband's ill-conduct to me. He has been ill-using me for sixteen years. I Lad three children bore dreamed, and one he killed before it was born by grasping me when I expected to becomes mother." A juryman enquired whether she disliked the child. The prisoner said she loved it dearly. The reason she hong 1 it was because she was weary of her life and would sooner ' die then live. The coroner then briefly summed tip, and I the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Catherine 011iver, the mother, who was committed on the 1 1 coroner's warrant for the crime. _ I SHOCKING MURDER IN PARSONSTOWN.

The deceased was found with his brains dashed out, apparently by a claiver, attention having been called to him by Briscoe, who said he bad murdered him. An inquest has been held, at which Briscoe was present. het during the proceedings he did not speak. He maintained his aelf•poesrssme, but at intervals, when the details of the fearful deed were given in evidence. his face became Rushed and red, and his eyes rolled in the head, and he stared wildly at the spectators which cooroled the court.

Denison at Madras, directing that the works should be carried on for a distance of about 228 miles as rapidly as possible. The directors refer, however, in detail to various circumstances under which, in consequence of the oourse pursued by government, melees expense" has been incurred, and the realisation of the company's objects retarded.
