LONDON COAL AND WINE DUES CONTINUANCE BILL Viscount 1101.1ESDALE understood from the right hon. gfttleitian that the object of the measure was not to extend lint to contract the area of the tax ; but he found that Northtleet, and Dartford would become liable to it foe the first time if the bill primed. .tldermAn sl ON EY denied that there was any necessity t r w:ot for the report of the committee, for the subject had &treaty been enquired into four times during the last seven 'tan. Neither could it be said that the City had made any l a c ce,,p er use of the money which it had raised by the tax. Eioensavet improvenienta were needed in the metropolis, which were for the benefit rather of the nation at large than of the citizens ; and he did not know bow the money could be raised an a better manner. The honour. able gentleman the member for Lambeth said that ■ tax upon coals was as had ax one upon corn. But the tax upon coeds did not affect any poor man beyond fiat. or Is. in the course of the year. (Oh.) He maintained that there were many poor persons who did not consume more than a ton in a twelvemonth. Besidee, there wax no demi more interested in metropolitan improvements than the labouring population, for it provided them with a great deal of lii„thly remunerative employment. The opposition to the bill proceeded from nothing . but a feeling of jeslousy which metropolitan members felt towards the City. He could wish that the boroughs which they represented had lord mayors and corporations, but the fact that they had not was no reason why the City should give up its ancient rights. (Cheers.) Sir J. SHELLEY felt precluded from entering upon any diseusdon of the bill, because he was a member of the com mittee ; and on that account he should support the amend ment. Indeed, it did seem to him a very extraordinary course for the right hoe. baronet to take, to give his support to the appointment of the committee, Sllll then, while it bod the subject under its coesiderstion, to bring forward the second reading of this bill (Hear, hear.) Sir W. CUBITT denied that the object of the com mittee was to inquire into the right of the corporation to the tax. If such had been the avowed purpose of the motion for its appointment be very much doubted whether the house would ever have been induced to accede to it. Meer, hear.) Neither did he sgree that there was no need for promsling at once with the bill. In times like these six weeks were a long period. A great deal had been said about the right of the City to collect the 4.1. and to do what it liked with it. That no doubt was the fact ; but the corporation took far higher ground. They asserted not ouly that they had pmperly expended the pro ceed, of the tax, but that they had also laid out a great deal mom upon objects of public benefit. (Hear, hear.) Every one that ever watt through the City must be aware how pressing a demand there was for improreinente ; and the only mode in which money could be raised for them was by taxation. The only question, therefore, was whether that taxation should be continued in a form to which the public had been long accustomed, and which pressed very lightly upon them, or whether they should attempt to frame some untried scheme fur raising the money by means which they might fancy would press upon the inhabitants with less weight! He did not think himself that there was rattly any possibility of finding a better tax. (Hear, hear.) Cannon street they knew had cost half-a-million ; and the melioration had been compelled by clamour to spend a scarcely smaller amount in the removal of Smithfield. market. They bad also had to spend 100,000/, in buildiog a prison, for which • far leas sum would have sufficed if it had been intended for the criminals of the City alone. There were many other special circumstances in the case of the City which took it out of the category of ordinary towns. It was, for instance, seated on the bank of a broad ricer, and it had several bridges, each of which cost a malice. It was absurd to sup pose that • town of 1:30.000 inhabitant, could itself bear all these espouses. With the increasing traffic of the City, it would be as impossible to go on without further im provements as it would be to find as easier mode of raising the necessary funds. There was no tax collected with lees expense. When a collier came into the river a clerk had merely to go on board and ask for the money, and it was paid without any detention or personal inconvenience. He should not like to see the town surrounded with walls and a hundred gnus, at thirty of which DO commodity was allowed to enter, sad at the remaining entente octroi was ! taken on all that came in. But it was absolutely aaossaary to devise some means of indirect taxation, for they had already carried direct taxation to Its utmost limit. Depend upon it, if they threw away this impost epos cotes they would involve themselves in difficulties from which they would fled it no easy matter to extricate themselves. Sir (I. C. LEWIS movoatieaetned reading of this bill.

The present measure was introduced with the object of nirryiret that recommendation into effect. The main feature of the bill was to continue for ten yearn the nine limey duties described in that resolution. With regard to the question of the Thames embankment, the committee recommended that that great and useful work should be executed. siuce that time her Majesty's goveintnent had issued a commiesion composed of persons having a profee iiional kaowledge on the subject, and others who were likely to be affected by the execution of the work, with • view of whetting the hest of the different plans piopowl. The ilea mon of that conimissiou would be of an engineering elm racter, and when their report we, made, the house would be in a position, if it thought fit, to I. eisliste upon the subject ; alloy when they agreed to • plan. it would then be in their power to appropriate the produce of the nine- penny coal dm', towards, the expense of the eiolenkment. In eddition to oinepenny duties the lidl would likewise continue the f eartemny now levied by the City. 'flint tax, I Ice understood, had been levied oteitionous:v by the city for many years.

(i rr, UN.) We. it t h e n desirable or sat thot This case, it appeared, was removed by certiorari from the Middle-sex Sessions. The prosecutor was a geutletnau named Hackblock, residing at Reigate. and the charge arose out of the following circumstances:—lt appeared that the defendant sal some other penons had established a sort of horse registry in the metropolis, and professed to act as brokers between the sellers and purchasers of horses, the principle of their busies. being to receive a commissiuo of five per cent. from both parties. In January last the defen dant sent to Mr. Cox, a solicitor io Coleman-street, a list of horses that were upon his register, and it appeared that at this time the prosecutor, who was a friend of Mr. Cox. was io weut of a pair of carriage horses, and be asked the defen dant to let him know if be heard of two that were likely to suit. In the mune of a few days the defendant wrote a letter to the effect that he had found • pair of horses that would just suit, and that the owner wanted 150/. for them. lint that alter • great deal of trouble he had induced him to take 135/. for them, but not • shilling lea. This was communicated to Mr. Hackblock, who went to see the horses, and liked them, and agreed to purchase them if they were passed by a veterinary surgeon as sound. The horses after this were sent to Mr. Field, the veterinary surgeon, to be examined, and he gave • certificate that was satisfactory to Mr. Haekblock, who agreed to give the sum mentioned for the horses, and he handed to the prisooer 140/. in Bank of England notes, 135/. of that sum being the price agreed upon, fit 15e. for commission, and le. for the groom. The hones were then delivered to Mr. Haokblock, and shortly afterwards one of them was discovered to be restive, and unfit for the purpose for which he had purchased it, and he was therefore anxious to return them. This, however, he found he could not accomplish, and upon his making inquiry he ascertained that the defendant had purchased the horses in question from the person to whom they belonged for 110/., and that he hadisocketel the 25/. in excess of that sum that was paid to him by the prosecutor. It also ap. peered that the highest price ever asked for tho horses wee 120/ and that the sum of 150 1 . was never mentioned. The Recorder, at the close of the case for the prosecution, expressed his opinion that the present indictment could not be supported. lu order to make out ► charge of obtaining money by false pretences it was necerisary to prove that there was a false statement to the knowledge of the party in reference to some existing fact, but here, all that was proved was that the prisoner stated that he should pay over the money he received from the prosecutor to some other person at a future time, which, in his opinion, did not amount to a false pretence. The jury, therefore, under his lordship's directions, re turned a verdict of Nut Guilty. There was another indictment against the defendant, in which he w.is charges' with the offence of larceny arising out of the same transaction, but no evidence was offered in support of it, and the jury, therefore, again returned • verdict of .Not Guilty, and the defendant was ordered to be discharged from custody. • One of the most fearful catastrophes that has perhaps ever taken place in the centre of a populous city oc curred at twenty-five minutes past 9 o'clock on Saturday night, when no fewer than six human beings perished under the most melancholy circumstances. They did not lose their lives where danger could be even remotely anticipated, but in one of the ordinary conveyances by which thousands upon thousands passed year after year in safety to and from their homes. Shortly before 10 o'clock a report ran through the city that one of Mr. Wilson's omuibuses had run into the Urand Canal, and that all the passengers were drowned. This statemeut wiw at first regarded as an idle and heartleas rumour, but in a sheet time it was proved to be unfortunately too true. About the hour indicated persons, very many, were to be seen rushing in the moat distrac ted haste towards the Por tobello bridge of the Grand Canal, to ascertain if any of their friends or relatives were amongst the ill-fated dead ; others were to be seen driving in all directions to ascertain whether the members of their families who had been at the theatre, or whose business detained them in tows, had come out by the fatal bus. Old people who had not stirred out of their homes after nightfall for years were to be met with asking with painful eagerness whether " the bus was goiug out or coming in," and years of misery was con centrated in thousands of anxious faces apprehensive of the worst. Some said the omnibus was going "to Rathmines" and others asserted that it was coming "to town, " and between the conflicting statements people were sy per. plexed with the excitement of fear for the safety of those who were dear to them. The streets leading to the scene of the disaster, very soon after the report obtained circu lation, became blocked with crowds, and all the approaches to Portobello-bridge were soon rendered impassable. In the distance was to be heard nothing but the coutinuous and mournful fall of the water over the canal floodgates, and the exclamations of those who were trying to render assist ance to those who had just passed beyond the reach of human aid, and that, too, within a few yards of hundreds of brave men, who would willingly have risked their lives to save the sufferers ; but effective help was impossible. The catastrophe was as instantaneous as it was terrible. Herbert William. , 44, a very gentlemanly looking man, described as a surgeon, pleaded guilty to several indict ments charging him with embezzling money, the property of the Royal Medical Benevolent College. There were also four indictments against the prisoner, charging him with forging receipts, with inteut to defraud the urns institution. To those charges the prisoner at first pleaded not guilty, but he eventually withdrew that plea and confeend judgment. Mr. F. H. Lewis, who appeared for the prosecution, in. formed the court that the prisoner had been employed as assistant secretary and collector to the Royal Medical Be nevolent College, and be had taken advantage of this posi. Mon to keep back several annul of money which he had received on account of the institution, and ho had also obtained money by means of forged receipts. The Recorder inquired the total amount of money that the prisoner had misappropriated ? Mr. Freeman, the Secretary to the Institution, said that he believed the entire amount was about 2001. He also said that the prisoner hail been connected with the College almost from its formation, and the utmost confidence was reposed in him. He received a regular salary of 1001. a year, and he was also paid commission that would amount to between 80f. and 401. mom _ _ Mr. Cooper, who appeared for the prisooer, said that he was SIDZiOUII to lay some facts before the court in mitig6tion of punishment, and the Recorder respited the judgment, in order to afford him an opportuuity of doing so. Mr. lIANKEY oPpreed the adjournment of the debate. No better mode of raising fonds for effecting improvements bad been suzzeetwi than the coal-tat, which woe easily collected sad fell lightly on the poor. In the immediate scene of the dreadful occurrence was now being enacted ono of the moat heartrending eights of horror that the mind can picture to itself. Near one of the great thoroughfares from the southern side of the city, and in a chamber of one of the locks of the Grand Canal, six human beings—six fellow-citizens— were struggling for their lives within the narrow area of an omnibus sunk be neath the water. It was a saddening, a sickening sight to look upon, and deep and intense must have been the pain it created in every - - heart of the vast multitude which surrounded the scene of the calamity. Men called on men in loud and vehement language, and each vied with the other to render assistance ' • but no help, no matter bow vigorous, could avail. Midst the darkness ren dered melancholy visible by the sickly flickering. of the lamps on the bridge, excited crowds pressed forward to get a view of the omnibus in which were etigulphed the lifeless bodies of six persons. The din and confusion which pre vailed were great, and the effect was much aggravated by the desperate struggling of the horses as they are and fell, snorting, reighrog, sod plunging in their death agonies. Impetuously, desperately they fought, and vainly strove to sink their iron-shod hoofs in the whiny walls of the lock, but the sullen water still kept rolling over those who but a few minutes before were full of hope and life ; and who, no doubt, were expected at their firesides at that particular moment. It was one of those eights which live in the mind as a great horror. Accident* at sea, involving loss of life, railway disasters or shipwrecks, or death resulting from causes in which peril is incurred, are things for which people are more or less prepared ; but six human beings to be drowned in an omnibus before the eyes of thou lauds le • terrible novelty, a fearful warning, a desperate illustration of the insecurity of life, even where it was re garded to be most secure and protected. While the most strenuous efforts were being made to rescue the drowning, many an anxious heart besought in vain the surging crowd to make way to let her or him pins, to know if father, brother, sister, son, wife or husband was amongst the dead. One young lady, who believed that it was the 'bus for Rethniines, in which her sister was to have gone home, and thinking that her sister had been drowned, became so districted that she seemed to hare lost her reason fur the time, from the very intensity of grief, and while bewailing the loss which she thought she had sustained the afflicted creature unconsciously walked into the water. She was rescued from what appeared to lie certain death by the praiseworthy efforts of two gen tlemen, who saved her by wading nearly up to their shoul ders into the renal. This is only one of the many painful episodes of this appalling calamity, as from one end of Rathmiues to the other, in every house a member of whose family was absent there prevailed the must agonising ap prehension. The omnibus " Favourite," No. 7, due at Nelson's Pillar at half-past nine o'clock on Saturday night, was proceeding into town at the usual pace, and when it had rimmed at the centre of Portobello-bridge, the conductor, Patrick Costello, called to the driver, Patrick Hardy, to " pull up." The driver stopped at the point where he was erected, when Mr. John Keeley, of No. 4, Camden-villa, got out, along with a child who accompanied him. There then remained in the 'bus six passengen—three ladies, two male passen gers, and a child. The conductor gave the usual signal. " all right," and, it is stated, when the driver proceeded to make the horses go onward, they both got restive, anal began to hack in the direction of Hathmines. He turned their heads to the eastward for the purpose of making them go up the incline of the bill at an amrle. This involved the partial locking of the fore wheels, and the horses continuing to back, brought the 'bus round the south-western side of the bridge, on the road near the old turnpike. The horses still kept backing, despite every effort to urge them for ward, and the hinder part of the vehicle came in contact with the wooden harrier between the lock and the road, but after some slight resistance the frail timber work gave way, and backwaida rolled the 'bus down to the very edge of the stone- b uilt basin, in which the disturbed and dirty water foamed below at a .listauce of not less than 15 feet. This was a truly terrific sight, and it instinctively close their eyes when they contemplate it. _throe this stone prismied water, from which there was no escape by day, much less in "the pitch of night," for the omnibus or its fated inmates, hung the lives of seven of God's creatures, six of them as mutely doomed to die as if they had been lashed to an enemy's cannon about to be fireiL In this fear ful moment all depended on the bores. and the poor aci ma's now seemed to be almost seeable of their own danger, but it was too late. The hinder wheels passed over the granite kerb—the horses, as if moved by one impulse, pulled, but pulled in vain, and, with distended nostril. and strain ing eyes, they sought to hold the pima ground. Cries for help now broke forth from the rolling prima. Every moment the cries grew louder, but they only served to urge the inst. tiate brutes to make another effort to save themselves, or to lure plethoric languor from vesper somoolism at his fireside to monies " what way the matter," or briug crowds together to behold one of the most appalling tragedies competent foe man to witness. Of mune it is impossible to describe the scene which was now being enacted midi. the 'bus, but faint and muffled cries were heard to issue from within, as with one surge down went the 'bus into the gulf beneath, and • loud splash and an agonising scream told the sad tale of death. For a short time the omnibus stood in an upright pari ties, with the dear downwards. What was the position of those inside! The horses then fell between the 'hus and the bridge, but being still held by their traese they pulled the vehicle on its wheels in their s and as downwards it settled on the stop: lu re:: tag of the bee* despairing shrieks broke from those Mr. CRAWFORD could not agree to adjourn the debate, and hoped the house would read the bill a setsmil time. Mr. TITE said unless the cord duties were continued, or some other mode of tazation could be found, the great im provements now in operation and contemplated must be given up, and London be left as it is. Namur! James Morrie, 19, clerk, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with embezziug money belonging to his employers, Messrs. Lightly and Co. Mr. J. E. Palmer, who appeared for the prisoner, urged in mitigation of the menteDoe that he had paid over the whole of hie Wary for the support of his mother, who was the widow of a lieutenant in the navy, and four brothers and sisters, awl that he had not a single farthing left for his own use either for pleasure or any other purpose. He was also instructed that the total amount embezzled by the prisoner did not exceed 23/., end that the offences extended over a period of three months ; and he had also to state that the money did not appear to have been expended in any vicious pursuit, but was expended in clothes to enable the prisoner to 'cut a figure.'` Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prosecution, mid he be. Hever' that the statement made by his learned friend was substantially true, sad lie had only to add that the penmen. tors had • Dumber of other clerks in their employ, and they felt it to be their duty to institute the present prosecution. Having done so, they had no desire to press the case harshly against the prisoner, soil they would be quite satisfied with any course that hislerdship plight think proper to take in the matter. Snc,—l beg you to kindly grant me space suffi cient to draw the attention of the public to the present inefficient condition of the Metropolitan police, as also of the polioe of the City of London. The greater number of the members of both forces are inexperienced men, and are consequently almost valueless for the purpose of protecting property, or for the detection of thieves and rogues in the commission of offences. The raw countryman of yesterday is the London police man of today—A mere automaton in police uniform. When this is generally known the public will not be surprised at Use observations made by magistrates with regard to the want of Deese and discretion in the police; and well might Mr. Mansfield, the magistrute at Marlborough-street police-court, my a few days since that "Their frivolous and vexatious complaints are calculated to cause them to he despised and hated, and the law to be brought into con tempt." This effect is the inevitable consequence of ignorance and incapacity. There is now a considerable deficiency in numbers in the metropolitan police, and the Commissioner of the City of London Police is advertising for men, but if recruits arrive they will not remain unless greater encouragement is offered than the police now receive. At present a great number of men enter the police service as a temporary refuge in distress, and do not even stay long enough to learn their duties.—l am, Lc., April 8. A POLICE CONSTABLE. _ .

The prisoner mut clue of the clerks to Dr. Swabey,D.C.L., and he was charged with embezzling about 100 i., the amount of fees he bad received on behalf of that gentleman, and which he neglected to hand over to his master. Ho was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for eighteen (-pleader mouths. Rirkelrdl•OX, a labouring man, surrendered, and pleaded guilty to a charge of wilful mid corrupt perjury. Mr. (bland, who appeared for the prosecution, said that the charge was permed by the direction of Mr. Bodkin, the Assistant-judge of the Middlesex Sessions, under these circumnsacce. A brother of the prisoner, tamed John Richardson, was tried for the offence of housebreaking at *Ammon, and stealing some fowls, and the robbery was alleged to have been committed about eight o'clock at night, and a cap was left behind by the thief, which the eel. ' deuce went to show belonged to the prisoner. The present defendant was calledas a witness for his brother, and he swore that in the evening on which the robbery was committed they were together from five ..'clock until half.peart Dios ; and he also swore that the cep that was found is the home where the robbery was committed did net belong to hie brother, end be produced one which, he WO, he was always in the habit of arming. The jury convicted the prisoner ; and inquiries that was. subsequently made by the direction of the court left so doubt that the statements; made by the defendant were fates ANOTHER SHOCKINO MURDER AT DUNDRY, NEAR BRISTOL. The excitement consequent on the terrible murder of old Mrs. Waterman, for which her murderers, Matthew Wedmore and Charles Wedmore, were executed at Taunton as recently as Friday last, has not had time to subside ere the committal of another very barbarous homicide has been discovered in the same neighbourhood. The circumstances connected with the dieoevery are aa follows :—At edistance of • hundred yards or so from the cottage in which the former terrible tragedy was enacted is an Mu called the Three Compasses, kept by a person named Stallard. At tached to this house is a field, which, strangely enough, formed part of • farm the occupier of which, an elderly man named Hazell, was murdered under circumstances which have never been thoroughly elucidated some nine or ten years ago. In this field is a pond, to which on Saturday afternoon a daughter of Mr. nl went for the purpose of getting some water. On approarbiug it she observed something floating, which she for the moment thought was • sheep's head, and supposing that there had been some sheep stealing going on, she called her brother. He procured a stick and got it out, and they then discovered to their hrwrar that it was the mutilated body of a child. Shortly afterwards, concealed in a hole at one side of the pond, they discovered some clothes which bad apparently belonged to the same child. Mr. Sturlaud, the eurgeon, was at once applied to, and discovered on ex amiuiug the body that the skull of the demised had been fractured apparently by being beaten in on the top with • three-cornered stone, and also that • wound six inches long had been indicted on the back of the neck. Intimation was given without delay to the police, and Sn• perintendent Jones, Police-sergeant I>rewett, and acting sergeant Morse, of the county constabulary, were immedi ately engaged in investigating the matter. Suspicion falls on a woman of loose character, who is well known to the police as cohabiting with, and having had children by, a man who lives at Bedminster Down, near Bristol. A abort time ago she was at Dundee, and hod with her a child of about four months old, shinier to that found. She called at the Compasses Tavern, and Mrs. Stallard noticed that the little creature appeared as if neglected, end mentioned her opinion to the mother. Some days after the woman was there again, but without the child, which she said she had buried at Bristol. The clothes found were submitted to Mrs. Stalianfa inspection, and she expresses the strongest belief that they are the same which the chili had on on the evening when the woman brought it with her to the house. The police feel so well grounded in their sueri• cione that an officer has been despatched in pursuit of the woman ; and it is believed, from the information received, that she will soon be iu custody.
