U this tax were good fur England and Wales it was good for fleotissid, sod ought to be extended to it. After a few WOMB from Mr. Upon!, Sir J. V. SHELLEY said the house was shout to decide how much refreshment houses should pay for • license without defusing • refreshment house. Though be much wished to me thew of light wines extended, he felt the greatest objection to this extension of the power of the p lice. As the resolution stood he could not possibly sup. port it. Lord J. MANNERS had inferred from the Chancellor of the Exchequer's own explanations that the whole imam deny abbe ben the refreshment-house homes woad ad mead I ender .lutioo mastaris i ng Thelum t fromfr° the oparatiw of thb the result cold be that there would be an improthistim map •and I tan., which would be attended with peat inoonvesienoe to I those who .upplied the bumbler classes of society with re ! f fths ents. Yr E JAMES thought the course pursued by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer m postponing any modification of his plan eras • very 'Determent one. They were asked to adirm that all houses which supplied refreshments should be licensed in order that the puhce might have control over than. Why did not the government bring in a bill for that rupiee? It wee just as if a Chancellor of the Exchequer, instead of bringing in a bill to put down garebbug houses, proposal that they should be taxed. (Hear, hear.) If the resolution were not modified at once, he should certainly vote amulet it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the hoe. sad learned gentleman seemed quite to misunderstand the revolutioe. It did not declare that every refreshment house should be bound to have • license, but simply axed the price of every license that should be issued to a refresh. meet house. The only question, therefore, which the house had to consider, we. whether there were some refreshment houses which ought to he taxed. Hr. AYRTON had not the least objection to any houses being brought under the supervision of the police, if that were desirable for the purposes of morality ; but he ob jected to the confounding of a moral with • financial ques tion. (Hoar, hear.) The interest of the metropolis in this Emetics) was very peculiar. It abounded with lodging houses, and every householder who supplied • lodger with coffee and bread and butter would be liable to taxation and to police visits. He warned hon. members not to rely on their voting power, for if they did so, and there should be • new Reform Bill, the people would remember it.

Lord J. MA . NNERB asked whether colonial seines would be chimed underthe head of British or foreign wines? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said they would be classed as foreign wines (A lank.) Mr. AYRTON wished to know whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer meant to keep up the difference between licenses grunted to wholesale and retell dealers. The license at poem; he believed, was 10f. 101. for persons who dealt wholesale, and 21.25. and 31. Is on retail dealer,. Preserv. I Mg that difference would not promote the consumption of unadulterated wiz... The difference between the two ought to be abolished and one uniform license established. He had opposed the resolutions purely from a desire to promote temperance, aed he left the regulations for intemperance to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the hon. gentleman had raised a perfectly legitimate question for diecuasioo. The wholesale dealer was • man who usually dealt is large quantities of wine, or wished to have the power of doing so, sad he therefore paid ten guineas for his license. But it would be scarcely fair to charge the retail dealer, whine shop was open for the sale of other so large • sum, sad be could not see that any ;imbed in convenience would arise from maintaining • dietniction. An eight or ten guinea license would press so heavily upon the retail dealer that be would be required to dispose of wine some hundreds of pounds in value before he could realise any prollt. i f on the other head they were to reduce the 10 guinea wine license to five or six mimeos he was afraid the next step they would be celled upon to take would be to reduce the 10 guinea spirit license. Er. GRIFFITH was not disposed to take a puritanical view of the question, but he should like to know the de scription of shops likely to lip engaged in the retail of wine. He hardly rammed that there was to be no check upon the retail of wine, though it did not appear at present that there was any The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had acted upon the principle that there was no objection to the wide este/sloe of the sale of wine to be consumed on the premises ; but regnietiews would be enforced far pram the abused the privilege in consuming wine on the pnmuies.

HOUSES AND WINE LICENSES BILL The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the house go into ccomittee upon this bill. Er. PALE amteaded that it would be unwise, as well as injurious to the manic, isealth,andhappieess of the peopleto permit unrestricted cempetitioa in the coholiedrinks. The bill was bather • Ind measure nor a free-trade mea sure, nor yet • mown dictated by any principle of sound peficy. He woad therefore move that the house go into committee:epos It es that day six mouths. Hr. PACE la needing the motion said the bill was one of the greatest attempts to infringe the liberty of the 'abject that he ever remembered to have men introduced into that home. It would render every ohl woman who said 01kIll or ginger beer liable to a yearly tux. In fact he did not know that the bill would not apply even to butchers' shops. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not think the house would be willing to resume the lengthened debate which had been brought to a clues on Honda night. The obje, von his hon. friend who had the ansesdruent w.l not really apply to the bill ; the gametal wads in which Wife subjected to many important limi tations. The other !immutable gentleman's (Mr. Palk's) obis:Mose were no doubt of • very different character. He had listened to the hen. gentleman, and he admitted that hie apiaion we. entitled tO much consideration. The government had stated in that house whet they anticipated world be tie social consequences of certain measures, and the fanatic. easiest the bill were that hon. gentlemen de clined to draw damnation. which ought to be drawn, and which lay on the surface of the case. The use et wine hems. was different from the beer bill. He had pro pounded the measure as • deliberate attempt to effe c t a great improvenmet in one portion of the law, with regard to which refreshment was to be had by the people and under which they were t o b e ena bl e d to And Permeated liquors in the same places as eatables. After the lung arguments he hail offered to the home the other night it cold not be respetful to rapist them at this moment. But when they went into ournmittee he hmed they would make such armodnieuts as might be requited, if any were ueeonary. (Hear, hear.) The turremb.ient was then negatived without • division, sad the house went into committee, It,.

Bar P. BA 111 remarked that if • retailer were limited to the rale of a .I.icen la might evade that by selling to the same person • elosen &seas in the course of a day. ttlir W.

Miss great 'Mann in that gumtree, but sa this would go up as a mosey IKE, they would probably object to inter fere with it. He wished, therefore, that that part of the hill which related to police regulations should be separated from the taxing portion of the meaeure. This would enable both that and the other house to comider the matter with more satadaction to themselves. Mr. CAYLEY did not look upon the clams inertly as a police clause. He wanted to know why those liotonsd bottom which were to be allowed to sell for= h wines were not to be permitted to sell beer and w whether he (Mr. Oayley) wee right in supposing that was the intention. --- The efiXFWELLOR of the EXCHEQUER nil that it was not intended by this bill to interfere with what wen called beerhouses. The fact of holding • beer license would not be • disqualification for obtaining a wine lionise, nor would the holding a wine license be a disqualification for selling beer if they bad • beer license. He did not agree with Mr. Ayrtn, thatthelicensing portion of the bill should be aspirated from the police part of it. The revenue part of the bill was secondary—the principal part of it being the clauses which related to police regulations. Upon elan 6 W. MARTIN moved an amendment to diminiah the population Cl towns to which the clause applied from 50,000 to 10,000. Mr. LYALL moved the insertion of words limiting the granting of heeling to homes which had been establaned twelve months. He laid his object was to prevent slops being opened under the colour of refreshment houses, solely for the sale of wine. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER objected to the amendment as ineffectual and vexatious. A great num ber of hence might have been established for twelve mouths, and yet have no pretensions to receive these licenses, while it would be very vexatious to prevent • respectable man, who had opened a refreshment house in a populous neighbourhood, from selling wine until the lapse of • year. (Hear, hear.) Both the amendments were then negatived, and the clause was agreed to. Clause 7 was withdrawn and clause 8 agreed to. Upon clause 9, Mr. W. MARTIN suggested, whether as the proprietors of refreslusiest houses would have the arms privileges as Itosamed victuallers sad baritone* laterseb_tkey should not have the muse liability with regard tottishffieting of soldiers. TheCHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that it was part of o peculiar and ant iq uated system, full of diffi culties, sad that it would be much bettor act to import any such provisions into the new system they wore now devising. The claws was agreed to, as were also clown 10 and 11. After some further conversation, clauses 12 and 13 were postponed. Mr. HUNT moved that the Chairman report progress. Sir W. MILES protested spinet this attempt to delay public business. The disputed clauses were postponed, but there were • great many other clauses about which there vru no dispute, and which, therefore, might be proceeded with. On clause 14, Mr. F.. JAMES suggested that it should be postponed. Sir W. MILES suggested various technical amendments to the clause. Mr. SCULLY suggested that, if only in justice to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had been in the house for eight hours without any refreshment, the Chairman ought to report program.

She deposed that she went into Mr. Hatch's family as governess to the children ou the 11th of August last, and she saw Mrs. Plummer on that day, and was introduced to her as the governess who was to take charge of her children. Mrs. Plummer was very anxious that the door of her children's bedroom should be kept constantly open. Witness was constantly with Eugenia Plummer and Lucy Hatch, and the former had plenty of opportunities to speak to her if she pleased to do so. She never made any complaint or suggestion to witness that she had been improperly or indecently treated, or hurt, either by Mr. Hatch or any one else. She remem bered Mrs. Plummer going away on the evening of the 11th of August. Tea at the time was quite ready and waiting, and Mr. Hatch and the two children came into the drawing room in lees than two or three minutes after the car riage left. Witness was watching them all the time from the drawing-room window, and she was quite sure that no nit of impropriety took place. The child Eugenia passed the rest of the even ing in her company, and she did sot make the slighted complaint of any kind, and did not exhibit the least appearance of having been disconcerted in any manner. Theother sister, Stephanie, wee left in witness s care as governess, on the 25th of August, and while they were at dinner Mr. Hatch told Mn. Plummer that the child Eugenia came to his bed is the morning as she had done at a former schooL On the following day Mrs. Plummer came to Mr. Hatch's is • very excited manner, and rushed into the schoolroom and exclaimed—" What, my children in the study, and Lucy in the hall ?" and she then said that she should take her children away, and she and the two girls then walked into the garden. Mr. and Mrs. were out at this time, but they returned in the noun of the afternoon. Witness remained at Mr. Hatch's until November following, t end she had many op rinturisotehlbzzliogl.itccrl:luratci; but ium i th n arl r arid a gil goag...° . By serjeant Shee—The child Eugenia appeared to be attached to both Mr. and Mrs. Hatch and also to witness, and they did not appear to have any cause of complaint. There was nothing in Mr. Hatch's appearance that induced her to watch him, and, of course, she did not suspect any thing wrong. She saw Mr. Hatch running away from the little girls and saw him rui, after then, and this was all she observed. She did not hear of this charge until after Mr. Hatch went away. Mrs. Hatch told her that there was a charge of some kind spinet her husband, but she did not know the particulars until he was examined at Wandsworth Police Court. Re-examined—The whole of the front garden warn visible from the drawing-room window. Mary Anne Reed deposed that in August Let she was in the service of Mr. Hatch, anti went to him with a cha racter from another clergyman. She remembered Mrs. Plummer coming with her daughter Eugenia on the 11th of August, and she showed her the bedrooms. After Mrs. Plummer went away in the evening, witness wee standing on the doorsteps, sod she saw Mr. Hatch mud the children run round the carriage-drive. This was all that occurred ; and if anything else bad happened she must have seen it. The witness then gave some further evidence in oorrobom lion of the previous testimony, and also said that Eugenie Plummer never made any complaint whatever to her. During the time she was in Mr. Hatch's service she never saw an yth ing in his conduct unbecoming. By •je.ant Shea —Bhe was not asked any questions until after Mr. Hatch had left in November. She saw the children running after Mr. Hatch, and she saw them catch him. Witness watched them all the time, and she was sure they were not more than two or three minutes in the garden. Upon some occasions she saw Eugenia and Mr. Hatch in the bed, after Mrs. Hatch and Lucy bed left. Ellen Farr, another servant to Mr. Hatch at the time in question, gave evidence of a similar character. Mr. F. A. Ccgblan deposed that he was at Mr. Hatch's house on the evening of the 18th August last. There was a party of trlends. In the course of the evening Mrs. Hatch asked him to go upstairs and tell Mr. Match to come down. He went to the becbrooni ; the door was ajar, and he knocked, and Mr. Hatch told him to come in. Wit ness did not go Into the room, but merely asked him to come down, and he said, " We will be down directly." Witness west downstairs and Mr. Hatch followed hint shortly a ft erwards, with the children Eugetiia and Lucy. By Mr. Oonper- Mr. Hatch came down with the children two or three minutes after wiener. By Suva Channel)—He might have been in the house half-an-honr before Mrs. Hatch asked him to go upstairs. He bad seen Mr. Hatch in the drawing-room, but he could not say when he left the room. Mr. Hatch said, "Come in," the instant he knocked at the door. gwegx,i es u a Leonia Rafael, a young French lady, who was on a visit at Mr. Hatch's at the time in question, de posed that she was also in the drawing-room after Mrs. Plarnmer bad left, and she saw what occurred in the garden, and give • similar account to that deposed to by the other witnesses ; and she also stated positively that no act of im propriety was committed by Mr. Hatch towards Aber of the children. This witness also stated that daring the time she was stopping in Mr. Hatch's house she never saw anything in his conduct unbecoming the character of a gen tleman and the guardian of children. Cross-examined—Witness and her sister were boarders at Mr. Hatch's. They paid him for the accommodation he afforded therq. She had no particular reason for watching or looking at Mr. Hatch on this occasion. They had their es„and she thought no more of the matter until it was ailed to her recollection about a month ago. Mr. Hatch always a= .. to treat the children 'With the greatest possibleMsAemoiselle Valisce Rafael, the sister of the last witness, gave evidence to the same effect. She also said that it appeared to her that Mr. Hatch did everything in his power to make his house happy and comfortable to every one in it. By Mr. Cooper—Mr. Hatch was exceedingly kind to both the children. He acted more hie a father than a tutor to them. _ This closed the case for the prosecution, and the court then adjourned. The defendant's father again entered into a recognisance for her appeanuice on the following morning, and she went away in his charge. A great many applications were made to the under. sheriffs during the day for admission, but when the court wee full to its extent of affording proper accommodation, those gentlemen very properly refusal to allow any more persons to be admitted, and thus a good deal of confusion mad inconvanienos was avoided. iiiiringthiTtYlerasCeoltliejiTry, upon the adjournment of the court in the middle of the day, a prisoner named Wit ham Dowses was placed at the bar. This prisoner was convicted at the February session o: taking a girl under sateen yes of age out of the custody of her parents without their consent, but a point of law having been named by his counsel, Mr. Sleigh, judgment was respited, and the judges in the Court of Criminal Appeal have not yet been able to come to a decision. Baron Channell told the prisoner that pending the deci sion of the court, the learned judge W6O tried him consi dered that he might be admitted to bail, and it was origi nally ordered that he should enter into a personal recogni sance in AIN., and find two sureties in 401. each. He understood, however, that he was not in a condition to Plod sureties to that amount, and the court would, tbera:ore, consent to his being liberated upon his entering into his own reoognisance in 80/. ; but as there was some doubt whether the act of parliament did not also require sureties, he would also find two sureties in ls. each. The prisoner then entered into the required recognisant:es and was discharged. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) The trial of Edward Weltzeneeein, Eliza Weltzenageis, Madeleine Jourdan ' and Herman Frisk, for conspiracy, was resumed yesterday morning at the sitting of the court. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., Mr. Sleigh, and Mr. Poland, Merfor the prosecution ; and 11r. Canal, Mr. Best, . d ßenealy for the defendants. Evidence was given to prove that some letters which the prosecutor denied having written were in his handwriting, and the witnesses only spoke to the writing as being like that of the prosecutor. Mr. Hu(Weston then rose to address the jury in reply, and said that it was not his intent to enter into the extraneous topics which his learned friends had, but he could not let the remarks made by the counsel for the defence u him for the manner in which he conducted the without notice. The learned counsel, Mr. had, V: very vehement address, accused him (Mr. H ) of having conducted the prosecution in an unfair asaaor. Ho denied that there was the slightest cause for Mr. Parry's condemnation of him, and thought be would have done better if he had explained his cause for complaint, and not descended to personal abuse. He (the learned counsel) in his address for the prosecution had but use object in view, and that was justice. Mr. though it accused him of conducting the case as t it was one at Nisi Prius, and not with the pro. priety which should characterise proceedings in a criminal court, and alai, that the ease ought never to have been brought here. He (Mr. Huddlestou) knew no distinction of courts in the manner of conducting a ease, but always endeavoured to do his duty with fairness to both parties: and with regard to the case being brought here for trial, he thought there never was one more fit fur a criminal court than this. The defendants had charged a highly re spectable gentleman with perjury and adultery, and the issue which the jury would have to decide was, whether Mr. Stohwasser, who had come forward to resist an impu• dent claim, warn the witness of truth. The learned counsel then at some length reviewed the whole case, and urged that the defendants had failed to prove that the prosecutor was not the 'ranee@ of truth. The Recorder, in Bumming up, paid a high compli ment to the jury , for the extremely careful attention which they had paid to the evidence, and said that after the full and able manner in which it had been brought forward and argued by the counsel engaged in it, he should not think it neceseszy for him to read over the evidence. He should merely refer to it, and point out the bearings which it had upon the accused. He begged the jury to dismiss from their minds all that had been said about the position of the parties, and be guided by the evidence only. Referring to the letters which Weltzenstein had sent to the prosecutor, and the evidence given by him in the Court of Queen's Bench, he (the Recorder) did not think there could be any doubt that prosecutor had lent him money. The Recorder then, in • most lucid and im manner, referred to the leading points of the evi and pointed out how the defendants wore affected by it. At the coaclusion, The jury retired, and, after a somewhat protracted ab sence, retuned, finding all the defendants Guiltg. Mr. (Allard then applied to the wart to assign error on the part of his client, Madame Jourdan, on the ground that the crown had not joined issue to her plea. She had been out on hail, and had not pleaded until Monday last, when the court was without a clerk of ensigns, or any legally appointed deputy, to make the necessary replication. rßecorde said that he should not then pass sentenoe. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Serjeent.) Yestertky morning, et the sittiog of the court, Mr. Sleigh, on the part of James Pea rre and Emily Larrenee, who stand indicted for stealing jewels al the value of 2,3101., applied for the postponement of the trial until neat Mr. J. Lewis having objected, Mr. Beard, the solicitor to the prisonens, was sworn to an affidavit made by them, stating that !oaring only been committed on Saturday last, they had not had time to prepare their defence. The Common Serjeant granted the application. Julio Baxter, 20, clerk, pleaded guilty to an indictment for embezzlement. The prisoner bad been collector to Mews. Christie, hat. tors, in Gracechurchetreet. His defalcations amount ed to 3281.,and when taken at Weynnouth, by Haggett, the officer, 1741. was given up by him. tientenced to 12 months' imprisonment, the Common Ser. jeant taking into consideration the atonement he had made by giving up the money, and the inadequate salary he received. William Broom, 30, William Murray, 21, and George Tarpix, 24, artillerymen, were indicted for a riot and assaulting John James Abraham, William Atkins, and Edward Hayward, police °unstable& Mr. Beale y and Mr. Abram prosecuted. It appeared that on Easter Tuesday, in the evening, an artilleryman had been taken in the Trafalgar-road, Green wich, by the police for some felony, when the prisoners and a part)• of the company tried to rescue him, and assaulted the officers in a most brutal manner. They also broke into some shops, assaulted the inmates, and did great damage. The jury acquitted Turpin but convicted the other two. Brown was sentenced to 12 and Murray to 18 months' imprisonment and hard labour. MARKETS. OOTTON.—Licsaroot., Mix 10.—A fair amount of busi ness he. been done at yesterday's prices. The salmi are 1,000 bake, including 6,750 American, at !id. to Std; 1,000 Surat, W. to 4141. ; 150 EgTP4Mo, Bd. to 10d ; 40 Peraam, 71d. to fled. ; 30 Bahia, 71.1. ; 30 Marankam, 73d.; d which 1,000 are for speculation and export.

It was thought prices would rule lower by • penny or twopence per pound, but ouch is not the ewe ; for although the sales opened at a slight decline, this was recovered immediately, and prices may be quoted quite as high as at the March sales. Not much of the wool has been bought fur the Bradford market, but nevertheless our market has been favourably influenced by the spirit evinced at these sales. There has been • better feeling during the week, and sorts most in request have been sold at stiffer prices. This remark does not apply to Down woods, Of which there is a more abundant s upply. Holders of this deeeription of wool have submitted to a slight reduction in price, being anxious to clear out be fore the new wool comes into the market. The supply of wool generally is ample fur the time of the year. In 0011$ and shorts the market is kept bare, and urban are • little firmer. There is more doing in worsted yarns to. day, especially in the export branch. Buyers have been diligent in making inquiries, awl some °niers have been given. In the home trade business is steady any change, • little more active. Prices re main unalteret There has also been rather more doing in plasma ; but the market continues in O Oepreseoll state. The palms of goods are lower than the east of production, awl the business of the manufacturers is an unprofitable cue. The results of the failure of the spring,tnule are being severely felt in some quarters. A hope is entertained of relief, as regards the price of the raw material, when the new Crup to brought into ounsimption.

MAIWIMITTI, MAT 10.—Thu morning's market was moderately attended, and although buyers of English wheat endeavoured to obtain a reduction in the value, holders were firm, and only a limited business resulted. Foreign wheat was more pressingly offered, and must be quoted 2d. per 70 lbs. cheaper : Floor was slow of sale, and in some in. stances rather in favour of buyers. The demand for oats end oatmeal was restricted, at previous rates. English beau were is. per quarter dearer, but Egyptian beans and Indian corn each declined Is. per quarter. NEWARK, MAT 9.—A moderate supply of grain at mar. ket. There was an increased desire to buy wheat to-day at the prices of last week. Malting barley did not go off 90 freely, but grinding qualities and also oats and beam brought full prises. Nuwanav, MAT 10.—We had • fair supply of wheat, which met a steady sale at about the same prices, a dear. anoe being effected. Merely a retail trade in larley at. rather less money.

The house then adjourned at a quarter to 1 o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE. SUPPLY OF GAS TO THE METROPOLIS. This committee met again yesterday, Mr. T. S. &moult in the chair. Dr. Challio7, medical officer for Bermondsey, was called, and examined by Mr. Denison. He said there had been complaints of the high price of gas in his district since 1849. The Surrey Consumers' Company was then esta blished. At that time the price was 6s. and when the Surrey Consumers' Company was established the price was reduced to 4s. The OM Consumers' Mutual Association was formed in 1857, and they bed interviews with the gas companies respecting the complaints of the consumers as to the insufficiency of the illuminating power, and the arbitrary cutting off the gas for the moat trivial reasons, which had formed the subject of complaint at various public meetings. Four shillings was the price of the gas previous to the " districting," but after that it was raised to 4. 61 One of the complaints also was that a man warn obliged to pay 301. even if he consumed only 1,000 feet of gas a year ; and one side of the street was supplied by one company the other side by another com pany, and the consumer h a d to pay both, and the consumer had also to pay in advance in the great majority of in stances, especially with regard to small traders and new tenant,. The consequence of cutting off the el was very serious as regarded inconvenience, and ruinous as to a man's credit. Witness considered it would be very oath fact.ry if there ware inspectors of meters appointed, who should be equally independent of the gas *Dammam and of the consumers. EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT AT EZIOATI.-011 Wednesday morning, about 12 o'clock, the inhabitants of the town of Reigate were alarmed by a loud report, which at drat was believed to be the shock of an earthquake, but it was soon ascertained that it arose from a very large sand cave, belong to the premises of the Bed Cross Inn, having fallen in. Over this cave there were erected several cottages, and it was soon suer tained that no lens than dye of these cottages, or at least portions of them, including all the staircases, hail fallen in with the cave. Of course, the utmost consterna tion prevailed, as it was a long time before it was ascer tained that none of the inhabitants of the cottages, twenty three in number, had gone down with the debris. The escape was perfectly miraculous the bedsteads in four of the cottages were actually Partly hanging over the immense chum, and on one of them a poor woman was lying very ill, her medical attendant, Dr. Steele, having just left her. The poor creature was taken out of the front window, as may he irnagited, more doad than alive from fright. The inhabitants of the adjoining cottages very soon cleared out, and they certainly had • must providential escape ; for if the accident had happened at sight, at a time when all the intoates were at home, many lives would in all probability have been semi. &el. It also happened, fortunately, that those who were at home were in the frost pert of the premises ; in fact the miraculous tempos may be imagined from the fact that no less than ten cottages appear to be now, IR it were, halting by • mere thread. The only lives that were lost were t of two hounds that wero in the garden, and they are buried in the ruins. The inhabitants of the town have very kindly got up • subscription in aid of the pour people who have had their furniture destroyed by this extraordinary accident. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamers China and Behar left Southampton yesterday for Bombay, to be placed on the mail stations in the Eastern seas. Them steamers will increase the ixopauy's Eastern fleet to thirty nine ships. [Advertisement.] HOLIUMAY PILIE AND ()INTRUST —o,llStUrioNs, FITS.
