The bill authorised the promoters to enter into contr.ets with the Great Northern for the use of the proposed line. A formal resolution approving the bill was agreed to, and this, it was announced, concluded the busi nese of the Wharnoliffe meeting. HOUSE OF LORDS-YESTERDAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES. The Earl of SHELBURNE brought in a bill for the better regulation of Friendly Societies. The measure he said had been prepared by Mr. Tidd Pratt. It was not his intention to press the bill forward during the present fession. The bill was read a first time. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time :—Cheadle Roads—Salford Improvement—Nene Valley Drainage— Eden Valley Railway—Edinburgh and Glasgow and Cale donian and Dumbartonshire Junction Railway Companies —Edinburgh and Glasgow, and Glasgow, Dumbartonshire, and Helensburgh Railway Companies —Edinburgh and Glasgow and Wellington, Drayton, and Newcastle Railway. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Vale of Clwyd Railway ; Burton-upon-Trent Railway; Hereford Hay and Brecon Railway ; South-Eastern Rail way (Tunbridge and Dartford) ; Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway ; Oldham, Ashton, and Guide Bridge Junction Railway; Bridge of Weir Railway; Bala and Dolgelly Railway ; Corwen and Bala Railway ; and Manchester ) Sheffield, and LincOlnshire Railway. NEW ZEALAND BILL. The Duke of NEWCASTLE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to clear up all doubts relating to the powers of the New Zealand Legislature. He had intimated to the colonial Government the desirability of brio frTna Oho r .-0, Laavlal 1.11t3UDULI:1111414ou 4U 4LC Central Legislature, but this was a matter in which the Imperial Legislature could not interfere, as it had handed over the administration of its affairs to the colony. Earl GREY said it was understood, when the constitu tion was granted to New Zealand, that it should provide for the cost of its own Government. There was now in the colony a military force of several thousand men at the ex pense of the mother country,who,if she was responsible, ought for her own protection to have control over the affairs of the colony. He did not desire the withdrawal of the Imperial protection, but he did object to a vote of such a meagre description as the present. After a short discussion, in which the Earl of Desert, Lord Taunton, and Lord Lyvedon took part, The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he would give the noble lord (Lyvedon) as many of the papers relative to New Zealand as would, under the present circumstances, be safe for the public service, and with respect to the observations of the noble earl (Grey), he begged to remind them that the present measure was ene merely to remedy certain local defects, and not one for an alteration of the constitution of New Zealand. The bill was read a second time. PUPLIC HOUSES (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the report of the amendments to the Public Houses (Scotland) Act Amendment Bill being brought np, The Earl of MINTO moved that the bill be re-com mitted to a committee of the whole house. NEW ZEALAND BILL. _ The Duke of NEWCASTLE moved the second reading of this Bill, and stated that the object of the measure was to correct certain mistakes committed by the General As sembly of the colony in regard to the New Provinces Act. The Bill before the house gave increased power to the Governor at the expense of the superintendents of pro vinces. Earl GREY thought that Great Britain, who maintained a large force at her own expense for the protection of New Zealand, ought to have a more effective control over the causes which made such an outlay imperative. He agreed with the Duke of Newcastle that the system of elective superintendents was mischievous. The Duke of RICHMOND moved that two persons named Isaacs and Preston be ordered to attend at the bar of the house for having obtaining signatures to a railway petition by false pretences, and for having, when examined before the Select Committee, left little doubt on the minds of the Committee that neither of them were speaking the truth. The motion was agreed to. The house adjourned at ten minutes to eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 20 minutes past 12. POLICE AND IMPROVEMENT (SCOTLAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Clauses to 14 were agreed to. On clause 15, Sir M. STEWART said he believed and hoped the bill now before Parliament would never pass into law. He would have opposed the bill going into committee, but he thought he should have had no chance of success. Many of the provisions of the bill were monsi roue and thoroughly non sensical. His objection to the bill was that it tied proprietors of land and occupiers in towns hand and foot, and placed them at the mercy of a body of commissioners and magi strates. The only safeguard was that the commissioners might have the good sense to throw away 200 or 300 of the clauses, and to look for one here or there that might work. He did not believe that Scotch members generally had read the bill. The LORD ADVOCATE said he could only account for the strong language used by the hon. baronet by the fact that he himself had not read the bill. He believed the bill was regarded in Scotland as one of the most important sani tary measures ever introduced. If there were nonsensical clauses in the bill he wished the hon. baronet had pointed them out to him. He thought the bill was exceedingly well drawn up, and that it would work well. The difference between it and Lord Rutherfurd's bill was that Lord Rutherfurd's bill could only have been worked as a whole, whereas this bill might be adopted in parts. Clauses up to 83 were agreed to. On clause 84, _ _ _ Mr. BLACK proposed to add "provided further, when in any burgh, under the provisions of any Police Act, a higher rate of assessment is now and has been in use to be levied upon lands and tenements above a certain fixed rent than upon lower rented lands and tenements, it shall be in the power of the commissioners, in laying on the assess— ment under this Act, to continue the same relative rates of assessment, if they think proper. The amendment was negatived and the clause was agreed to. On clause 88, Mr. C. EWING proposed as an amendment after the word "may," to insert " if they think fit, exempt from the police assessment under this act all premises which shall be let at a rent not exceeding £3, or such lower sum as they may think fit for that purpose, and that in respect to pre mises let at any higher rent, they may also." The committee divided — For the amendment...... Against it Majority —4B The amendment was lost and the clause was agreed to. Clauses to 177 were agreed to. On the motion of Sir M. STEWART, clause 178 was struck out. The remaining clauses of the bill, making 466 in all, were then agreed to with some amendments. Sir J. FERGUSSON brought up a new clause giving the Commissioners of Supply power to petition the sheriff for extension of boundaries, so as to be co-extensive with the burgh boundaries. The LORD ADVOCATE opposed the clause. The committee divided — For the clause Against it 4l Majority.. The clause was therefore lost. The bill then passed through committee, and the sitting was suspended at 10 minutes to 4. At 6 o'clock the house resumed, CONDUCT OF PRIVATE BUSINESS.' Mr. R. HODGSON asked the chairman of the commit tee on standing orders whether he intended to move for the appointment of a committtee for the purpose of ascertain ing whether any alteration could be made in the conduct of private business, so as to diminish the expense now in curred by promoters and opponents of private bills. Col. VT. PATIEN replied that on Thursday next he would move: for a committee to inquire into the ex pediency of revising the standing orders, and he would submit to that committee a proposal for the reducticn of certain fees now paid in connection with the private legis lation of the house. CHURCH RATES. Mf. S. ESTCOURT moved the following resolution : " That the law relating to church rates may be benficially settled by combining in one measure provisions for each of the following objects-1. To enable vestries specially sum moned, and in which owners have a vote by proxy, to transfer from occupiers to owners so much of their liability as re gards the repair of their parish church and churchyard— and to make such special rate, if voted by a majority, re coverable by the same process as a rate for repairs of high ways. 2. T o repeal the existing legal process f or en f orcing a com pulsory rate. 3. To give facilities for collecting a voluntary rate. The right hon. gentleman said he was induced to bri ng that subject again under the notice of the house because h o f elt persuaded that it cou ld no t cont i nue in the very unsatisfactory condition in which it at present stood. The proposal ho was then submitting to their consideration was framed in perfect har mony with the reso lution which he had moved six we eks ago, end which had received the sanction a a ma- jority of the house He could not approve of a scheme which found favoir with many people for establishing a system of pew rentlas a substitute for the existing church rates, because undetsuch an arrangement the burden of the charge would not bin any way proportioned to the means of ' the different contrilottors. The resolution he was propos ing would provide that there shc.uld be, in the first place, a voluntar3 rate ; and that if that rate should not be adequte for its purposes, the churchwardens should be enabled toappeal to the owners, and not to the occupiers, in the difftent parishes in order to supply the deficiency; and he beloved that such a plan would afford a fair and reasonable mode of bringing that difficult and long-vexed question tt a final settlement. Mr. HODGKINSCNT moved, as an amendment to the resolution, the omissiot of all the words after the figure 1, and the substitution of the following words :—" To autho rise the levy of a rate o rent in respect of the appropriated portion of seats in chuthes, but so that no appropriation of seats in any church shtll be made to a greater extent than now actually exists." Mr. BUXTON regretted that Mr. Estcourt had brought forward the first of his resolutions, as he believed that with out it the Dissenters would have been prepared to accept the two proposals which followed. Mr. HEYGATE moved the following amendment, as a substitute for Mr. Esteout's resolution :—" That, in order to effect a satisfactory settlement of the law relating to church rates it is expedient, in the first place, to transfer their direct charge, together with all powers of imposing the same, from the occupiers to the owners of property." It seemed to him that they could have no just settlement of the question unless they gave compulsory powers of raising the church rate, whatever might be the principle on which the liability to the charge was founded. Sir G. GREY said he believed it was idle to expect that they stiratia ...,....v -versy to a conclusion. He should add that he doubted very much the expediency of their adopting the scheme embo died in the resolution of Mr. Estcourt, which he could not help thinking would be calculated to create a great deal of agitation and ill feeling throughout the country. Mr: DISRAELI said that, in his opinion, it was the mag nitude of the questions involved in that subject which had hitherto prevented them from bringing it to a satisfactory settlement; and he felt convinced it was only through the direct interference of the Government, proposing some scheme on their special responsibility, that such a result could ever be attained. Mr. NEWDEGATE insisted on the existence of a posi tive claim on the part of the parishioners of this country to a portion of its property for the maintenance of the national churches, and added that he would never be prepared to surrender that right. _ Lord R. CECIL supported the proposal of Mr. Hey gate. Lord HENLEY said that the Dissenters in the great towns at present paid no church rates, and they would never acquiesce in any arrangement which would not place their brethren throughout the country in the same position. Mr. HEYGATE then withdrew his amendment, and the amendment of Mr. Hodgkinson not having been pressed Mr. S. Estceurt withdrew his resolution. HULL CITADEL. Mr. A. SMITH moved for a select committee to inquire into the circumstances and grounds under which Hull Citadel and adjoining premises were transferred from the War Department to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and report their opinion thereupon to the house. Mr. F. PEEL opposed the motion. The Government had acted in that matter upon the:opinion of the law officers of the Crown, and the subject was not ono for the conside ration of a committee of the house. ---- After a few observations from Mr. Clay and Sir G. C. Lewis, and a reply from Mr. Smith, The motion was negatived without a division. ATLANTIC ROYAL MAIL COMPANY. Lord DUNKELLIN rose to call the attention of the house to the position in which that company was placed by the delay of the Government to return an answer to the memorial of the company sent in to the Treasury so far back as the 24th day of April, and to ask the intentions of the Government with regard ,to the restitution of postal communication between Galway and North America. The noble lord, after having alluded to the circumstances under which the late contract with the company had been re scinded, stated the efforts which bad recently been made by them to obtain its renewal. They had at present three vessels, which would be ready in a few weeks to re-open the communication between Galway and America; and on the 24th of April last they had memorialised the Govern ment for the purpose of procuring that concession. No answer, however, had yet been given to their application, and the delay and uncertainty which had thus arisen had led to a serious injury to their property. The noble lord moved, in conclusion, for a copy of any correspondence which had recently passed between the company and the Treasury. Lora PALMERSTON said that a formal statement had only just been received from the company of the means which they at present possessed of carrying out a contract for the re-establishment of postal communication between Galway and North America. The Treasury, having that information before them, would take the application of the company into their immediate consideration, and ho had no doubt that in the course of next week he should be able to announce their decision. After a few words from Colonel FRENCH, Lord DUNK ELLIN withdrew his motion for the pro duction of the correspondence. AFFIRMATIONS. Sir J. TRELAWNY moved for leave to bring in a bill to allow certain persons to make affirmations in all cases where an oath was required. _ _ _ Mr. M‘MAHON opposed the bill, which, in his opinion, was contrary to an established principle of English law. After some discussion, the motion was adopted on a divi sion by 88 votes to 59. in a committee of the whole houso Mr. DILLWYN obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the law respect ing endowed schools. The hon. gentleman stated, however, that ho did not mean to proceed further with the measure during the Resent session. The house then went into committee on the Drainage (Ireland) Bill, and several clauses were agreed to. On the order for the second reading of the Roman Catholic Prisoners Bill, Sir G. GREY expressed a hope that the house would not proceed at that hour of the morning (half-past one). Mr. NEWDEGATE, who had attempted to address the house amidst some impatience, moved that the order be discharged. Sir G. C. LEWIS suggested that they should proceed to a division without discussion. Mr. WHALLEY supported Mr. Newdegate's motion. Mr. EsTc OURT appealed to the hon. member for War wickshire to withdraw his motion, but he having refused to do ko the house divided, when the amendment was rejected by 66 to 26. The bill was then postponed to the 9th of July. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the house adjourned at 2 o'clock. LATV INTELLIGENCE.—June 24. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. ',Sittings at Nisi Prins, in Middlesex, before Lord Chief Justice Erie and a Special Jury.) IDDIOLS V. WEBB.-PATAL ACCIDENT. The plaintiff in this case sued as administratrix of her mother to recover damages in consequence of the old lady having been run over and killed. Mr. Best and Mr. Butler Rigby appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr Needham for the defendant_. The plaintiff was a milliner and straw-bonnet maker in High-street, St. Giles's, but having had the misfortune to be paralysed her mother was of great assistance to her, in fact doing all the hard work; for although she was 69 years old she was in good health and strong. On the 16th December last the mother went out for some beer, and had crossed the road so far that she was about stepping on the kerb when a cart with bundles of wood in it, and belonging the defendant, a timber merchant at Deptford, came along at such a furious pace, that although she saw it three houses off she was unable to get out of the way and was knocked down, run over, and so seriously hurt that she died. The driver of the cart was a man named Davis, and he was tried at the Old Bailey, found guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced to three months' im prisonment. Since the death of her mother the plaintiff had been obliged to employ her sister, and to get other assistance at a cost of about lbs. a week. The business had belonged to the plaintiff and her mother jointly', and now the plaintiff had the business to herself. Mr. Sergeant Shee submitted that under these circumstances there wa s no pecuniary loss for which alone the plaintiff could recover under Lord Camp bell's Act, and that therefore there must be a non suit. The Lord Chief Justice said that he should re serve the point ; but the ground of claim under the statute, which was a very beneficial one in some re spects, was so very indefinite that it was extremely desirable that those engaged in legisl a ti on s h o uld turn their attention to it. Some evidence was given for the defendant with the view of showing that there was no negligence on the part of his servant, or that deceased might have avoided the accident if she had been more careful. The jury found a verdict for the defendant. DREWETT AND WIFE V. THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAIL WAY COMPANY.-THE CLAYTON TUNNEL ACCIDENT. The first-named plaintiff was a working man, em ployed by the Hove Gas Company, and he, with his Wife, and two of her daughters, was a passenger upon the occasion of the accident in the Clayton tunnel; and damages were now claimed ascompen sation for injuries sustained by the wife. The de fendant pleaded payment of £lO in satisfaction of the cause of accident. The plaintiff's case was, that soon after the acci dent a medical man attended him on the part of the company, and that three or four days afterwards this gentleman compromised their claim by paying £lO and taking a receipt for it. At this time, how ever, the male plaintiff believed from what the medi cal man told him that his wife was not hurt. So far from this, however, being the case, it appeared that she had received a severe shock, and she had been getting worse and worse, until now she had gone out of her mind. The witness having stated these circumstances, he was cross-examined to show that the action was brought at the instance of some one else and without his knowledge. The Lord Chief Justice made a suggestion to the counsel in the course of the evidence, which resulted in his asking the jury whether they believed upon the plaintiff's evidence that the company paid £lO in satisfaction of the claim of the wife as well as of the others. The jury replied that they did ; and a verdict was lereupon entered for the defendants. NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA. The following illustration in a mercantile form of the :points at issue between the Northern and Southern States of America presents a very clear idea of the nature of the cause for which the pre sent unexampled waste of blood and treasure is being carried on, to the horror of the civilised world and the scandal of the 19th century:— " A commercial firm engages in business, they provide for alterations in their articles of copartner ship, but, either from accident, expectation that the firm will last the life of the partners, or that when interest or difference of opinion make a dissolution necessary or expedient, it will naturally take place, they omit any limit of time, or any provision for dissolution. " The firm is prosperous, lasts many years, and individual partners amass a capital equal, or nearly equal, to the original capital of the firm. Differ ences of opinion also arise, till at length three of the partners are satisfied that they cannot longer remain in the firm without a sacrifice of feeling and interest. " The question is how they are to get out ; the five other partners, they know, will not consent, and there seems to be nothing in the articles to enable the minority to get clear of their associates, but to be released they are determined at all hazards. They proceed to the bankers and, by the powers of signature they possess, they secure about what they consider their portion of capital. They then an nounce to their five associates their determination to dissolve ; they propose to constitute two firms, and desire to continue on friendly terms, and if their proposal is accepted they are ready to come back with the money they have drawn, and have an amicable settlement of funds, paying back in case:it should prove they had drawn more than their share. " The five partners are taken by surprise. They point to the articles of copartnership to show that the three have no warrant there for what they have been doing, and, above all, inveigh against their proceedings at the bankers'. " The three claim that there being no provision made for dissolution proves that the intention was to leave any partner to go out when he conceived it for his interest to do so, but they mean to go, at any rate. _ _ Two courses are open to the five aggrieved part ners—to file a bill in Chancery to compel a return of the three, in which process, if they spend half their own capital, they will have the , satisfaction of destroying the whole of that of the three, the result, if successful, being to bring them back, with the capital of the whole wofully diminished, and the most bitter feeling engendered. " The other comae seems:to be to accept the fact, though, perhaps, refusing to acknowledge the right, make the best bargain they can, each firm go on in its own way, agreeing, in case of need, to support each other in case of any attack from outside, and be as good friends as they can be under existing circumstances, the five trusting, not unreasonably, to their superiority in capital and numbers to sur pass the three and perhaps make them eventually beg for readmission. " The above seems very much the condition of the partnership of States in America, where 11 partners out of 30 determine to get out." AN INSULT AND AN APOLOGY. A letter from Chios, in the Levant, gives an in teresting account of an incident which had just :aken place. The letter is dated as far back as May 24:- " Chios is in quite a state of ferment to-day, owing to the Paella of Rhodes having been corn- pelled to apologise for having insulted the British flag. I hastily send you the particulars. " Her Majesty's sloop Foxhound, Capt. Hobart (brother of Lord Hobart), was cruising near Rhodes, on the look-out for pirates who were said to be about there. As he could not run into the little creeks, &c., along the coast with the ship, he engaged a Greek boat, and manned her with his first-lieutenant and eight men, fully armed, to search along the shore. The Foxhound lay 40 or 50 miles off, so as not to be seen by any pirates about the coast. " While the boat was searching about near a place called Yali, on the coast opposite Rhode3, the Pacha came by with his small steamer, and, think ing this boat contained pirates, fired a shot at her to bring her to the steamer, but the boat kept on, and the Pacha fired a second shot, at which the boat pulled alongside the steamer. The Turks told them to come on board. The officer and men, not suspecting anything, went on board unarmed, and as soon as each man came on deck he was roughly seized by the Turks, knocked down, and had his hands lashed behind his back and then thrown down into the hold. The lieutenant was also served in the same way. During this time there did not appear one Turkish officer on deck. They were kept prisoners in this way for two hours, and were barbarously treated by the Turks, who stele everything they could from them. At the end of two hours they were fetched up, and interrogated by the Pacha and some officers. Neither the Eng lish ofacei DUL Lie men knew any other language than English, so the Pacha fetched an engineer he had on board, who spoke a little English, and who interpreted for them. "The officer had his uniform cap on, and was regularly furnished with papers; the men were dressed in their proper man-of-war dress, with the name of the ship round their hats, were fully armed with regulation revolvers, muskets, and bayonets, with stores and everything on board with the Eng lish mark on. Besides, the men could not be mis taken from English Sack-tars; they had regular Anglo-Saxon features, and, what is more, they o had the English flag flying on their b.oat. the Turks could mistake them for pirates is a mystery. a nd the Pacha gave the " When they found th e English they let the m g o, a b o at's crew un deniabl y s a t s ifi s c o a o ti n justification he gwoltiatto ho lieutenant ba d don a c. k i n ir d h e of i l i e e t u t t e c r ut and found he hadhleerfet his ship, reported what hadchrthsaeptpoentehdo.rale'hhea.calipe tain was furious, and gave followed him for Cos. He went to Cos and several other islands, to Rhodes, but always arrived too late.

The Pacha acceded to everything immediately except the salute, but the captain was firm, and made him do it; and after everything had been done as required the Fox hound saluted the Turkish flag, and then the Pacha left Chios with his steamer, doubtless glad to get away from the clutches of the Giaour: " CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. A meeting of the members of this commission was held yesterday, at the Guildhall, under the presidency of Mr. Henry De Jersey, the chairman. The minutes of the last Court were read and passed as being correct, after which several applica tions and matters of minor importance were dis posed of. THE PUBLIC LIGHTS IN THE CITY. Mr. R. T. CHAPLIN, one of the members of the Court of Common Council for the ward of Alders gate-street, with Mr. NORMAN, attended on behalf of a number of the inhabitants of the ward in reference to the lighting of the public lamps, refer ring specially"to several lamps in Little Britain. The latter gentleman stated that some of the lamps in the thoroughfare mentioned had lately upon several evenings gone out, and the street had been left in comparative darkness. In answer to one of the commissioners, it was stated that the carburetting process was applied to tho lampg- which had gtatiktrat, ,- arid itrr - complaiiAa had been made in respect of the lamps where the process was not applied. The CHAIRMAN said that perhaps the better course would be that the complaint should be re ferred to the General Purposes Committee, who had the whole supply of gas to the City under consideration at the present moment. (Haar.) Dr. ABRAHAM concurred in the suggestion of the chairman. He thought it was perfectly clear that during the night the gas supplied to the public lamps was lowered to a very serious extent, and he could not but help thinking that this practice was a very dangerous one, and was calculated to lead to very serious results. Mr. Deputy WHITESIDE reminded the Court that only three feet of gas per hour was sup plied to these lamps where the carburetting pro cess was applied, while five feet per hour was supplied to the other lamps. The act of the gas companies in turning off the supply during the night would therefore of course operate more strongly upon the former lamps. (Hear.) Mr. FRICKER thought it was to be lamented that the gas company and the carburetting company could not work harmoniously, and until this end could be brought about there must be continual complaints of the imperfect lighting of the public lamps. The motion was then put and agreed to. THE TRAMWAY BILL. Mr. JOSEPH DAY, the principal clerk, read a re port from the Improvement Committee, to whom this bill had been referred for consideration. Being of opinion that the question of allowing a public company for purposes of pecuniary gain to lay down iron or other trams within the streets of the City involved very important considerations,;they recom mended the Court to petition Parliament against the bill. The report was agreed to, and the petition in opposition to the bill was at once signed. SANATORY CONDITION OF THE CITY. Dr. LETHEIIY, tbe medical officer of health, re ported on the state of 166 houses that had been in spected (Hiring the week, and he submitted a list of 61 places for sanatory improvement. He likewise reported that the markets and slaughter-houses had ' been duly visited, and that the officers had seized 1,554 lbs. of meat as unfit for human food. It con sisted of six sheep, two pigs, eight quarters of beef, and 17 joints of meat-161 lbs. were diseased, 607 lbs. were putrid, and 786 lbs. were from animals that had died from natural causes. All of it were destroyed. The medical officer informed the,com missioners that on Saturday last three persons from Leicester—namely, George Warrens, Daniel Cotton, and George Hills, were tried at the Old Bailey and convicted, for having sent diseased and unwhole some meat to Newgate-market, and that they were severally sentenced to • six months' imprisonment. The judge notified that if this punishment was not found to have the effect of checking the practice of sending diseased meat to the London markets it would be increased. Sixty-seven births and forty deaths were registered in the City during the week. The latter are below the average (47) for the cor responding week of the last six years ; 18, or nearly half, of the deaths were among children of less than five years of age, and only seven among persons of 60 and upwards. The chief causes of death were as follows :—Phthisis, 6 ; bronchitis, 2 ; mesenteric disease, 3 ; continued fever, 2 ; scarlet fever, 1; whooping cough, 1; and measles, 8. These are the most prevalent of the zymotic diseases. Some other business was transacted, and the Court adjourned. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.). The deaths in London in the week that ended last Saturday, the third week in June, were 1,104; and the rate of mortality has been remarkably uniform during the four weeks that have elapsed since the third week of May. The mean temperature of the air was lower last week than it had been any of the four weeks that preceded it. The mortality from typhus was less last week than it has been in any other week during a very long period. The deaths from it declined from about SO to 49. Of this latter number, five Were returned by the London Fever Hospital. A man cook, aged 57 years, died of typhus aftertßight days' illness, at 4, Lower Keate-street, Spitalfields, in which house it is stated that five oases of typhus, two of which were fatal, have occurred since March. There were four deaths from bmallpos, 15 from me asles, 44 from scarlatina, 12 from diphtheria , 15 from croup, 24 from whooping-cough, 20 from diarrhcc a . Phthisis (or consumption) was fatal in 151 cases, the corrortod average being .155. Bronchitis wa s fatal in 64 cases, pneumonia in 47. Four children died by murder or manslaughter. A man aged 36 years died from boils followed by erysipelas, that extended over the head and down the pharynx an d larynx. A woman di e d o f urti caria. A man lost his life by taking an overdose of the tincture of aconi te. The oldest person whose death appears in the week's returns is a man who had attained the age of 91 years. Last week the births of 942 boys and 671 girls, in all 1,913 children, 'were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1852- 61 the average number (corrected) was 1,824. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.700 in. The reading was 29.46 in. on Sunday,-the 15th, rose to 29.96 in. on Thursday, and fell to 29.57 on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 54.9 deg.,which is 4.6 deg. below the ave rage ofthe sameweek in 43 years,as determined byMr. Glaisher. The weather was cold for the season. The mean daily temperature was below the average cn every day. There was rain on every day; the total quantity measured was six-tenths of an inch, more than half of which fell on Sunday. The wind was chiefly in the N.W. or other northerly directions; On Sunday it blew from the west. The lowest night temperature occurred on Sunday, the 15th,and was 45.5 deg. The hig hest da y tem p erature was69'3 deg., and occurred on Tuesday. The range of tem perature in the week was 23.8 deg. range was 16 6. The difference between the The mean d a il y n d e w-point temperature and air temp e air was deg. The mean degree of h umidity of tn eraturewas mean The proceedings of the Special Commission were resumed at Clonmel yesterday morning at ten o'clock, when the t udges took their seats on the bench. The ' reatly crowded by p ersons anxious to witness the trial of Thomas Halloran for the murder of M. Thiebault. He is what might be called a fine young man, about 22 years of age, very superior in features and dress to the poorer class of peasantry When placed at the bar ho gazed anxiously round the court, and recognised a few of his acquaintances. lie was very nervous, as was quite apparent from the way in which he clutched the rails of the dock, and from the con tinued twitching of his mouth. Tho Crown was represented by the Attorney-General, the Solicitor- General, Sergeant Armstrong, Mr. Wale, Q C., and Mr. O'Hara, Q.C. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Macdonogh and Mr. Johnstone. Seventeen jurors ivere challenged by the prisoner's attorney, and one was ordered to stand aside by the Crown. The Attorney-General stated the case, entering minutely into the details, and placing them in a clear light before the jury. Selina Steert, a Frenchwoman, was the first wit ness examined. She described the departure of M. Thiebault from his house on the morning of the murder with his dog and gun, after having taken his young child in his arms to the door of the garden. Patrick Fogarty and Margaret Lyons deposed that they saw him returning towards his own house through the fiela.p. John WoOctia,'whose tvidenee the Attorney.. General said was the turning point of the case, on which the verdict must depend, deposed that he saw M. Thiebault on the road talking to the prisoner shortly before the murder. He passed on, and heard shots fired in quick succession, when he looked back. This witness was severely cress-examined by Mr. Macdonogh, but his direct evidence was not at all shaken. He answered with readiness, direct ness, and intelligence. The case for the Crown closed at half-past six o'clock, when Mr. Macdonogh commenced his speech for the defence, which had not concluded when the Court rose at 20 minutes to eight. DUBLIN, TUESDAY NIGHT. Halloran was this evening acquitted by the jury, after an hour's deliberation. The popular joy is unbounded. Walsh is in gaol, and will be tried at the Special Commission in Limerick, which is adjourned to the Ist of July. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE NEWCASTLE RACES.-TUESDAY.

THE GIPSY MURDER.—A n inquest was held at the Waterloo Inn, Hants, on Monday evening by the coroner for the county on th e body of Eliza Colt Lee, the wife of Edward Lee, a gipsy of the well known Lee tribe. The chief witness examined was John Wyatt, a boy eight years old, who stated that he was a nephew of the deceased, and was travelling with her and her husband Edward Lee in, their van. They had returned from Ascot Races and had stopped at Waterloo on Friday night last, and left again next morning. On leaving the village the prisoner got up into the cart, and seized his wife, who was sitting on a chair near the door, and pressing her head over the half hatoh of the glom., out hor throat with a razor and then threw her out of the cart under the horse's heels, getting out of the cart himself and sitting down by the roadside, where he remained until taken into custody by the county police almost immediately afterwards. Lee told the police man who took him into custody that he had cut his wife's throat, and did it to die. It appeared, further, that Ike had been jealous of his wife's conduct when at Ascot . 7:1 , said that she had slept with another man while there, however, deceased had denied. The jury retarneclaswajltvhecur diet of wilful murder against the prisoner, who w ter Gaa committed, on the coroner's warrant, to Win_ch . f! rewa i n , for trial at the ensuing assizes.

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi ness has now become the grim torture.
