From Mr. Jackson's evidence it appeared that the pri soner left his house that morning between 4 and 5, with several others, to go to the fight between Tom Sayers and the Benicia Boy, and shortly after returned end called for gin and water, and a slight dispute arising owing to his having charged a little more for it, in consequence of his accommodating them by keeping his house open all night for them, Rowland Wade then called him a thief and a con victed thief, and struck a blow at him ever the counter, and on his coming round the counlerhe got a severe blow in the eye and a kick in the groin. Two officers, who fortunately were in the house at the time, coming to his assistance, he was saved from possibly receiving more serious injury. Sergeant Silverton, 293, A division, but attached to the C division, and who was confirmed in most material points also by Sergeant Foy, said he was at the Crown that morn ing, in accordance with instructions, when he heard some dispute about some gin and water, in the course of which Bridge and Rowland Wade called Mr. Jackson a thief. A scuffle then ensued, and Mr. Jackson was pulled by the hair of the head. lie (the sergeant) received a blow and fell, and wken he got up Bridge pinioned his arms, while the others struck him, and he was knocked down several times, notwithstanding they knew he was an officer. The Wades were drunk at the time. Robert Wade, who had a fearful wound on his head, taid he received a severe blow from Silverton, who was betting the tight would not take place. This was denied by the sergeant, who said the blow was probably caused by his falling against a stool in the melee. Mr. Jackson said the prisoner's conduct was of a most desperate kind, and but for the police he did not know what would have happened ; and that Bridge was undoubtedly the cause of the whole affair. Mr. Beadon said this was one of the brutalising offsets of these tights, nal was a perfect curse to the country, and brought a stigma on the country. It was perfectly shock ing. He should tine the two Wades £3 each, or a month ; and tr:dge £5, or a month. THE .211Ulte BY .1() ("HERS AT BEECII WOOD, ILERTY. The final inquest before the coroner, Mr. F. Day, was held on Saturday afternoon, at Beechwood Farm. The only witness who made any additions to his former depositions was William Holloway, who, it will be remembered, called at Cane's cottage on the night of the occurrence, at about 2 0 minutes to 12 o'clock, and saw Cane and Bliss there, whom he knew, and two other men whom he did not know. He stated that all four pen were standing up with their caps on. They looked like men who were going out; he told his wife so when he got home ; they were strong-built men, lie might know one of them again, whose side-face he saw. Ile saw Cane and Bliss together at Cane's cottage on the morning of that day, between 8 and 9 o'clock. When he was in Cane's cottage at night he saw one gun only, which stood in a corner. He heard of the terrible occurrence the next day, and it occurred to him that it was very likely the keepers were shot by the men whom he saw on the night before. William Burgess said they had had no poachers in the preserves since the occurrence. Police-constable Townsend said that on a piece of paper taken out of the body of the deceased there were the words " Houghton Regis" printed. The corner of the summons which was found in the wood having the word " ough" written on it, was picked up on the Saturday previous to the night of the fatal affray. We may here remark that Dunstable, Houghton, and Houghton Regis are one and the s ame place, and that it joins Dunstable and Totternhoe, the latter being the place where Bliss lives. In summing up, the coroner said he did not attribute, under the circumstances, so much import ance to Burgess's declaring that he believed it to be Cane's voice which he heard in the wood. To his mind that part of the evidence was moat im portant which proves that Burgess struck at the gun raised at him, and shows the state of Cane's gun on the morning of the murder. Stringer's evidence was most material in connexion with these circumstances, as it shows the condition the gun was in when he parted with it on the previous morning. Holloway's evidence lie considered was also of the greatest importance, as it shows that Cane and Bliss were together on Wednesday morn. ing, and also as late as a quarter to 12 o'clock on the night of the murder. The jury consulted to gether for about half an hour, and then returned a verdict of wilful murder against Cane and Bliss. A doubt has been raised - whether the murder of Seabrook, the gamekeeper, was committed in the county of Herts or Beds, the parish of Flamstead, in which the mansion of Sir Thomas Sebright and much of his preserves are situated, being in Herts, and other parts of the woods in the parish of Whip snade, in Beds. The keepers were In the county of Beds when they were shot at, and Seabrook fell with his head in Herts and his feet in Beds. RIZE ENCROACHMENTS OF THE SEA AT LARGO.—With in the last hundred years (says the IVelierald) the sea has advanced considerably inland at this place. The housei now situate close upon the beach, during high tides, are often assailed by Old Neptune. In furious rage the waves lash up upon the inn at the harbour, and westward the cottages are equally compelled to endure the force of his fury.

It will be remembered that, after Garibaldi mar ried, a considerable amount of gossip was afloat about his having separated suddenly from his wife.

All the preliminaries having been completed, Sayers and Heenan entered the ring, the former attended by Jemmy Welsh and Harry Brunton, and Heenan was waited on by 31‘Donald and another. The first few rounds were of the usual descrip- tion, but the excitement became intense on Heenan levelling a blow at Sayers, which completely knocked him off his legs. The backers of Heenan, who had evinced the greatest confi dence in their man from the commencement of the encounter, at the first knock-down blow being de clared in favour of their man, sent forth a cheer that was perfectly deafening, and on each occasion that Heenan repeated the same performance—and this occurred twenty times—their applause and cheering was tremendous. After the fight had gone on for a short time about 20 of the constabulary arrived and attempted to stay the proceedings, but the spectators and those interested in the contest prevented for some time such a proceeding; and the police, seeing they could not carry out their orders remained passive spec - tators. This incident interrupted the business, but the men got to work again in right earnest. The blows of Sayers after the twentieth round began to show very visibly on Heenan, and the punishment he was receiving seemed to increase rather than diminish his energies. From the 20th to the 30th round the hitting on both sides severe ; Heenan, although severelyp wasunish veryed , still came up to time with alacrity. At this point the police made another attempt to stop the fight, but their efforts were again frus trated, and just at this moment Heenan got hold of Sayers by the ropes, and held him there until he nearly strangled him. Sayers made a desperate effort to release himself from such an unpleasant situation, but before he had completely succeeded in so doing the police and mob had nearly broken into the ring. Great excitement here took place, during which the referee left the ring. The men fought a round or so more, although Heenan was nearly blind. At the 39th round, Heenan came up to the scratch, but Sayers had, owing to the absence of the referee, quitted the ring. The fight was claimed, amidst loud cheering and confusion, for Heenan, but the supporters of Sayers refused to accede to such a decision, and thus the contest for the present terminated. Heenan is very severely punished, but Sayers has not suffered to anything like the same extent. Heenan's blows, it was evident throughout the fight, did not tell like Sayers', and all present seemed to be of opinion that a more honest or upright fight had never taken place. There was no shifting or dodging on the part of either of the com petitors—everything was fair, straightforward, and thoroughly English. . The fight lasted two hours and eight minutes. Shortly after the fight, Heenan and Sayers, and their friends, left for London. Heenan is much injured about the eyes, and wholly blind. Some officers of the Hampshire police followed to town by the train, which arrived at 2.30, with the view of arresting Heenan and Sayers, and some parties who resisted the police. MANUFACTURE OF ANCHORS AND CABLES FOR TILE IIIEIeCHANT SERVICE. The select committee appointed to inquire into the manufacture of anchors and chain cables for the merchant service, and who were empowered to re port their observations, together with the minutes of the evidence taken before them, have considered the matters to them referred, and have agreed to the following report :- 1. That at the outset of this inquiry, it was esta blished in evidence, that the loss of chain cables by parting, and of anchors by breaking, is of rare occurrence in her Majesty's navy ; and that this appears to arise from their having been subjected to a sufficient test before they are received from the contractors, and also from their being thoroughly examined, and in many cases re-tested when re turned into store, or before they are again issued for service. 2. That a variety of witnesses, chain-makers shipowners, engineers, and persons conversant with shipping, examined before the committee, concur in the opinion that it is highly expedient that chain cables and anchors for the merchant service should be subjected to an ade quate test before they are used, as it would be the means of saving much life and property. 3. That a considerable portion of cables now made for the merchant service are of inferior iron and defective workmanship. 4. That the corporation of Liverpool and Har bour Trust of that port have for many years em ployed a testing machine of limited power, which is kept in full employment; and that since this inquiry was ordered by the House of Commons, it appears that the Harbour Trust, to meet the demands of that port, have decided on the erection of machines of greater capacity and power. That it is also in evidence that, during a period of five years of cables sent to the Liverpool testing machine, 821 per cent. are imperfect cables. 5. That in Sunderland two testing machines have been for some time in operation, which, although private property, are accessible to all, and that the superior character of chain cables made in that district is in a great measure due to the results of these testing machines. 6. That from the evidence of all the witnesses examined, your committee has formed the opinion that nothing but the use of proper testing machines can afford any guarantee for the soundness of cables or anchors, as defects may exist, either from bad ness of material or imperfect welding, which no in spection can detect; and so closely can the tena cious quality of iron be calculated, that chains may be made to bear a given strain, which would break if the least excess of it were applied. 7. That though instances have lien adduced by some witnesses to support the opinion that the ap plication of a severe strain in testing has an inju rious effect on a cable, this idea seems to the com mittee to be completely refuted by the evidence of Mr. Wilcocks, and by the results of experiments made at Woolwich, and referred to in his evidence. - 8. That all the witnesses examined agree in the utility of a test, and some of them, including all the manufacturers of chain cables examined, desire that its use should be compulsory, as many cables are now sold with false certificates. 9, That good grounds having been established in this inquiry for recommending the adoption of public tests, the only questions which remain are, the authorities into whose hands this duty should be confided, and the regulations that should be enforced. 10. That your committee are of opinion that bodies enjoying the confideece of the mercantile and shipping interest, and whose local residence will ensure an adequate superintendence (such as dock trustees), are the proper persons to under take this duty ; and that the regulations under which they act should be approved of b y the Board of Trade. 11. That in order to suit the convenience of ma nufacturers of chains and anchors who have testing machines on their own premises, the Board of Trade, on receiving a requisition from any such manufacturer, should appoint inspect ors to attend the testing of chains or anchors, and give cer tificates, according to printed regulations to be framed for that purpose, of the strain applied to them, which should be the test applicable to their size. 12. That although the committee cannot overrate the advantage of having the chains of every vessel subjected to a test, they are unwilling to recom mend that the test should be made compulsory, but as they have recommended the general use of test ing machines, they consider that all ships launched after the Ist January, 1861, which come under the provisions of the Passenger Act, or are employed by any . department of her Majesty's Government, either in the conveyance of emigrants or troops, should be required to produce certificates that their cables have been properly tested. 3s. all 5 100 all all all 1 100 1 all all all all 100 100 100 102 i 101 334 914 2 I 4 834 981 1 nelper, ana THE DIVORCE COURT BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of this bill, which was brought in previous to the Easter recess, the object of which was to enable the Judge Ordi nary of the Court of Divorce to call in the aid of some of the other judges in oi der that the business of the court might be more expeditiously disposed of. The number of causes had so increased that it was absolutely impossible without assistance was granted that they could be disposed of for a considerable length of time. The bill enabled him, in cases of doubt, to call in one or two of the other judges be fore he pronounced final judgment. but in eases where there was no doubt he might dispose of them without the neces sity of forming a full court. Lord ST. LEONARDS said he hoped if the bill was read a second time it would be referred to a select committee, composed as nearly as possible of those noble and learned lords who sat in com mittee on the original bill. He thought the house ought to be very cautious before they conferred upon a single judge the power of dissolving a marriage. The Judge- Ordinary did not possess the power at present, because before such a decision could be pronounced, a full court, consisting of two other judges at least, had to be formed, Lord LYNDHURST said that some change was abso lately. necessary. The Divorce Court had been established a little more than two years, and in that time no less than 420 causes had been set down for hearing. The Court had disposed of only 177 out of the number, leaving 232 to be disposed of. Now, supposing the court to proceed as rapidly as it had done during the time it had been in existence, it would take four years to get through the whole of the re maining causes, taking no notice of the causes that would be entered during that time. The Judge Ordinary, it was agreed by all parties, was a person of great energy ; but it was clear that some assistance must be afforded him. The number of full courts that had been held during the last two years was only 65, little better than 30 in each year, a number quite inadequate to transact the business of the court. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(This EVENING The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Calne Railway Bill were considered and agreed to. The following bills were read a third time :—Andover and Redbridge Railway; Tewkesbury, U p ton-upon- Severn and Malvern Junction Railway. The 'East India Ceal Company Bill and Highland Roads and Bridges Bill were read a second time. PETITIONS.

RETURNS . Mr. BOVILL moved an address for return of the seve• ral parliamentary boroughs in England and Wales having a population of less than 12,000, according to the census of 1851; showing the total number of electors in 1832-3 and 1859-60 ; the number of freemen and the number of elec tors minus freemen, with the number of members returned by each, arranged according to population (in extension of parliamentary paper No. 132 of the present session, which is confined to boroughs having a population of less than 7,000). —Ordered. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES. Mr. SOTIIERON ESTCOURT presented an address for return from each of the registrars of friendly societies in England, Scotland, and Ireland, of the form of the general statement of the funds and effects of a friendly society, prepared pursuant to the Act 18 and 19 Vic., c. 63, s. 45 ; how many of such forms were sent out by each of such registrars in the month of December last, and how many of such general statements, or copies of the last annual reports of friendly societies, were transmitted to each of such registrars on or before the 31st day of March, 1860.—Ord *red. RESERVE NAVAL FORCE. Sir C. NAPIEIt gave - notice that on that day fortnight he would draw the attention of the House to, and move an address to her Majesty:on, this subject. CHURCH RATES. Sir J. TRELA WNEY hoped that tho Government would for the convenience of the house and the public make a statement as to whether the Church-rates Bill could be proceeded with on Thursday next. DISTRESS IN THE WEST OF IRELAND. Mr. HENNESSY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the Government intended to take any steps with reference to the great destitution prevailing in the west of Ireland ? The hon. member stated that he would also ask what reply the Government had given to the letter, dated the 18th of March, and signed by 28 Roman Catholic bishops, with reference to the system of national education in Ireland ? Mr. CARDWELL said that, unfortunately, there was great distress in the part of Ireland alluded to by the hon. gentleman. He was in communication with the able gentlemen who superintended the working of the poor law in Ireland, and he had every reason to rely on the opera tion of the poor law, but he could hold out no hope of any other interposition. ---- • --- INDIAN FINANCE. Mr. VANSITTART asked the Secretary of State for India which of the following financial estimates of the deficiency of income as against the expenditure of the current year ending the 30th April is correct, namely, £10,250,000, as per the statement made by the Secretary of State for India on the Ist of August last ; £6,449,981, as per financial balance-sheet drawn up in Calcutta in Sept. last ; £9,290,129, as per estimate submitted by Mr. Wilson on the 18th Feb. last to the Legislative Council of Calcutta; and, whether he can state the cause of these discrepancies. Sir C. WOOD said that even from the moat recent infor mation he had received he was not in a position to account for the discrepancies in question. Last summer he had made a statement relative to Indian finance, the Govern ment of India made a different one, and Mr. Wil son one that was also different from his. How ever, it was satisfactory that there had been an im provement in the income of India since he had made his statement. THE PEDESTAL AT WATERLOO-PLACE. Mr. E. JAMES asked the First Commissioner of Works whether any person was about to place anything, and, if anything, what, upon the summit of a pedestal which has been standing for twelve months at the southern end of Waterloo-place, ; and if anything was to be placed there, when it might be expected to be done ? Mr. COW PER said it was intended to place a statue on the pedestal to commemorate the bravery of the Guards at the Crimea. The statue was entrusted to Mr. Bell, and he believed it would be worthy of the object proposed. MORTALITY ON BOARD OF VESSELS BOUND TO INDIA. Sir DE LACY EVANS asked the Secretary of State for War or for India, if the statement in the public journals relative to the mortality which had occurred on board of various vessels which had arrived at Madras and Bombay with the wives and children of soldiers be correct ; andif , so, what department or officer may be regarded as respon sible for any neglect of due precautions, if such had been, in connection with this lamentable event ? Sir C. WOOD could not state exactly the amount of the ' mortality in question, but be believed it resulted from the number of the children on board these vessels. AMY ESTIMATES. In reply to Gen. PEEL, Mr. S. HERBERT stated that it was not the intention of Government to proceed with tarmy es timates until after the second reading of the tome Bill. THE CHAMPION FIGHT. Mr. HADFIELD inquired of the Home Secretary for some information relative to the fight alleged to have taken place this day between two pugilists—whether the police were present and whether they interfered, and if the Government intended to take any steps. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that he had received no official information on t he subject; but that he understood from the papers that the fight had taken place in Hampshire. It was a matter for the attention of the county and not the Metropolitan Police. BANK NOTES. Mr. ALDERMAN SALOMONS moved for a return 01 the bank-notes issued by the Issue Department of the Bank of England in each week of the present year, from the 4th January to the 11th day of April in clusive ; showing the amount remaining in the bank ing department in each week, and the denomina tion and amount of the notes in the hands of the public ; similar return for the corresponding periods of the years 1856, 1857, 1858, and 1859 ' and, weekly return for the same periods of the notes issued by the Issue Department, with the securities and bullion held against them.—Ordered. PUBLIC BUSINESS. In reply to Hon. MEMBERS, Lord PALMS RSTON said that it was proposed to proceed with the New Lunacy Bill on Thursday and the Reform Bill on Monday, and that Government business, according to the resolution of the house, would be taken on Thursdays instead of Fridays, but that the former day would be at the disposal of private members.
