The Ministerial majority of 6'T on Friday egoning, respeeting the Government of India Bill, was followed by another of 65 last night, by . Which the amendment of Lord JOHN RUSSELL - was rejected, and the elective principle affirmed I The sth resolution was (tiler a fruitless motion that the chairman should report progress, nega tived by a majority of 84,) carried without a division. The plan so strongly advocated by the self-constituted leaders of the Liberal party - Lords J. RUSSELL and PALMERSTON—was dis posed of by the independent party, who have . proved, beyond the possibility of a doubt, their determination not to march through Coventry with men whose political characters have been worn so completely threadbare, and assumed an appearance so ragged and seedy. Lord JoHN RUSSELL was, as usual, the pioneer. His adventurous band is always ready to attack any obstacle, and he there fore took the command of the experimental squa dron. His object was to have all the members of the Council nominated by the Crown, i e., by the Mizister for the time tieing. He c tied but little whether the t erm o f t h e serv i ce was for life, or for a p ro tracted o r brief period, provided the bete noir of independent election was set aside. Under that syst.o there could be no possibility of perpetrating a Whi 4 )oh, or making comfort able provision for a RUSSELL or -..LLIOTT, a GREY Or WOOD. Hine ilia ja c h rpm 4:e. Hence the complaints against anything that co n f ers the m ui coveted patronage on oth er hands those that of the responsible advisers of the Crown. The motives of the Noble Lord were, how. ever, too transparent. They could not be mis understood by any person, however prejudiced. Load STANLEY had already explained the serious rHE sum LONDONv'' TUESDAY 2_,EV E -NIN-G, JUNE l5, 1858. objections to nominations either during good behaviour—virtually for life—for long terms of years, or for short periods, with power of reno mination. If appointed for life, or, like the Judges, during good behaviour, there would be the chance of their becoming incompetent from age or ill-health ; and public opinion could not be brought to bear on them as in the case of Judges, who are subjected almost daily to the strictures of a most critical audience. A long term of years would be equally objection able. There would be a total absence of responsibility, and also of motive for exertion, while the party might be compulsorily removed at the moment when he was most efficient and his services were most valuable. The short period, with the privilege of renomination, would be perhaps the worst of any, for then the party would always seek to curry favour with those through whose instrumentality he might hope to retain the enviable position he was occupying. The principle of election by an independent constituency, for a moderate term, is not open to any of these well-founded objections. Then the member can maintain his own ♦iews without greatly caring how palateable they may be to the Government of the day. He has nothing to fear from its animosity, or to hope from its favours. He must look to the wishes and desires of those by whom he was elected, and from whom he may again hope for a similar mark of confi dence. Of course it is essential that the Crown should be represented in such a council—that men of great eminence just returned from India, and thoroughly acquainted with the existing state of affairs, should be enabled to ob tain seats without being subjected to the delay and annoyance of a contested election. A few should, therefore, be nominated ; but the majo rity ought to come before a constituency, on whom it would be impossible to exercise undue influence. The qualifications of the members, and the nature and extent of the constituency have yet to be decided ! On these points Sir JAMES GRAHAM has a hobby of his own. He wishes to build on the old:foundation—" stare super anti " quas vias." With this purpose he desires to make the new council as like the old Court of Directors as possible, and that the members should be nominated in the bill, and approved of by Parliament, holding their offices darn se bene gesserint, and to be mainly selected from the present Court. These suggestions will be consi dered, but although they may be partially acted on, we scarcely think that they will supersede the Government resolutions. The Cambridge-House conspirators have bit on another artful dodge to displace the Government, for whose places they are craving. Having failed in persuading the Independent Liberals that they should array themselves under the PALMERSTON RUSSELL motley banner, in order to attack a SO. I called Tory Administration,they are now striving to create dissension in the ranks of the Derbyiteg, by showing that more has been conceded to the Liberal cause than either could or would have been by Lord PALMERSTON. They are appealing to the bigotry of the ex treme section, l to the Spooners and Newde gates, et hoc genus omne. They, who professed to be the unflinching advocates of Jewish eman eipation ,groan in spirit at the settlement of the dispute, which they took care to keep open, as a for midable instrument against their opponents. They complain because the property qualification has been given up, and the gigantic) sham abolished. The prospects of the extension of the county franchise, of the annihilation of church rates, and of a fair and well-considered reform bill is hateful to their sight, and the more so because others will receive the credit which they desired to monopolise for themselves, if haply they should be forced to swallow the leeks forced upon their unwilling stomachs. The dodge is an artful one, but it will not suc ceed. It will merely excite disgust, and indig nation at the tortuous course pursued by those, who, when in place, received a far more liberal and generous treatment from their opponents. The howl of the Times, acting, of course, in obedience to instructions from head-quarters, is against the Derbyites carrying measures which their ad versaries could not and would not pass. They hint, as if it were a reasonable ground of com plaint, that in a short time ' there will be nothing objectionable to give up—no shred or vestige of Toryism remaining. Is not this what the country requires, what any but the members of the Cerberus Club would hail with triumphant potans! Such measures were urgently required. They have been granted, but, like naughty ur chins, we must assail our benefactors, who bring us really good things, and cry out for old nurse PALMERSTON, whn, although liberal of promise, is notoriously scant of performance. The people will not, however, be so easily duped as either Lord PALMERSTON or his organ may imagine. They will look to the real facts and think for themselves, notwithstanding the spas modic efforts of the Times to warp their judg ment and betray their interests. The Govern ment do not leave an opening for the attacks of the Leviathan in one direction, so ano ther is sought for, and sneers against the weakness of the Ministry are substituted for fierce onslaughts against their resisting the popular will. But where was the strength of Lord PA.LMERSTON—was he not also holding offie) merely on sufferance ? Although he attempted to disguise the fact by contumacious And insolent treatment of all who f. ll beneath his lash, his personal follow • ing was far inferior in number, standing, and ability to that of Lord DERRY; and he must at length profit by the bitter lesson which he has received, that it is no longer possible to humbug the British Parliament or the British nation.

PARIS, TUESDAY. The resignation of General Espinasse is accepted and M. Delangle, President of the Imperial Court of Paris, is appointed Minister of the Interior. General Espinasse receives a seat in the Senate. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The Plenipotentiaries met in conference to-day. The admission of the principle of the political sepa ration of the Principalities has been confirmed in an unguarded moment of candour by the Govern ment print, the Patrie. But the short paragraph which announces it has cost the Patrie a sound rating for its indiscretion, and orders are sent round to its complacent contemporaries not to copy the Patrie. So much for the liberty of the press ! It is indeed rather mortifying that, after all the vapourings of the Moniteur and the Ministerial press, the pretensions of the political union of the provinces have to be renounced, and the chance of some brilliant foreigner wearing the Moldo-Walla chia❑ crown are considerably diminished. The Courier de Paris gives the following account of the election for members of the Council-General at Dijon. Marshal Vaillant obtained 1,075 votes against 516 given to M. de Bourceret, the Opposi tion candidate. M. Vernier, Deputy and Mayor of Dijon, obtained 935 votes, against 302 given to M. Gavalre, the Opposition candidate. M. Detour bet, the government candidate, obtained 737 votes against 350 given to M. Magnin Philippon, the opposition candidate. M. Chevalier, government candidate, 954 votes against 475 to M. Luce Veil lard, the opposition candidate. It is said that the military authorities have de cided that it is not expedient to institute any legal proceedings against the military men engaged in the late duel in which M. de Pene was wounded, the civil authorities having negatived the proceed ings against the civilians. The weather, which was much cooler in Paris on Friday and Saturday, is nearly as hot to-day as it was previous to the rain last week. The thermo meter marked 92 Fahrenheit (331 centigrade) in the shade at 3 p.m. Fortunately, the heat is tem pered by a light breeze from the west. BOURSE, Juno 14.

Private letters from Greece speak of the disturbed state of Candia as more grave even than is generally reported. One third of the population of the island is composed of Mussulmans, and most of them have been obliged to abandon the open plains and come into the fortified places. Moreover, a certain number of Christian families have aban doned the country and gone to the islands of Syra and Milo, which belong to the kingdom of Greece. If the charges brought against the Governor, Vely Pasha, b? not exaggerated, the Christians must have greatly suffered ; and he, too, must have greatly changed. No man could be more tolerant, more liberal—to all appearance—in political and religious matters than Vely Pasha during his resi dence in this country ; and he was about the last person supposed capable of such acts of oppression. It is thought there is more in it than meets the eye as yet. NAPLES. A. telegraphic dispatch received at Naples an nounces that the electric cable between the citadel of Messina and the new fort of Reggio was success. fully sunk on the 4th of this month. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 10th do not contain any political news. The Queen had sent one of the officers of the Royal household to the Asturias to prepare for her reception, and had caused an appli cation to be made to the Marquis de Santiago for permission to occupy a fine mansion which he pos sesses at Airle3. The Novedades of Madrid mentions a horrible crime. A little boy, aged 9, son of a gentleman named Portero, of Ciudad Real, was lately carried off by a gang of bandits, and a ransom of 200,000 reals was demanded from his parent , , to be paid by a given day. The ransom not having been sent" the boy was barbarously murdered, and his dead body was thrown into a well, at a few hundred yards from the wall of the town. WEST INDIA MAI Cr. SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 14. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Atrato, Capt. F. Woolley, arrived this day, at 11 a.m., from the West Indies, with the usual mails in charge of Lieut. Pickell, Admiralty agent. On her home ward voyage the Atrato experienced very flue weather. The latest dates brought by the Atrato are Santa Martha, May 22 ; Grey Town, 17 ; Deme rara, 25 ; Trinidad, 25 ; Cat tbagena, 26 ; Jamaica, 27 ; Grenada, 26 ; Barbadoes, 27 ; Jacmel, 23 ; Antigua, 29 ; St. Kitts, 29 ; Nevis, 22 ; Mont serrat, 29 ; Porto Rico, 30 ; St. Thomas, June 1. BARi3ADOES. There has been a very agreeable change in the weather during the last fortnight, and one or two parishes have finished crop, and the others are pushing ou rapidly to a close. It would be pre mature to state even a probable aggregate of the crop through the island, but it is generally ex pected to be in excess of last year's. Notwithstand• ing the adverse weather which the greater portion of it will have been reaped, the produce expected to date amounts to 29,679 hhds., 2,529 trs., 8,182 brls., sugar; 4,321 puns., 113 hhds., 239 bras., mo lasses ; 355 puns., 100 hhds., rum. The public health continues good. JAMAICA. The business of the last fortnight has been marked with a little more activity than usual. Coffee in very small supply, and there is no pimento offering. The health of the island continues good, and the -weather-very-dry ; and should this weather continue it will have a very serious influence on the growing crops. ANTIQUA. The commission appointed by the governor for the trial of the persons concerned in the late riots, was opened on the 10th instant—the chief-justice presiding—and up to the latest date 35 true bills had been found by the grand jury against some 70 persons. DEMERARA. The papers report the arrival, on 10th May, of Governor and Mrs. Wodehouse from Martinique. The crops were locking well. TRINIDAD. No news of any importance. The weather had been very dry, and the want of rain was much felt. ST. THOMAS. The weather had been very fine, and not a single case of fever had been reported amongst the shipping. THE PACIFIC. By the arrival a'. SAlthampton of the West India mAil steamer Atrato wo have received files of the Panama Star and Herald to the 24th ult. The st ‘anaship Lena, Captain Bloomfield, from Callao, Hay 12, arrived in the harbour of Panama on the afternoon of the 21st. In Peru President Castilla had issued orders for a general election for President, Vice-Presi vent, a.id Congressmen. Th. 3 Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates in the field were Cas tilla and La Ma-, Elias and YillArte, San Roman and Castillo. The cont es t wou ld be between the two former. From Valparaiso - we have files of papers to the 30th April. The election excitement had died away, and the fear of an outbreak was f or t h e pre sent removed. The . 6 overnment party had a ma jority over the Opposition. Dun Jeronimo Urme neta, Minister of the Interior, had resigned. Dr. Phillipi had made an examination of the province of Valdivia, by order of the G , wernment ; hi s re port was iooked for with muchinterest. A number of emigrants from the Tyrol were shortly expected to arrive in Chili. Coal of good quality has been discovered in Chiloe. The latest, date from La Paz are to the 28th. The Pi esident, Dr. Linareg, still continued to adopt rigo•ous measures to check the various re volutionary movements. The press had been silenced, and no person, eithar publicly or in private, was allowed to express an opinion on the acts of the Government. The arrival of General Belzu was anxiously looked for by the party op posed to the present government. Considerable attention had been recently at tracted to the geld washings of Tipuani, and two companies had been formed in La Paz for the pur pose of exploring the mines. A very severe shock of earthquake was experi enced at Lima on the 11th, which lasted 50 seconds, and the alarm and confusion were frightful. Busi ness had been very dull for the last few months, owing to the few vessels that had been chartered by the guano contractors. A large fleet of Ameri can vessels was in Callao Bay, waiting for charters. The ship Gladiator reported having, in the latitude of Coquimbo, experienced the shock of an earth quake, and the bi ig Globe also reported having felt the same at sea.

The completion of the international telegraph will be the first step towards the federal union of ' the group of Southern and Eastern Australian colonies ; and a system of railways which will connect New South Wales, Victoria, and Adelaide with each other will hasten an event which cannot, judging from all appearances, be very long delayed. The disadvantages which, in regard to the commu• nication with this country, are felt by some of the colonies will be almost entirely removed when the electric telegraph will be able to flash the heads of the commercial and political intelligence almost instantaneously to each of the provinces. Of the four colonies which it is sought to bring into communication with each other by means of the electric telegraph Victoria has made the most rapid progress. We learn from the report of Mr. M‘Gowan, the Government Superintendent of Te legraphs, that in Ddcember last the Victorian por tions of the two lines for connecting Melbourne with Sydney and Adelaide were completed to the boundaries of New South Wales and South Aus tralia respectively to the Murray on the north-east and to the Glenelg on the west. During the past year the new lines completed within the colony of Victoria itself rare— an extension from Fiery Creek to Ararat ; a cross lino from Castlemaine to Ballarat through Maryborough, Dunolly, and Creswick ; an exten sion from Sandhurst to the Murray, at Echuca; and a new - line from Geelong to Cape Otway, to meet the submarine cable from Tasmania. In , South Australia the progress which has been made is not so groat as in the neighbouring colony, but it is expected that early in next March the line will be completed from Adelaide to the boundary of Victoria. The contractors for cornple•ing the work have met with considerable obstacles, owing to the absence of timber suitable for posts for the wires for a distance of nearly 200 miles along the route which had been selected. The difficulty of con veying these posts for such distances has been a very formidable one; but it is expected that the through communbation will be established be tween Adelaide ard Victoria by the time we have stated. New Soath Wales is more backward with the work thin Adelaide, but it is antici pated that the lire from Sydney to the boun dary of Victoria wll be finished by July, 1859. The principal cause of the delay in New South Wales has been the failure of the contractor when but a small portion of the line had been constructed. A. fresh contract vas, however, entered into with another person last December, who is bound to execute the work vith as much despatch as possible. Some portions of :he country to be passed over present physical difficulties to the construction of the line, but these are not of such a nature as may not be surmountel with ordinary energy and per serverance. Tasmania, cut off from the continent of Australia, like our own country from Europe, must be connected to the general system, of course, by means of a submarine telegraph. Tho contract for manufacturing the necessary oable has been undertaken in this country, and in a few weeks will be reaiy for shipment. The line will be laid from a spa near the mouth of the Parker River at Cape Otway, whence it will cross the straits to King's Island, a distance of about 55 miles. and thence to the small Hunter's Island, and then to a suitable landing-place near Cape Grim, but bearing the more agreeable name of " Victoria Cove." . The actual distance traversed between the northern part of Tasmania and the southern point of Victoria is 127 miles, of which about 100 will be submarine ; the soundings which have been taken show Oral the bed of the straits has a gently undulating surface, and composed for the most part of coarse sand and broken shells, and being in every re.Tect well adapted for she deposition of the cable. The best time for laying the cab!e will be, it is said, the month of December, so that by the end of the present year we may hope to be able to congratulate the colonies on their nnion with Tasmania by an additional link beyond that of common brotherhood and origin. The works on the island required to connect Hobart Town with the northern coast are progressing favourably.—Australian, and New Zealand Ga zette. DREADFUL MURDER IN STAFFORDSHIRE . The county of Stafford has again been the scene of a brutal murder. The particular spot at which the tragedy occurred is called Brockmcor. It is at. ou. lying district in the parish of Kintswinford, oa t' e confines of Worcestershire, a few yards rithin the Staffordshire boundary, aril about three miles from Dudley. It is a populous locality, within the South Stafford mining district. The cir cumstances attendant upon the commission of the murder, and the motive of its perpetration, are involved in much mystery. The facts, so far as they are known, may be briefly stated. On Thursday afternoon the murdered man was drink ing • with a friend at a beerhouse at Brockmoor. His name was Wm. Collier. He is suppmed to have been a native of Manchester, where he ;elided until within a comparatively recent period. Ile was by trade an engineer, and worked as a fitter for Messrs, Brown and Freer of Brockmoor. He is said to have been about 42 years of age, and a widower. His friend, Jabez Onions, was a native of Bilston, in Staffordshire, and also a fitter by trade. Ho is said to be of roving, unsettled habits, and to have been in the navy. He was out of em ploy, and, calling at Brown and Freer's on Thurs day to ask for employment, was invited by his friend Collier to have some drink at a neighbour ing b erhou . ie, to which they adjourned, and re mained clinking from noon until ten o'clock at night. The quantity of ale they consumed during that time came to 12s. 9d., and was put down to a fellow-workman of Collier's who had lodged at the beerhous', Collier hating no money and being almost a stranger. In the course of the evening Onions remarked that he should have to stay out all night, whereupon a man who was drinking with thew offered him share of his bed ; but Collier objected, insisting that Onions should accompany him to >Lis lodgings at Dudley, and spend the night there. Timis was agreed to, and shortly after ten o'clock they started for Dudley, Collier More leaving theThaa•liouie - ge tting his breakfast can filled with a l e , w hi c h h e t oo k a way with him. Nothing further was seen of them until five o'clock on the following morning, when a man named Sheldon, in going from Brockmoor to work near Dudley, found the body of Collier brutally mur d..elds, ered, fields, a near a footpath leading across some a few hundred yards only from the beer ho. use where ho h a d b een drinking on the preceding night. Ho was frightfully beaten about the head, and the skull was completely smashed. Near the body was a large stake, with which it is suppose I the murder was committed. The stake had blood upon it, and its having been found near the body favoured the su pp o sition that the un fortunate zna,u had been killed by it ; but other circumstances appeared adverse to that supposition. The stake had been drawn out of the fence at an opening between two fields, a short distance from the place where the body was found, and its dimen sions are such as to render it extremely 1000UVC nient as a weapon of offence. It is of oak, at least five feet long, two inches by four in thickness, and nearly 401 h. in weight. Thera were no appearances of any struggle having t tken place near the spot, nor had an . vthing transpired up to Saturday "veiling caleuhted to throw light on the matter. Tile (.:(3.lres of the inur& red man had evid , nally not been diAturbe:l, consequently robbery could nit hare bleu Cm motive fur the crime. In his pockets w( re found a knife, a rule, and a squ (re used in his trade, the can he had filled with ale on leaving the beer-house, which had not been inter f. with, Rile, his cap was on his head. Suspicion natu , ally p, , int s to Onions as the murderer, and the fact of his not having been seen in the neighbour hood since favours the supposition. But, on the other hand, what motive could lead him to commit such a crime it is difficult to conjecture. He and deceased had long been on the most ft iendly terms, and it is not known there was any ground of between them. The police have a clue to the where abouts of Onions, and it is believed he will soon be iu custody ; then possibly so me light may b e thrown on the affair. Meantime the police are vigorously prosecuting inquiries, which it. is hoped will nut be fruitless. An inquest was opened before Mr. T. M. Phillips, coroner, on Saturday evening, and adjourned until Tuesday, the 22d inst. , in order that a post-mortem examination of the body may be made, and all possible information obtained by the police. SPORTING NOTES. A BATCH OF ANTICIPATIONS. Racing men will quite enjoy their daily ride through the pleasant glides and over the breezy downs, to and from the picturesque course at Stockbridge. The sport will be just sufficient to excite interest and qualify curiosity, without fa tiguing the spectator ; whilst the absence of all crowd and noise will render the proceedings doubly pleasant. To morrow will be devoted to the equestrian exploits of the members of the Bibury Club, and they wilt agreeably inau gurate the sport in the South. The only event on which I shall " advise," as the Tipotus have it, shall be the Champagne Stakes, which seems likely to be won by Marionette. It has been remarked, with truth, that the list for the Stockbridge meeting seems like a large slice cut out of a Goodwood programme. Certes on Thursday a rare day's sport will be afforded, and it is a significant proof of the popularity of the Stockbridge meeting, that horses from the far North are rent to contest its stakes. On Sunday morning early I met George Abdale seated on the van which contained Ignoramus, en route to the Waterloo Station. Th© Triennial Stakes for four year-olds will be won by Anton. Beadsman ought to carry off the Triennial Stakes for three-year olds ; and the Triennial for two-year-olds may go to either Bouquet or St. Clarence. The Stock bridge Derby I shall assign to Eclipse ; and the Mottisfoat to Actaeon. The Steward's Plate is likely to afford a most in teresting encounter ; and Fisherman will, perhaps, a second time encounter Sedbury, and he will also have to try his strength against Ignoramus. Should Fisherman have Wells up, I shall not be amongst his opponents. Northern turfites will have quite a jolly meeting at Beverley. The sport commences to-morrow, and will be brought to a conclusion on Thursday. The list contains 13 items. A FRESH MAN. TATTERSALLS I -YESTERDAY. the early past of the afternoon as usual at this period of the year, was occupi e d i s settling accounts. Herne supplanted Underhand as first favourite for the Nor thumberland Plate. At first Bto 1 was laid against the latter, whilst 5 to 1 was offered against Herne ; at last, however, 6 to 1 was the highest offer against Underhand. For the Goodwood Stakes, Harry Bluff was at the close as good a favourite as Rosati, who receded from 100 to Btol4 to 1. Offers were made to back Harry Bluff for an even 100 against anything. The horses in most request for the Derby were Mujid, Ticket-of-Leave, Balnamoon, and Electric.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR 60/.—A scullers' race, though by no means an Exciting one, came off yesterday for the above amount, over the Metropolitan course. from Put ney to Mortlake. The competitors were Thomas Can• non, of Wapping, and George Wade, of Ratcliffe, both well known to fame ; and, that the contest might be witnessed, the Venus had been chartered, and was full. The conditions were that Cannon should have two lengths' start, Wade having defeated him a short time ago ; and the distance having been measured, they took up their stations at Putney, Cannon winning the Mid dlesex side. They presumed the distance for 200 yards, when Wade began to come up, and soon went by him, but at the end of a mile Cannon was again ahead, soon after which they fouled, but, continuing to row, Cannon went right away, and came in first by a long distance. No dec;sion with respect to the funds has been come to, the referee reserving it. SCULLERS' RACE FOR £5O A-SIDE.—The match between Robert Bain, of Lambeth, and B. Oxlade, of St. Paul's-wharf, takes place on Th ursday, June 24. B )th men are in excellent condition—Bain being under the care of George Driver, and Ozlade under H. Salter. The Vanua steamer is hired for the occasion. The betting is in favour of Oxiade, the other being a landsman, and his first appearance as a sculler. The Marchioness of Waterford, shortly after her lady ship arrived in town from the Continent, left to join the noble marquis at his seat in Ireland. Baroness Adolphe de Rothschild has arrived at Claridge's Hotel, from Naples. Hamburg advices state that money finds more em ployment, and tharthere is a tendency to a revival of commercial activity. MESMERIC INFIRMARY.—In our report of the meeting on Saturday last, an error occurred as to the time Jas. Chi rebid, who was cured of paralysis, was under treat ment. It was etated to have been three mouths ; it should have been one month! BITE OF A VIPER AT H AMPSTEAD. —Yesterday, Mts. Hoxwell, of Park-street, Regent's -park, was walking in the fields in company with some friends at West-end, Hampstead, when sitting down upon the grass she was bitten by a viper that lay there concealed. The reptile was k I:ed. Mrs. Hex Nell was taken with all baste to the nearest surgeon's, who applied the usual remedies, and she was removed to her residerice, but is nut ex pected to survive. THE MURDER NEAR NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE.—Two lengthened investigations w ere h e ld on W e d nes d ay an d Thursday, i n t o the circumstance s of the murder of Jane Kayne, at St. Anthony's, NewcaAle-an-Tyne, on Sun day morning, the 30. h ult. The following men were charged with being concerned in the murder :—Joseph Johnson, Andrew Bertram, ,Tas. Cameron, and John Sloane. The magiAratee determined to commit them all to the town assizes to take their trials upon the charge of wilful reuider. ACCIDENT TO MR. WILLIAM COOKE, JUN.—On Thurs day evening, in the spectacle entited "The White Pal freY,” Mr. Cooke'e steed had to fall wounded at the report of a pi,tol, when the horse pranced too high, and fed with the rider's leg under him, the ankla being se verely hurt. Mr. Cooke west through the performance wi:h some difficulty, and, we regret to say, he hrs not since been able to leave his moue—Era- FREEDOM OF M.P.'s FROM ARREST.—A bill of Mr. Hunt, M P., Mr. fie t, M.P., and Mr. Knighilsy, M.P., ale fishes freedom from arrest or iniprieoninent in the case of members of Parliament, upon the judgment, rule, order, or decree of any court of competent jurisdic tion. The privilege of freedom from arrest is rather un certain in cases of a dissolution of Parliament. An at tempt was made at the general election of 1847 to ar rest Mr. W. S. B ackstone, the ex-member for Walling ford, on the hustings ; and in the same year Mr. T. S. Duncombe, the member for Finsbury, was actually ar rested on a judgment debt in Yorkshire, after hie elec tion, and temporarily incarcerated in a.debtors' prison, from which, however, he was released by a judge's order in chambers, on the strength of a well-known dictum of Blackstone, which the Court of Queen's Bench, on ap peal, declined to disturb or dispute. C IMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) William Lewes, a respectable-looking young man, aged 32, described as a chemist, pleaded guilty to a charge of fraudulently obtaining 24 canvas bags, value 10s. There were several other charges against the prisoner for a similar offence. Mr. Bodk;n, on the patt of the Crown, elected to receive the prisoner's confession on the first charge, and having explained the system under which the prisoner obtained the bags, The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. Charles Randall, aged 40, a letter-sorter in the General Post Office, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a letter containing a gold watch. There was also another charge of stealing a letter con taining money. Mr. Bodkin, who appeared with Mr. Clarke for the Postmaster-General, explained that the pri soner, it had been found, had carried on a most extensive system of stealing letters containing Bank notes and other monies to a large extent, but in some instances it was recovered. Tho Recorder asked how long the system had been carried on ? Mr. Bodkin—From November last up to the 6th of June, when he was ar res t e d. The ecorder sentenced the prisoner to six years penal servitude. - Ann Stephens, aged 31, a married woman, was indicted for feloniou s ly u tt er i ng a forged Post office order for the sum of 103., well knowing the same to be forged. The prisoner, a respectable looking woman, pleaded not guilty. It appeared that a Post-office order for' 10s. was sent by a person named Sansom from Aldershot Camp, payable at the Camden-town office, to his wife, and directed for her at home, where the prisoner lived, who was aware that the letter was expected. She, on its being delivered, took possession of it ; an d went, accompanied with another woman, to the Pest-office with it unsigned ; and on its being represented by the clerk that it must be signed by Mrs. Sansom, the prisoner went away and soon after returned with it signed, when the clerk at the counter at the time paid the pri soner the money. Soon after Mrs. Sansom called with the letter, when it was discovered that her signature to the order was a forgery, and the pri soner was given into custody. The evidence was clear as to the prisoner's guilt —s'.e persisted in saying she hadonly accompanied another woman to the Post-office, and did not re coley° the money. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The Recorder said it was a very serious offence, and sentenced the prisoner to 12 months' imprison ment with hard laboir. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SUTTLE-SHARPING. A LUCKY ESCAPE.--William Webb, John Williams, George Smith, William Smith, Henry White, and Thomas Welsh, well known skittle sharpers, were charged with conspiring together to de fraud Thomas Shildrake, of 13, Charlotte-street, Pimlico, of the sum of 101. Ss. The prosecutor, who gave his evidence in a very con fused manner, said he had only returned from Australia a few weeks, and that on the previous afternoon he was going along the Strand, when he was accosted by Geo. Smith, who asked the way to Trafalgar-square, to which Place he directed him. They then got into conversation, the prisoner telling him he had just come from Oxford, and that he had not been in London since the Exhibi tion. Directly after, the prisoner Webb came up and spoke to Smith, and soon after made a bet with Smith that he would throw a 141 b. weight 30 yards. They then went to a public-house near Hyde-park, and asked him (prosecutor) to go with them. When they got there instead of throwing a weight they began playing at sktitles and betting, as he was induced by some of them to bet, and lost his money. When Webb began playing, he threw the ball over the mark, but altered his playing when bets were made. The rest of the prosecutor's evidence was so confused that . Mr. Bingham suggested to Mr. Lewis, senior, who appeared for the prisoners, that the money found on them, which they cannot deny was the prosecutor's, should be handed over to him. A constable hero stepped forward and said he had seen all the prisoners together previous, and knew them to be companions. One of them previous to joining the others changed his hat, and another one assumed spectacles. After some conversation between the prisoners and their advocate, and a hint from Mr. Bingham, that if they did not adopt his recom men d a ti on h e should remand them, the prisoners handed over the money and were discharge 1. THAMES. STEALING A CAGE AND A LARK.—George Brooks, A young man, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with feloniously stealing, taking, and carrying away one cage and one lark, value Bs., the property of Charles Hall, an oil and colourrnan, of No. 15, Lady Lake's grove, Jubilee-street, Stepney. Mr. Hall said he had a beautiful lark, which sang very melodiously, in a cage, which was suspended to a nail in front of his house, and a person to reach it must have got on the top of a shutter-box. Ile was aroused by a policeman at half-past 4 o'clock in the morning, and missed his bird and cage. He saw footmarks on the duet on the top of the shutter-box. The bird was worth 64. and the cage 2e. John Thompson, a police constable, No. 396 K, stated that he was on duty in Lady Lake's-grove, about 100 yards from the prosecutor's house, and saw the prisorer walking along with a lark in a cage. Directly the prisoner saw him he dropped the cage on the ground and ran away. He afterwards received the prisoner from another constable who stopped him as he was running along the Mile End Road. The prisoner said he was guilty. Mr. Yardley—There is no doubt of your guilt. You have done yourself no harm by that plea. I sentence you to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three calendar months. MARKET NEWS.— (Thiu Day.) HAY MARKETS.
