Yesterday afternoon Mr. Wakley, the coroner for the western division of Midal-sex, opened aa in quest at, the Marquis of Salisbury, Pembroke-t-treet, Islington, upon the hotly of George Osborne, whose melancholy death we have already' rep rted ; the inquiry being held closely adjacent to the house in which the lamentable occurrences took place, ex cited great interest amongst the inhabitantsLif the neighbourho , d.. The ju r y, i n v i ew i ng t h e b o dy, were accompanied by a large concourse of persons, who had assembled in the immediate vicinity Of the inquest room and in front of tho house, which was in charge of two police con,tables. Toe - first witness was Ann Smith, who stated that she was a lodger in the h 'use where the trao• b eily occurred, and had been sit for tee last n even or eieht months. waa a Married woman, the wife of Wm. Smith, a collector of goodsf .r wholesale houset e She had known the dec 'ased dut ing th tt time. H e was a gas wolker, and lived with hie wife. They had no children, but were bringing one up. She saw the deceased inflict the wound. It was on Sunday even ing, at about a coarter o 7 o'clock. He was with Isis wile in the back kitchen. Witness heard them quarrelling, and the deceased 'ssid to his wife, " No, yeti shan't, old girl," but witness d'd not know what it was about. She then went indoors, and had scarcely got into her room wh-n she'heard the screams and cries of Mrs. Osborne. Witnes ran down acrd saw the man cutting and choPpin, her about, the head. (The chopper was bete pro duced. It is a large hand ',Mittel, such as is used for ciloppi,,g up woo 1. It was about 12 inches long.) He cotitieued staking her as long as she stoo up, 'aid when she fell he continued striking her. Witness ran to the front door inti ca'led for l assistance, but none came. She returned to the kitchen, when he threw the choppur out of his hand and commenced cutting his throat with a large black-handled table-knife. He continued cutting for a few minutes when he fell on the floor, over, his wife, in a pool of blood. Mr. Richardson, the surgeon, soon atter arrived. His wife had nothing in her hand. During the time that witness had lodged in the house she never saw the deceased the worse for liquor but twice. She saw him twice on the Sunday. On Saturday evening she let him in about leilf-past aix ' and went and told his wife that he had come, when the latter replied that she was glad ef it. They had no quarrel that witness heard of, but in the morning the wife told witness that they had had a little quarrelling riming the night, and that he had taken a razor to cut her threat. She said that if he meant to do so. he might as well do so at first as last. He then told her that he was only jekieg, and wanted to frOiten her, when she said that she was not frightened at anything. He had complained of her conduct. There were other ledgers in the house—a widow named Jones, a widower named East, (the man who is . said to be the cause of the deceased's jea and a woman named Bromwich. Deceased had never threatens d to injure his wife, nor did he ever strike her Witn , ss had no positive proof that Mr•. Osborne gave him rea.s et to believe that her conduct was improper. From what witness knew, she had seen Eist and Mrs Osb 'rue go out very of en. It was East',, child that they were keeping, and it di-d la,t Friday. East and Mrs. Osborne used to take their meal together, and she had said that .he was fonder of him thin her own hus , ,and. On the night when the affair happened East had no gone out more than two mii , utes. aitiorne had told his wit' , that if she did not live with him no other man should hive her. He wag very little at home—on Saturdays coining at five o'cleck and going hack at ten, and scarcely at all on Sundays. He worked at the gas works, Bow, and his wife refused to live there. Mary East.. the sister of East, said that she lodged at 15, Pembroke-street, and her brother occupied a room on the second floor back. She was at home on Sunday evenin g last, and saw the comme.mce mtnt of the attacktipon Mrs. Osborne by her hu•- baud. Wanes.; was sitting in the ki'ellen, and hal been all day. He clamed himself, and said ht! was going to Somers-to , n. He had his breakfast, and went to Somers -town, returning at a quarter to four. He then had his dinner, but he was not sober ; his wife was in the kitchen at the time, bur be laid asleep on diet sofa. Af or dinner he laid down his head ou the 'ab:e and went to sleep ; he woke about half-past five. He asked his wife to get. the tea, and she replied she would get it scaan. He got up then, and went out of the house ; t here was no quarr:-.lling etwe n them a , thattime. He returned about. a qu ‘r er to six, and wen: to a cupboard, his wile bung in the kitchen, after which ho l oo came into the kite en. He said to btr, " Have you had your tea, Nance ?" and she sail " Yes, I have." He then said "That shall ba the la , t you shall ever have," and she said " The same to you." He had noling in his hand at the time ; he spoke vary angi ily. Witness said, " Pray, Smith (one of his aliases), don't talk like that," and he said "I'm if I don't do for her before I go back to Bow to-night." His wife made no remark. She was perfectly sober, but he was not quite sober. Witness never Faw him worse in liquor. She asked him why he went out before he had any tea ? and he said he could see that she did not want him to have any tea. She made no reply, and he left the kitchen. Witness was afraid that there was going to be a quarrel, and begged his wife to say nothing to hEw. The latter r,plied, "Oh, if ho is going do it, let him do it if he illus." Witness arose and met him at the kitchen door—he had the chopper in his hand. She said, " Oh, pray don't, Smith ;" and he took her up in his arms and threw her against the parlour door, saying, " You have nothing to do with it." ( he witness here swooned away, and had to be removed from the table, attended by a medical gentleman.) M. Richardson, surgeon, said he was called in about a quarter to 7 o'clock, and found the man quite de d. He had ex ainioed the body of tie de ceased, and found a wound about six inches in length, which included the carotid artery, and was quite sufliciect to cause des h. Mary Oswald, the wife of John Oswald, a black smith, residing near LJieliton Buzzard—The de c-ased was her son. When he was a little bey he had the brain fever, and had never been since what he was before. When he was grown up he had the fever again, which affected his head very bat He was in hospi al for it some weeks. He was suddenly taken, when at work at Farringdou, in ;he coup ry, as if not right in his mind, and was moved to the infirmary. He complained of noises in the head. Site never saw hitn iutoxivat,d. He had been mar tied nine years. He bad never been confined in a lunatic a'.ylum f. 'r the complaint. The wane East, having recovered from the swoon, c intinhed her evidence—Site said when Osborne threw her against the parlour do .r she fell on the floor. On getting up he held the billbo; k over lair saying, " 'Tis wthi ng to you." He tli n took hid of his wife by ihe hair t.f the ' bead and stru kh r with the chopp,r. Witness then rail out of the front, door to call assis ance, and did not see him cut his throat. Toere was no thing whatever that happened either on Saturday night or Sunday to provoke biro. Witness was with them up to 11. o'clock on Saturday. They had some quarrelling. He cud he 11 , ..d heard ag+ eat deal ab .ut b.r. He did tot threaten her ; he told her that she had been "great." witit Ea t, and she owned that she had. He 'hen asked for a reason why she wa to I to have East instead of hi iiself. Her answer was, " B cause she like d him better." She exa , perated him vi ry much, ;:nd said that as soon as the child was buried she would go and live wit h East altegetber. (This was East's child, that had died ou the previous Friday). He did not threaten her in witness's presence, but he threatexed her on the Saturday night. The Coroner here stopped the case, and said there really was no use in pushing the matter further, as they were not trying a question of adultery, but whether the man was labouring under a delusion respecting his wife's immorality, and it appeared be was labouring under no delusion at all, for the wife confessed it. His mother had shown that he was affec ed in his head from early childhood, and was jut such a man as an affair of kind would be likely to drive insane. It was his opinion that the poir fell...whad become irresponsible for his actions, on account of the rumours he had heard about tie v g his w ife, and her open dectiration to him t utn h i a l, t i, she her guilt to is in tended as soon as she could to leave him and go with East; st;i he woman, in an a eby lmanner,enad acknowledged n o doubt at all a b out t h e matter. Mary East had given her evidence very fairly, consider ing the parties involved ; and it appeared to him one of the clearest cases he ever knew. Tae jury immed:ately returned a verdict that the decealad laid destroyed himself while in an unsound state of mind, and the proceedings terminated.

It is at all times difficult, for the repirters in the House of Commons to he tr distinctly meuibers who address the house, unless, indeed, they speak from below the " gangway," when, from their position, they :ire obliged to direct their vooss towards the gallery where the rei.o , ters sit. This difficulty of heat jug arises from ih- shape of the house (the re mark is equally applicable to the Lords' Cham ber), for even here—in the very kernel as i. were of this enormous pile of costly building—utility has been sacrificed to sh,)w. Instead of a square chamber with circular or hexagonal benche , , as in the old House of Commons, we have a long room with benches ranged on each side from end to end. The consequence is, that members occupying seats above the gangway, and particularly those on the Treasury and front Opposition b-noties, are always endeavouring to effect two objects which are irre conciteable—nam •ly, to have their speeo.es heard in the house and read out of doors. A !Lemb -r begins by addressing a few sentences to Vie coun try, through the reporters, when, recollecting that he is supposed to be speaking to the gen , lemen who are impatiently crying " Speak up " :Anil " We can't hear you," he turns his back on the country and bestows some sentences on the house, which are either not heard at all or heard very imperfectly by the reporters. Symptoms ate not waiting that members will not much longer suba to the present unsalisfautory state of things, and we do. not despair of finding that, eventually, this common view of the matter will be taken— that in a place where the business is speaking, there should exist the p , ssibility of hearin;. Why not alter the shape of the house? Thts may impair the harmony of the whole plan of the palice ; but anything is be ter tint' having a building which is unsuitable for its purpose. But, in the first in-tance, why should not apt a , tempt he made to effect a different arrangement of the benches If neither of these things be done it seems not improbable that the house will be driven to the greater inconvenience of having a tribune erected somewhere below the gangway. In the meaLtime, it is desirable that the difficulties with which the reporters have to contend should not be increased by t h e low tone adopted by some of the new occupants of the Treasury bench, par ticularly in answering questions addressed to them in the early part of the evening. We are sure it is necessary only to allude to the defect to produce a remedy.—Times. A shameful act of vandalism ag a few days back p e rpetrated in the Museum of Dr , -sden. A fine picture of our "Saviour on the Cross," by Guido, was found with the head cut away from from the body, and a " Cupid," by Correggio, di , gracefully (ADTERTISEMIENT.I—H, Itoway' Pills unequalled for tl)e Cure of Dropsy.—Toe hingu lar ffi oaoy of Holloware Pills in the numerous cures effected by their use in some of the most obstinate cases of dropsy are very extraor ,iinary, they Act with rush certain and peculiar effects upon the sy -tent that the fluids arising from this direful disea-e are impeiceptibly carried cff and entirely . pre vented from any further accumulation ; (he distress!ng symptoms which accompany this complaint being thus di,p,rsed, the suff-rer regain! buoyancy rf spirits, and a o ,int.letely renovated constitution.

Seven of these havet.sone 4 e n in tl4e North Atlantic, three in.the GatlEof Mexico, three in the China and Indian seas, of Vin "the-Bay• of Biscay, and three on the Portuguese anaill,enish cemt. The'value of the seven packets lost in the North Atlantic, withtheir cargoes, is estimated at two millions sterling. Since 1853, 2,000 persona have perished, and 10,000,000 dollars' worth of .property has been destroyed, in the wreck of United States coisting mail packets. Out of the twenty ocean mail packets lost during the last dozen years, ree, wilt all their crews and passengers, were lost, and their fate never heard of. One, however was burnt while going at full speed, and a great wally on board perished in the flames. Another was run down in the Chinese sea by a packet going in the same direetion, the lights of the fornasr hay, ing been seen from the latter when miles a-head: Tne most dreadful of all these shipwreCks, perhaps, were the foundering in the Atlantic Ocean of the President, the Pacific, and the City of Glasgow, from which not a soul survived to tell the tale. Months elapsed before all hope was eltinguished in the breasts of relatives that some, at least, •.f tee pa s sengers and crew might somewhere turn up alive. A most harrowing story, too, is teat the burning of the Amazon, and also that of the striking of the Tweed on the Alacranes. The ' e ,, gineer of the Amazon could not turn off - the steaw, and the ship went bounding and blazing Hong on tl.e ocean, while those who escaped were 'tunrsed with the nose of the paddlewheels and the waves, together with the roaring of the wind ind flames, and the shrieks of 'he dying on board. In the else of th 4 Tweed, scores of persons were - devoured by sharks as they jumped from the sink ng s'iio. Last year a mail packet was wrecked' in - • - the Incite!, Sea, and an offieer and troops were on 11,a , d her corning from the Persian war. As soon s th,-37 escaped from the wreck and ;rum *Wed, the officer and col tiers fell down on their knees, ind the f , _:rm,r reverently gave thanks to Heaven .:or their pr.-&-.rvation. A few months afterwarde be • gained au immortal name in avenging the atroci tes of ariwnpore and relieving Lucknow. it is unnecessary t,.) say that this was Henry Havelock. We have j.ist beard of the wreck of the" mail packet Ava in the Bay of Bengal, having on board he la lies and children who had escaped a fright ful death in Lucknow, and whose sufferings and aan g ., it appears, were not to cease even after - ,hey left India, and were under British protection on the sea. Power, the eminent English cmedian as wal as a rneniber of one of ducal families, perished in the President. Eliot Warburton, the author of " The Crescent and the Cross," whose graphic pen was ab - art to be tipped in he gorgeous hues of Central American scenery, was lost in the Amsz-n. A rich passenger on board the Arctic offered 30,0001. to whoever could save his life, and there is no doubt that any one who could have done so would haVe received the reward, but no one was able to earn it. A passenger on board the Brazil mail packet, which went ashore at St. Alban's Head, last year, offered 500/. to a coastguard-man if he took him safely ashore, which was done, and the man received a cheque for the amount. The sufferings of some of the survivor s of the lost mail packets have been terrible. It is feared that one or two of the survi vors of a mail steamer, which was wrecked a short thee since, were saved from starvation only by re course to cannibalism. The mail packet Tay went ashor- many years ago in the West Indies, and the captain and crew abandon -d her; an engineer, errs ever, stuck to her arid saved tar, to be wrecked afterwards in the Gulf of Mex'co. Furseven years he Peni,sular and Oriental Company never lost el si ip ; they then 1 st seven ships in 12 years, and during the last of those years they have list three ships. The Royer]. Mill Company t egan their career by losing slurs ' but latterly they have had better luck. How the Pacific, the President, and the City of Glasgow went to the bottom is a ye stion no one: can answer. They may have struck against icebergs, those marine glaciers which glide down from the Pole towards the Equat o r, and from their immense size are as dangerous to come in contact with as grani . e rocks, whilst they cannot be laid down in cherts, and are often enveloped in fogs an d p e er s , so that t 1 e only intimation a commander has of their whereabouts is from their causing a lowering of the temper :ture in the neighbourhood in which they are. Some have believed that the Pacific, the President, and the City of Glasgow broke their backs and then foundered. When a iong ship is resting its centre on the edge of an enor up.us Atlantic wave her stem and stern are entirely unsupported, and heavily laden fore and aft, the leverage there is immense, and the vessel may break in two just at the fulcrum. Again, a long ship may have t.er stem and stern supported by the edges of gigantic waves and the centre may be unsup ported ; the weight of machinery and coal there is enormous, and t e ship mey break in two midway between the two fulcrums aud be doubled up. Ships are now bed r_iii sui h a m,nner as to avoid all these disastk The Peninsular and (Mental Company's new ms.l i acket N. m sis is of enormous strength, so I feet it eoe:d be difficul to knock her to pieces. Iron mail packets are now in use 13:-caute they are less likely to break up after striking than wooden ones. The mail packet Tyne, which struck on a rocky coast last year, was got off after being knocked about there a couple of months, and no lives were lost in her. Every one remembers the iron steamer Sarah Sands, troop vessel, which took fire in the Inoian Ocean a few months since. By the most masterly skill she was kept under control whole she was gutted ty the flames, which could not ba get under, and then the troops got on board of her again, and were saved in the bare hull. Ships are now built with strength propor tioned to their length. Ti'e distribution of the load of a ship is better understood, so that founder ing through a broken back will be less likely to bittppi.u, and probably before long mail packets will carry an electric light at the mast head, so that the dangers of collisions in the dark and in fogs will cease. The loss of a mail packtt with a number of lives must be very trying to the feelings of a com .mander ; but the captains of our lost mail packets often displayed a noble presence of mind and heroism, which have been the means of saving many. Many captains have perished in attempting to ea' e their crews and passengers. In the Am eon all bet one f the officers were burnt on board. The inferior officers refused to leave their captain. They assisted to save others, but they preferred being burnt in their ship, because every one on board could not leave her, One or two commanders of the lost packets have committed suicide after the excitement of the wreck was over. The commander of the Tweed lived half a mile from Southampton, the port from which his ship hailed, but he never was seen in that town after , -- -- -- —.— the wreck, although he lived in its vicinity for years. The commander of the lost packet Arctic has displayed great heroism, and when he reached New York the merchants and shippers went to the railway station to welcome and sympathise with him. Bat he was unable to receive their greeting, and he passed sorrowing with downcast looks through a lane formed of the chief commercial citizens of New York, who stood mute and un covered to receive him. When the American steamer Atlantic was supposed to be lost. a British packet was the first to carry the news of her safety to America. She kept fir.ng guns miles before she arrived in harbour, and had every flag on board I,ois'esl. Tons of thousands of New York people turned out to learn the news she brought, and when the hears . v, ice of the captain sounded through a trumpet, "The Atlantic is safe," the whole city . was 'brown into an ecsracy, and one poor woman who had a bother on board the rai , sing ship went mad wi, h j.iy. Half the packets that have gone io th , boitom have been wrecked in consequence of toe dal ing:y si)aving the land and cutting off co de. s. Som- tit ei oub , t dly have 13-... en lost by in competent commanders who had , btained their sp• point ,euts Through nt'erest rather than from merit. Canards company have beau the most fortunate of all Vie mail packet companies as far as the loss of . ships is concerned. The Peninsular and Oriental and the Royal Mail Companies have each lost about the same number of ships. It is curious that almost every courmandtr of a lost mail packet has been steam-packet rigidlyeOl blamed by landsmen f or not usin g the lead, and yet every sailor decla res that it is almost im p ossibl e for a commande r o f a mail p acket, com pelled to a travel night and day at a rac i n g speed, to use the lead miznoeiretliaoinds.doTltiisiniter ought n all t qu:red into by the government. During the last twelveyears six panics'in the or seven millions' worth has been dew. royed end h duu i eds of lives have been 104 . in m misery these losses have ail packets. The caused is incalculable. 1 But is dawning. Ships a new era dawning. Ship like the Leviathan cannot be trifled with, an , i if she is i...ucessful . .he present mail packets will soon be superseded, and life and property on board Leviathan ;learners carrying mails will be far Hafer than they have hitherto been. —Daily New CT iOBD AND CAMMUDGE AT RAti. ..—Tbe treireTS struggle tor the champior-bip l o si f l :13 1 1 the m i e: W itr e :in " London hich i to come cif on Sator lay next, is exciting great interest.
