REVIVAL OF CAMBERWELL FAIR. --Yesterday morning, at a very early hour, the inhabitants of that part of the Camberwell New-road near the Lambeth County Court were aroused by hearing loud and continuous ham mering, mingled with shouting and other sounds, so unusual to the respectable inhabitants of this locality. It was then s , discovered that during the previous night and yesterday morning a fair of very large dimensions had been established si in an extensive field at the rear of Camberwell Chapel, and s abutting on the Brunswick-road, and thereon had been established upwards of 200 booths, including a lar g e eques trian tent, a theatre an exhibition of mov in g models, re- I.' freshment booths, rifle galleries, &c. It would appear that at , on Sunday evening two or three caravans were noticed 4, proceeding towards the field ; but not the sligh test idea was st entertained that a fair, and one of the largest that has ever st been established on the Surrey side of the water, was about st to be held. As soon as that became known, large bodies of poi i e a were laidplaced on duty, and several of the inhabitants complaint t,r for the removal of the booths, &c., but s they were informed that extremely y parties seven days' coul d notie. not be done without giving the and, of course, by that time the f a ir would be over and e thewhole of the ground cleared, So that they will be obliged p ut up with it for three d a ys, although the extreme en d o f feet of the dwarf garden walls. Notwithstanding within a w u lt e ht i tmadingthe somewhat doubtful state of the weather gongs, r s wa d s duly opened with the usual accompaniment of brass bands, and other deafening noises. Befor'e twelvevely hundreds of the lovers of such sights wendi ng o'clock the r oadway leading to the ground wore a very lively a their way thereto, and seeming to_ fancy that a triumph had been gaine d b y the revival of Camberwell Fair, which it was thought was for ever extinct. ANOTHER CHILD MURDER AT FRoME.--About nine o'clock on Sun da y morning a boy was walking alon g the road skirting the banks of the river Frorne, at a place called Welshmill, close to the most populous part which so fof the town, when he saw a something in the water ar resembled a human form as to induce him to cal atel assistance. The coachman of Dr. Harrison, a magistr residing near, came to his aid, and dre w from the water the corpse of a full-grown male child. The child was q uite dead, but as had evidently been so only a short t ime, blood was slowly oozing from its nose. Its hands were crossed over the face. It had no clothing on whatever, but around the neck was a part of a stn lace, with which it had evidently been strangled. The body was promptly conveyed to a neigh bouring public-house, and medical aid was summoned by the police. Dr. White attended, and after an examination pronounced the corpse to be that of a fully matured child, who had evidently lived some hours after birth. That the destruction of the child was accomplished by its mother seems probable from the fact that some of the customary duties of a midwife had not been attended to. The police are using every exertion to discover the parentage of the deceased. The affair has made considerable stir in the neighbourhood, more especially as the circumstances of another suspicious death is under investigation. ROYAL ALHAMBRA PALACE.—A new feature has been added to the attractions of this favourite place of amuse ment in the shape of a domesticat ed and educated hippopota mus. Mr. E. T. Smith, the enterp risin g manager, has, at a large expense, procured this wonderful specimen of the am phibious world. The animal is not yet two years and a half old, and stands about three feet high. The keeper has it entirely under control, and can make it do whatever he pleases. It follows him about like a dog, and lays down and fondles with him in the most docile manner. During the exhibition the keeper opened its mouth , and put his head completely within itsbuge jaws, after which he took it round and made it open its mouth several times to show the audience the interior. After making the creature go through various performances, which showed its tractability, he mounted its back and rode off in triumph, amidst general applause, 50 iN a tional Bank 20 New l South Wales.— all 20 Do. new 25 Orient.

The meetings appointed for the ensuing week are Yoll and Plymouth, which lie so far apart that their clashli ig -is not likely to exercise any prejudicial influence on ei ther, though it would have been as well had the latter been fixed to take place on Monday and Tuesday instead of . the two following days. Mr. Johnson's bill of fare is of mo aster calibre, extending to no fewer than 32 races, a number . quite impossible to get through with any kind of satisfaction i n the three days to which the meeting is now limited. There are 12 rates on the list for to-morrow, 9 of which. are already closed, leaving only the Zetland Stakes, her Majesty's Plate, and a Selling Stakes to close this evening. The principal of the closed items is the Couvillal Stakes, for which there are 76 two-year-olds notrAineted, no fewer than 31 of which have been in public, producing only the following winners :—Folkstone, Rouge Dragon, Vergiss mein-nicht, Little Drummer, Samba, and Prudence, each of which have incurred a 21b penalty. The dark division includes many high-bred and good-'looking horses—Klari koff, by De Clare out of Wiasma, the dam of many winners ; Bonnyfield, a half-brother of 04. e famed Blink Bonny, by "The West;" Lady Louisa, half-sister to Cavendish, by The Flying Dutchman ; Carbinner, by Rifleman out of Comfit, and many others there is no occasion to enumerate. Of the public horses I have the most fancy for Yergiss mein-nicht and Rouge Dragon. For the Juvenile Stakes Cantatrice, the daughter of Bird catcher and Catherine Hayes (bred in France), who has no fewer than 49 engagements attached to her name in the Calendar, will make her debut, and I have no doubt will not disgrace her parentage ; though, as we have seen The Gardener run forward on two or three occasions, I must give him a slight preference over the filly. The forty-seven nominations to the Yorkshire Oaks may bring to the post Watersprite, filly by Autocrat out of Elect's dam, Moorhen, Seclusion, Stockade, Cecilia, V es t a , Bird _ . [cage, Contadina, Aurora, and Nightingale. All of the above have been repeatedly in public, except the latter, a daughter of West Australian and Songstress ; but I expect to see Stockade or Moorhen the winner. The Wizard being struck out of the North of England Biennial leaves the race pretty open, notwithstanding which I cannot see anything beyond the following seven likely to take part in the struggle :—Northern Light, Sir William, Grenadier, Wildman, The Prophet, Upperhand, and Vanquisher. The former, for his success in the Am port Stakes, will have to carry a 31b penalty, consequently he will meet Sir William on the same terms as at Liver pool, when a head only separated the pair. On this occa sion, however, 1 hardly think the contest between them will be so close, the gallant grey having showed at Good wood in such greatly improved form ; but there are a couple of others engaged from which much more danger is to be apprehended—Vanquisher and The Prophet—the former of which I must select in preference to Mr. Merry's horse, as in the race for the Gimcrack last year he ran against Thormanby and Sweetsauce so thoroughly game, that I should rather depend on him than on the grey over so heavy a course as the Knavesmire is certain to be after the recent rains ; and it would not surprise me to see The Pro phet, who takes a 51b allowance, secure second honours, with the emoluments attached to the " situation." For the Chesterfield Handicap Amsterdam, Tyrant, and Grenadier appear to me to have the best chance, and I fancy them in the order named. Tke Branham Park Stakes must fall to Stockade, the Three Year Old Produce to Sabreur, and the Burgundy Stakes to Ariadne, who will only have to walk ever to re imburse her present owner with a fourth of the price which he recently gave for her on the break up of Sir R. Peel's stud. The contest for the Black Duck Stakes of 1,000 sous each, 300 ft, to which there are four nominations, is likely to end in a match between Radiance and either Cantatrice or Lord Glasgow's colt by Stockwell, dam by Pyrrhus the First, the two latter of which will have previously tried conclusions in the Juvenile Stakes on the first day, the race for which will virtually decide this heavy engagement. The Zetland Stakes, the Queen's Guineas, and an All aged Selling Stakes will comple a card never surpassed at York, and seldom elsewhere. On Thursday, although the card does not contain so many items as that of Wednesday, it is sufficiently heavy to en sure an excellent day's racing. Tn the Prince of Wales Stakes, Dundee is nominated as well as Dictator and Klarikoff; consequently, should the three meet, the race will be the most interesting of the day. I, however, doubt that either of the latter will face the "crack," though they may as well, for until he is overcome "by hook or by crook," little opportunity will be afforded of hedging the investments made on them by their respec tive oa aers for the Derby. The Eglinton Stakes, one mile, for two end three year olds, has 12 of the latter engaged op.:net 23juveniles, those of note amongst the latter being Dundee, Imaus, Lady Clifden, and Brown Duchess; whilst the best of the th-ee year olds engaged, taking the weights they have to carry into consideration, are Sweetsauce, Stampedo, and Mag giore, all of which, with the exception of Brown Duchess, it would not surprise me to see contest this valuable prize. The field will doubtless comprise many more, but supposing the above to meet the respective weights they will have to carry w: stand thus : age at lb age at lb Sweetsauce Stamped() . . 3 8 4 Imaus . . 2 6 11 Maggiore It will be thus seen that Dundee will have to run a mile at 281 b with Sweetsauce, and with Stampedo at 161 b (the exact weight at which Brown Duchess had the best of him, when very unfit, for the Stamford Plate at Newmarket), whilst he will have to do Maggiore over at 141 b, a feat I doubt his ability to accomplish. I shall, consequently, ex pect to see him bowled over by one of the trio ; and as Stampede must now be much fitter than he was in the July week, to him I give the preference. The Fov-th Biennial for two -yr-olds, with its 49 floral • nations, ought to furnish a considerable field at the starting post, the only formidable name among the entries being Dictator, now that Big Ben has for a time taken leave of the Turf. Lord Fitzwilliam has several good-looking horses engaged, and both Matador and Kettledrum are highly thought of. Virgilius, whose name has recently found its way into some of the Derby books, is also engaged, and Mr. Merry w ill be represented by the Lady of the Lake, a good-looking daughter of the Lord of the Isles out of Rogerthorpe's dam, who will take some beating. Whether all of the above will run, or what may comprise the field besides, I have not the means of knowing; but as Dictator is a certain starter he must be my selection, notwith standing the 31b penalty he will have to carry for winning the July, though I expect both Matador and Virgilius, both of whom have been highly tried, will prove very formidable opponents. The Hopeful I must award to Cape Flyaway, and the Filly Sapling to Sir C. Moncles Prudence. The Great Ebor Handicap has cut down into rather limited dimensions, considering the extent of the entry, which comprised no fewer than sixty-five nominations, only twenty-three of which have accepted. At first sight some want of judgment might be imputed to the handicapper, but on carefully looking through the weights a reason might readily be found for the non-acceptance of nearly every horse which has declared out, Adam Bede and Volatile alone excepted, both of whom had so little to complain of in the weights apportioned to them that they were by many thought to be the best " in," particularly the filly. Underhand heads the list with 9st, but, as we saw him at Stockbridge unable to claim the judge's atten tion over the heavy course there, he can have no chance on the Knavesmire, which will this year be in a far different state to last, when he gave such " lumps" of weight away to all the three year olds engaged. Whitewall accepted with four—Gamester, Cape Flyaway, Pax, and The Pedlar —of which Lord Glasgow's horse, in the opinion of the public, had so much the best of the weights that he was backed for some money on the appearance of the accept ances; but he has since gone out of the market, and with him all hope of the race going to Malton, for I doubt the Pedlar's ability to stay the course, in which opinion I em strengthened from his being engaged in the Cambridgeshire in preference to the Celarewitch. Defender has little to complain of with such an impost as Bst 51b, though even after his success at Egham I have no great opinion of his staying qualities; but as most of those engaged have quite as little heart, I can select nothing among the old horses to beat him, unless Hepatica and Artless run up to their old form, or Julia should take it into her head to try as well as she does at home. Satellite, although he possesses good speed, must be beaten by Defender. Gladiolus is not over weighted, but the market is too suspicious to ensure my re commendation this time of asking. Moorhen has been highly tried with Wildman and Moorcock, and the result was of such a satisfactory nature that I expect she will prove the absolute winner. Horace ha; a tremendous turn of speed, which will cause him to run forward, despite his presumed non-staying qualities. Springwell is a nice, lengthy style of colt, and has a respectable outside chance. To sum up I expect to see the Ebor Handicap carried off by Osborne's representative— MOORHEN or SUTTON, followed by Hepatica and Springwell. For the Northern St. Leger The Wizard will make one of the field, and unless opposed by Northern Light, there is none other engaged likely to prevent the stakes being credited to Mr. Nichol's account. The remaining events for Thursday are the Londes borough Cup and the Lottery Plate, both of which close the evening preceding. For Friday, the last day, there are no fewer than eleven events set for decision, including the Great Yorkshire Stakes, the County Cup, and Gimcrack Stakes, which, with the Knavesmiro and Colt Sapling, make up a day's sport almost equal to the first. The Great Yorkshire Stakes, although it has one hundred and four nominations, will scarcely muster more than half a dozen at the starting post, to be selected from The Wizard, Cape Flyaway, Tom Bowline, Sir William, Sutton, Syringe, Northern Light, The Prophet, Predictor, Upper hand, Sabreur, and Vanquisher. The meeting of The Wizard and Wallace would have created great excitement, but the latter's absence is almost certain, as in addition to the recent stoppage of his work, from having bee n "pricked," a more effectual " stopper " is likely to be placed upon his running by the refusal of his former owner and nominator to consent to his starting.

IN RE ALFRED PENNY. This bankrupt was described as of Lloyds' Coffee-house, &c., underwriter, engineer, and coal merchant, and to• day was appointed for his last examination.

IN RE MILNER. This bankrupt was described as of Pierrepont-place, Islington, and to-day was appointed for his last examination. This was another of the numerous failures resulting from those more serious ones and creating a panic in the leather trade. The debts in this case are stated by Messrs. Paul and Turner at £1,470 ; assets, good debts, £ll6 ; cash, £25 ; doubtful debts, £BO ; property, £800; liabilities, £2,781, which appear to be principally on bills transactions with Hooper and Parkinson, the extensive leather-factors, who failed, and whose case has been previously noticed. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr and a Jury.) HOTSON V. BROWNE-NEWSPAPER AND PERIODICAL PROPRIETORS - IMPORTANT DECISION. This was an action to recover £42 for advertisements in serted in Hotson's "Local Railway Time Tables." Mr. Joyce appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Laxton, instructed by Mr. Cooke, for the defendant, the well known patent agent of King William-street. It appeared on the part of the plaintiff that he has seven local railway time tables (one for each of the seven great railways), issued monthly, and a person called " Dr. Miller," who acts as a general advertisement collector, brought him an order from defendant for " two squares" in the periodical, the sum to be 10s. for each monthly book. Mr. Joyce said that these words were plain and explicit, and surely each " monthly book" meant the seven. Defendant found that he was charged £3 10s. for one month, and had given plaintiff notice not to insert any more, but his honour would tell defendant that his notice would not annul the contract. Mr. Hotson said that Miller was not his agent. He was a general agent, and collected for other periodicals than plaintiff's. Plaintiff paid him commission, varying with the value of the orders. Plaintiff had refused some of Miller's orders. Mr. Laxton cross-examined plaintiff with a view to showing that Miller was his agent, and that he was reopen sible for any representations Miller might have made. His Honour was of opinion that Mr. Hetson could not be made responsible for the representations of a casual adver tisement collector. It would be a very nice thing, for in stance, if newspaper proprietors were made responsible for all the promises made by the persons who supply them with collected advertisements. Mr. Laxton called defendant, who was not allowed to state what passed between himself and Miller. Mr. Joyce objected, and his Honour ruled that agency had not been shown. Mr. Laxton then contended that the words "in each monthly book" meant the whole series. There were seven editions of one work, and defendant never thought he was to be charged for each edition. Mr. Joyce said the order was clear and explicit. His Honour then ruled to the jury that when an order is given to insert advertisements for one year, an order to discontinue would be of no avail in answer to the claim; and, secondly, that " each monthly book" meant " each," and so plaintiff must have a verdict. Mr. Laxton said his client would appeal. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—(This Day.) (Before Mr. Payne.) James Donovan was found guilty of stealing a silver watch from the waistcoat pocket of Mr. George Wilson, superintendent of the ragged school, Westminster, at the Eastern Counties Railway station, on the 6th of August last, and was sentenced to four years' penal servitude. William Elliot was indicted for attempting to break into the house of Mr. Robert Godolph Long, surgeon, No. 14, Clement-street, Strand, on the 9th of August last. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment in the House of Correction, with hard labour. John Readburr was charged with breaking into the house of Mr. William Hockin, Devonshire-terrace,Victoria park. road, and stealing several articles of plate, his goods and chattels, on sth July last. The jury found the pris oner g uilt y. He had been pre viously convicted under the name of Daniel Davis, and was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. Mr. Fulham said the prisoner had been in prison ten times since 1841. Mr. Payne sentenced th e p risoner to Six years' penal ser vitade. S ara h Davis and Mary Ann Bergen were charged with stealing a purse containing £1 6s. from Mrs. Ann Mat thews, wife of Mr. Richard Matthews, carpenter, Earl's court-terrace, Kensington, in July l ast. Mrs. Matthews said that on leaving her house she met the prisoners, who asked her the way to Bayswater and Holland-lane, and she directed them to it, and on leaving her she missed her purse. The jury found Sarah Davis gtult y _ and Mary Aim Berger not guilty. The prisoners we re further ch arged with picking the pocket of Mrs. Sarah Je pp s, 3 , Graft on - p l ace, Euston square, of her purse. Th e y ask ed the way to Primrose hill, and when they went away sh e f ound she had lost h er purse, and gave them into custody of a constable. The jury found the p risoners guilty, y and they were SOW ira P ri a o llllle/lt in the House of tented to eighteen mon ths ' Correction, with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGEAOE_ (THIS DAY ST IsIARLBOROUGIL. REET. STREET PREACHING. —Ed ward Kipp, of 40, Munster square, Regent's-Park, was ch arged before Mr. Beadon n w ith obstructing the footway ; - Tottenham-court-road by preaching and causing a crowd to assemble, and refusing to go when requested. Sergeant Clifford, 9 E, seeing the defendant preaching, with a large crowd of persons round him, and as he was causing a great obstruction, an d complaints had been made by the inhabitants of pickpockets assembling in conse quence of persons singing and Preachi ng, h e reques ted him to more. He refused to do so) and finding the footway greatly impeded, he took the defendant into custody. Mr. Beadon asked the defendant why he went into a crowded thoroughfare like the To ttenham-court-road where he must necessarily cause a crowd and confusion. He was not likely by that means to do any good, and it was quite ne cessary the place should be kept cl ear. Defendant said the part of the road where he was preach ing was already blocked up, and persons were singing just below, but were not removed. - Mr. Beadon,',in discharging the defendant, recommended h!m to use a little discretion, and to go to a place where he would cause no obstruction, and then he might do good. It may be stated that it wail only on the loud complaints of the inhabitants the police interfered. THAI m 8 . THE MOTHER AND DA.Dou,..._ . —bTRANGE CASE, woman, was brought before Mr Diary Yardley,l\iuchargedyon g with stealing perty of Margaret Horogan. with an aPPearanoe ot contfort rather unusual with and well dressed Irish The prosecutrix, an ind t l at rion,s woman, persons of her class, said she got a little bit of bread by selling fruit and vegetables in the street, and lived in Finnley-street, near Rural-court, Mile End, and that her husband worked for the parish. She then commenced the biograghy of her family, and on the magistrate requesting her to desist, she said that she left the prisoner in charge of her stall in the Mile End-r oad, while she went to market. On her return, the prisoner vas gone, and the stall was " left to mind itself." On going home she missed the best gown she had, and traced it to a Pawnbroker's shop, where the prisoner had pawned it for ss. George Kay, a police-constable, 108 K, said that he found the prisoner in Globe-fields, Mile-end-road, in a most helpless state, and quite intoxicated. The gown was produced by a Pawnbroker, and identified. Mrs. Horogan—That is my new dress, your honnees wortchip, and didn't I work hard for it. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and said she took the gown out of the house and pawned it for 58, and did not know what became of it. Mr. Yardley—Pawned it for drink ! What a shocking thing this is ; the prevalence of drunk e nness among women in this district is really frightful. A young man named John Burke here addressed the magistrate. She is my sister, y our worship, and this is my mother. r. Mr. Yardley—Then the old - "lan and tha prisoner in the dock are mother and daughter ? Burke—That's it, sir. lam sure my sister is subject to fits. Mr. Yardley—Of drunkenness, I fear. Burke—No, sir. She has heavy falls on the stones, and o ften goes into fits. She is only fit for an asylum or a workhouse. Mr. Yardley—The mother and daughter gyre different names. How is that ? Burke—My mother has married a second husband. Mrs. Horogan—l only want my bran new gown, yer honner's wortchip. Don't punish her, poor girl. Mr. Yardley—Yes, you want to get the dross back for nothing. I shall not order the pawnbroker to restore it h, without you pay for it. The prisoner is sentenced to eight days' imprisonment and hard labour. select auy other than The Wizard as the winner ;. and it will be seen from previous comments that I hold Van quisher to be the "next best" throe year old likely to run at York, The distance being a mile and three-quarters will be virtually he Wizard's trial, the St Leger " length," consequent y great interest will attach to the performance, as ind , cative of his real Doncaster pretensions. The result of the Gimcrack Stakes will in some measure depend on previous running ; but as Dundee and Klarikoff are both engaged it must fall to either. The Aske Produce must go to Folkestone or to one of Sir R. Bulkeley's Stockwell fillies, and Northern Lighthas little to fear from any opponent in the Knavosmiro Stakes. The County Cup secured an excellent entry of seventeen, but the field will, notwithstanding, be limited. Thormanby will not run, though it was bruited about during the last week that he was certain to go to York. In his absence the contest is likely to be between Underhand, Satellite, Sir William, and Bivouac, and I prefer the chance of the latter. In the Colt Sapling I find the name of Parasite, but in company I doubt that will be an over-match for him, not withstanding his recent successes at Oxford, as Kettledrum and Royalist are both engaged, and, unless the former makes a greater noise, he must settle his pretensions, though both may be overthrown by The Royalist. The remaining events are the Nursery Handicap and Queen's Plate for mares, both of which close at the same time as the Zetland Stakes (Tuesday afternoon) ; and the Tyro Stakes, Consolation Scramble, and Member& Plata, all of which close the evening preceding.

The SPEARPR entered the house at 12 o'clock, and prayers having been read there were six members present, all of these occupants of the Ministerial bench. Members gradually came in until half-past 1 . 2, when a house was made. IRISH EDUCATION. Mr. MONSELL gave notice that on Thursday he should ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland the names of those commissioners who authorised the omission from Mr. liina han's report of the children who attended Roman Catholic schools. COLONIAL. TE.►.--The public sales have just terminated, and prices generally have shown a downward movement for the in ferior descriptions. The finer sorts have fully maintained former rates. _ SUGAR.—The market is very quiet; prices, however, are fairly maintained. In the refined market there has been a more active demand for home consumption, the grocers having operated to a large extent. COFFEE.—The transactions have not been extensive, as several large parcels of Plantation Ceylon are announced for public sale during the week. No change can be re corded in values. Rim—The market continues firm, and there has been a good demand for East India qualities, at fully late rates. FRUlT.—There.has been very little business transacted, but advices have been received of the nailing of three steamers from the Islands with cargoes of the new crop of currants. SALTPETRE.—The transactions have been limited to immediate requirements, and in some instances lower rates have been accepted by holders. TALLOW.—A very moderate business has taken place. Prices, however, have shown more firmness. P.Y.C., on the spot, 51s 3d ; last three months, 51s 6d to 51s 9d. COAL MAR Wrists of Coal per Ton al s. d. :ET-Au G. 20. the close of the market.)

Aug. 28, SMORING.—The pupils of the Polytechnic School in Paris have recently furnished some curious statistics bearing on tobacco. Dividing the young gentlemen of that college into groups, the smokers and the non-smokers, it is shown that the smokers have proved themselves in the various competitive examinations far inferior to the others. Not only in the examinations on entering the school are the smokers in a lower rank, but in the various ordeals they have to pass through in a year, the average rank of the smokers had constantly fallen, and not inconsiderably, while the men who did not smoke enjoyed a cerebral atmo sphere of the clearest kind. HORRIBLE MURDERS.—A dreadful ease was th Ti r s e n e e d . a y l z .n ago i s r u e b f m a m i t y d n t a o m e t k t c o out ber r t o c f n A s s s es g o o f f the father and mother, and their son and daughter, the two atter aged respectively 33 and 25, were accused of four cases of infanticide. They lived in the village of Prouvais, and it was a matter of general notoriety that the brother and sister maintained, with the full knowledge of the pa rents, an improper intimacy, and that the result of it was the birth of several children, all of whom mysteriously dis appeared. At length the scandal became so great that the judicial authorities instituted an inquiry, and then the young woman made the horrible confession that for ten years she and her brother had lived together as man and wife, that she had borne not fewer than seven children, and that four of them had been strangled immediately after birth by the brother, with the consent of herself andmother, and in their presence. As to the other three children, two she said were born dead, and the third is now living, seven years old. The dead bodies, she added, were buried in the garden, and there the bones of three were found. Although the woman did not accuse her father, it appeared impos sible that he could be ignorant of these fearful crimes, and he was therefore included in the indictment, but the jury acquitted him. The brother and sister and the mother being convicted of the murders, the two former were con demned to death, and the latter, on &COW of her age, to bard 'glow for life, TRALEE SAVINGS BANK. Captain ST A --- C POOLE, for Mr. O'Connell, asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would introduce a bill this session for the purpose of distributing. the balance of funds belonging to the late Tralee Savings Bank among its depositors ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that there was a certain balance of money which was the un doubted property of the depositors, but the Commissioners of the National Debt had no authority to direct a distribu tion. Under these circumstances it would appear proper that some measure should be adopted for the relief of the parties, but the question had been started at too late a period of the present session to enable anything to be dons. TIIE STATUTE BOOK. Mr. BAGWELL moved for copy of letters from Dlr. James Bigg to the Treasury, dated the 20th day of March, the 3d of May, the 13th of June, and the 21st of July last, respecting the reformation of the statute .book by the pub lication of an edition of existing statutes.--The return was ordered. IMPERIAL GUARANTEES. Mr. HUBBARD moved for an eddies; Kr return of the unexpired imperial liabilities arising under either of the following heads :—Guarantee of loans made by foreign countries or colonial dependencies ; guarantees of interest on railway, telegraphic, or other undertakings, specifying the extent of the loans and the rates of interest ; also the amounts already paid under such guarantees, and the amount still depending. The motion was agreed to. CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. This bill was read a second time. EXCHEQUER BONDS (X 2,000,000) BILL. This bill was read a second time. ENDOWED CHARITIES BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. LLRFT BITTING.] LONDON; TILBURY, AND SOUTHEND RAIL WAY. lIALF-YEARLY MEETING.—(Tats DAY). The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this line was held this day at the London Tavern. The chair was occupied by S. Anderson, Esq. The following is the report of the directors : " The statement of the revenue account for the half-year ending 30th June, 1860, has been furnished by the lessees, and it is herewith submitted tothe proprietors, togetherwith the statement of the capital account to the same data. The total receipts amount to £20,660, ls. 7d., and the expenditure to £13,855, 14s. 4d., leaving a net balance of £6,804, 7s. 3d . Compared with the corresponding period of last year, the balance of the present account is less by £l4llls. 10d. Tho extremely unfavourable weather that has prevailed this year has no doubt had its influence in producing this result. The receipts and payments on capital account remain the same as at the 31st December last. Upwards of 100 of the new houses at Southend are nearly finished, and will soon be ready for occupation. There is a vacancy for an auditor in. consequence of the death of Mr. Saintebury, and it will be for the present meeting to elect a proprietor to fill that office." The CHAIRMAN, in the opening of the business, referred to the financial position of the company, and said the slight falling off in the receipts was not to be wondered at, when the late unfavourable state of the weather for pleasure-taking was considered. The building opera tions at Southend progressed very satisfactorily, and in ad dition to 100 houses ready for occupation another 100 would be ♦ery speedily commenced. Such active exertions wera certain to permanently benefit the company. The share holders would be called upon to elect a gentleman toll the office of auditor vacant by the death of Mr. Saintshn r y t and that being done the business for which they had as sembled would be completed. He concluded by ftw ma lly moving the reception and adoption of the report. The motion was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said the next business was t h e election of an auditor. A PROPRIETOR asked if it was of any use electing an auditor, as the whole of the accounts wore kept by the lessees of the line. Without the auditor had stem to all the ae _ counts it would be useless to elect ona, The CHAIRMAN said the auditor had access to all the accounts. It was his duty to see that the accounts were well and correctly kept, notwithstanding the line was in the hands of lessees. Mr. C. Whetham was then elected auditor, and the pro ceedings terminated with the usual compliment to the chairman. THE GREAT FIRE AT LONDON- BRIDGE. For many years past no fire has occurred in the metropolis involving greater loss of valuable pro perty and materials of various kinds, especially food, than that which destroyed in little more than a couple of hours on Friday, at the dead of night, the huge fabric known as the West Kent Wharf, near London-bridge, with nearly the whole of its multifarious contents. The edifice, six stories high, exclusive of an extensive area of cellarage, and having a spacious frontage abutting upon the Thames, was a vast magazine filled from top to bot tom with provisions and commodities, including corn, wool, feathers, seeds, jute, butter, bacon, cheese, flour, and the like. Most of its contents belonged to brokers and merchants who were in sured against loss by what are called floating policies, representing in this instance in the aggre gate an almost fabulous sum. The principal of these was on the wool stored in the building, of which there is said to have been about 600 bales, valued at from £15,000 to £20,000, and which is only about a tithe of the quantity of that article housed in this particular wharf a few weeks ago. The greater part of it belonged to the firms of Jacomb and Son ; Brown, Eagle, and Co. ; and Brown, Dunne, Salmon, and Co. ; all of them x tensive woolstaplers. Over and above floating policies, upwards of £15,000 was insured on the stock by Messrs. Hartley, the occupiers of the wharf which has been destroyed, and above £18,400 on the building itself. The chief offices in. which the insurances were effected were the Sun, the Royal Liverpool, the Union, the London and Liver pool, and the Globe, most of which have had offi cers at the scene of the fire, yesterday and on Saturday, superintending the disposal of the sal vage and wreck which choke up the ground-floor and lower stories of the building in a mass of hopeless confusion. Some considerable part of the contents, consisting mostly of feathers, butter, and bacon, are said not to have been insured at all, and the consequent loss 'will fall heavily on individuals. In the little dock or creek of St. Mary's Overy, which separated the building from the adjacent property on the west, three barges laden with provision and mer chandise, one of them with tea, were literally sunk by the falling masses of corn which poured from the windows during the conflagration. By little less than a miracle the long range of storehouse's, known as Hibernia-wharf, belonging to Alderman Humphery, and immediately adjoining the build ing which has perished, survive wholly uninjured the destruction which at one time seemed inevit able. The fire, in fact, ended in the edifice in which it originated, scorching only besides a few houses on the opposite side of the creek. It originated, beyond question, in the lighting of a gas burner by a man employed on the premises, in a large room on the ground floor, in which a quantity of jute was stored. The books of Messrs. Hartley were saved, by which they were enabled to estimate the loss sustained by themselves and their customers. TBIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Aug. 21.
