CORONER'S INQUEST. SUSPECTED DEATH BY VIOLENCE. (From the Plymouth Journal.) On Wednesday, J. Edmonds, Esq., the coroner of this borough, and a respectable jury, assembled at the Guild hall, for the purpose of instituting an inquiry into the cause of the death of Rebecca Wyatt, the wife of a beer house keeper in Lower-lane. The death of the deceased took place about three months ago, when she was in terred in the burial ground in Westwell-street ; and it was in consequence of a representation made by the mother and friends of the deceased to the coroner, that that gentleman, with a promptness in the execution of his duty which has always characterised his proceedings, and for which he on this occasion justly received the approbation and thanks of the jury, immediately caused the necessary steps to be taken for the investigation. The body of the deceased was exhumed, and the jury having chosen Mr. Thomas Holman as their foreman, proceeded to view it. The first witness examined was named Elizabeth Rowe. She deposed that she had known the deceased about three or four years. She remembered Sunday be fore Christmas day, she then lived in Wyatt's house. About nine o'clock in the morning she heard angry words between the deceased and her husband, which last( d for some time, when she saw him strike her with his fist. She had not then attempted to strike him. She then saw the deceased heave the ash kettle at him, and he hove it again at her. This difference continued for some time, and Wyatt was getting the better of the de• ceased, when she ran to the wash-house and took up a piece of wood which was used for stirring the clothes in the furnace when boiling. Witness did not see any more then ; but in about a minute the deceased came out of the wash-house, where she and her husband were. The piece of wood was then in Wyatt's hand, and the de ceased was bleeding from the mouth, and three of her teeth mere knocked out, and her eye was also very much bruised. Witness then went to Wyatt, who was gone into the bar, and said to him, "Mr. Wyatt, I think you have broken your wife's . jaw." He said, "If I have I will send for Dr. Giles.' He did not deny having struck her, but said she bad attempted to strike him first. She did -not see deceased again until the follow. ing Monday, when she found her in bed in a most awful condition, her left eye was still swollen, and she could scarcely open her mouth. Witness saw her down stairs on Tuesday morning, the 23d, but she again took to her bed on Saturday, where she remained until her death, which took place on the Ist of January. On the Sunday after Christmas-day, the husband of the de ceased said she had been struek by a soldier whilst putting him out of doors, and that the blow was about the pit of the stomach. The stick now produced by Mr. Harris, the constable, is the same she had seen in William Wyatt's band, and previously in the hands of the deceased. Other witnesses corroborated the above evidence, and also gave an account of a quarrel which had taken place on the Saturday after Christmas-day, about eight o'clock in the evening, between some soldiers and the deceased, one of whom struck her on the stomach, which caused her to fall in a fainting state on the stairs. An old woman named Maria Bowden, living in the workhouse, who was frequently in the habit of visiting the deceased, deposed to some conversation which she had had with the deceased on New Year's eve, is which the latter, who was then in bed, and apparently near her death, said to her that Wyatt had often told her he would give her a blow that would send her to her grave; and now he had done it. The deceased never corn piained of having been struck by a soldier. Charles Giles, surgeon, examined, said, I have been the family surgeon to the deceased seven years ; I was called to attend her on Sunday, the 28th of December, about one o'clock. I found her in bed. She had then a black eye and a great swelling about the mouth. I found her very ill, complaining of pain in her head and stomach. She complained of blows received from her husbatkfl, and of having been struck by a soldier. She died the lin of January. I gave the usual certificate of her death, which was to the effect that she died of effu sion on the chest and head. Effusion would arise from many causes, one of which is violence. Ido not think the blows of the stick on the mouth would have pro duced effusion after a lapse of so long a time. The foreman here asked the witness whether he did not think it his duty, as a professional man, in a case of so seridus a nature as this, to make known the circum stances of the case in order that an inquiry might be in st!tuted as to the cause of death ? Giles—l left it with the family of the deceased, whose duty I considered it was, if they were not satisfied, to cause an inquiry to be made. A juror—Did you suggest anything of the kind? Mr. Giles—No. The Foreman—l do confess, Mr. Coroner and gentle men, that I think it an exhibition of great remissness on the part of the medical man, knowing the circumstances under which the deceased came by her death, not to make it known to other parties. The CORONER—I think it is deserving of censure. Mr. Giles repeated that he considered, it inquiry was necessary, the relatives of the deceased party were the persons who ought to move in the matter. A juror—l believe that the medical man, who must be silpposed t 3 know more of the human frame than any body else, is the best judge of the necessity of inquiry into the cause of death ; and he is guilty of great im propriety if he neglects what I conceive to be his duty. Another juror—l think, Mr. Coroner, this conversa tion hardly belongs to the present stage of this inquiry —hardly in place at this moment. I should like to ask one question of the witness, and that is, whether in his opinion there were any symptoms which be observed about the deceased which would lead him to suppose that the deceased died from purely natural causes. Mr. Giles—There were some symptoms certainly. A juror—Did it never enter into your mind that it would be desirable that the matter should be investi gated ? Mr. Giles—l cannot say it did. Some further questions were then asked of the witness. which resulted in the addition of the following to his evidence :—lt never occurred to me that any inquiry was necessary to be instituted as to the cause of the death of the deceased ; if it had 1 certainly should have done so. The Court was then cleared, and some of the jury having expressed their dissatisfaction at the evidence of Mr. Giles, the coroner sent for Mr. Freeman, who was ordered to make a post mortem examination of the body, and the inquest was adjourned to receive his evidence. THE HULL SAILORS' STRIKE.—RIOTOUS PROCEED iNGB .—Weduesday afternoon a disturbance took place, in the immediate vicinity of the Humber Dock, which originated through the exising disputes, respecting wages, between the seamen and the shipowners. It appears that the seamen, who have been some weeks out of employment, owing to their having struck for an advance of wages, which to a great ex tent, has been resisted by the masters, have regularly assem bled in large numbers in the neighbourhood of the docks, a proceeding which created some alarm in the minds of the authorities, and, accordingly, a strong body of the police fierce have been stationed on duty to prevent any breach of the peace. As the sailors connected with the " strike" party did not manifest any apparent disposition to create a disturbance, the number of policemen on duty in the locality in question was reduced. This proceeding seems to have been taken advantage of, and yesterday afternoon the Ilee, of Glasgow, was leaving the dock when a simulta nexus attack was made upon the crew, in consequence, as we are informed, of their having entered into an engagement with the owner or owners at a less salary than the turnouts had demanded. Stones and other missiles were hurled with fearful rapidity, and the police accordingly interfered, when a regular affray occurred. An eye-witness informs us that there were several hundreds either taking part In or wit nesses to the disturbance, and the police having captured one man, whom they deemed as the most prominent character in the riot, they proceeded with their charge to the sta tion-house in Blanket• row, amidst the most execrable shouts and hootings. Inspector Allison took a very active part in endeavouring to suppress the disorder that prevailed, when a large stone was thrown, it is supposed with the in tent of inflicting injury upon him, but which caught a by stander, named James Wood, residing in Paradise-place, on the head, and knocked him down. The poor fellow was severely stunned by the blow, and it was some time before he rallied from its effects. The police on duty having re ceiver' a considerable acquisition to their numbers, they were enabled to quell the riotous proceedings, and secure several of the principal actors in the affray, who were taken to the station-house, and will undergo examination before the ma g,',:trates this day. Such conduct as that to which we have here .alluded is highly culpable, and is calculated to injure, rat h e r ,:han benefit, the object of the parties connected with the strike.- - Hull Advertiser. A lady ri,ling on Monday in an omnibus along the Boulevard to Ole Rue de la Chaussee d'Antin, was seated next a young man of gentlmanly appearance and dress, who, after some rather warm compliments, pressed so close to her, and at last took such liberties, that she was obliged to reprove him rather severely. He pretended to take the rebuke in all humility, modestly acknowledged his error, and t hen, desiring the conductor to stop the omnibus, alighted and walked away. Some minutes afterwards, the lady having occasion to refer to her pocket-book, found that it I was gone, and with it a bank-note for 500 francs and a rail road share. She immediately proclaimed her loss, and got out of the omnibus to pursue her late•fellow passenger, the real object of whose familiarity was now but too evident. It is needlesa to say that he was no longer at her call.—Gulig /soars Messenger. A laug,hable incident occurred at Romsey Abbey Church, on Sunday morning last. An out-eked couple, a nav ie" and one of the fa ctor y ladies, presentd themselves to be united in the indissoluble bond of matrimony. The ceremony performed, the officials naturally looked for their fees—the clergyman received his, but the clerk and sexton heard with rueful countenance that none were forthcoming for them, the husband stating that the parson was quite enough to marry him, " without them other two fellows." As neither threats nor entreaties could prevain on him to salter his determination, it was resolved to try the effect of a little confinement, so the happy couple and their attendants we re locked into the vestry ; but here, however, consolation tinder trials was not wanting, for being armed with their pipes and a match, they comfortably enjoyed themselves fur more than hour, till the arrival of people for morning ser vice compelled them to be dismissed, the fumes of the to bacco rather offending the olfactory nerves of some of the snore sensitive part of the congregation.—Brighton Gazette. HOSPITAL FOR C O N'SIT3IPTIJN.—At a recent meeting of the Committee of Management of the Hospital for Con sumption and Diseases of the Chest, held at the Hospital, Chelsea, the Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of Durham, offered to contribute 501., providing nine similar subscriptions could be procured, for the especial purpose of aiding the fund for furnishing . of the new hospital, recently erected at Brompton. His LordsliVe benevolent intention has been followed, by Philip Rose, Es.., Robert Vyner, Esq., James Alexander, Esq., Sirs. ElizabeZb Vaughan, Sir Robert Fitz Wygi . am, Sir John Kirkland, al,;(1 R. Beazon de Beauvoir, Esq. THE FLOOD.—SeveO,I hundred acres of land in the neighbourhood of Gainsborouh, and on the Trent side, have become inundated this week through the almost unpre cedented heavy rains. Great fears are entertained that the wheat crops will suffer considerably. Several parts of Mor ton Carr, an area of about 4,000 acres, present the appear ance of a vast sea. The large and splendid engine recently erected there, although running night and day, cannot keep athe water off, owing principally to one or two proprietors and occupiers of land not keeping their drains well cleaned'out, so as to tet the water have free access to the engine. It is 'loped th,e Commissioners will see the necessity of some strin gent meast,yes being adopted to compel certain self-willed characters residing on the Carr to get their dikes in proper Atlyertiser. ?RE SUN, LON D ON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 11, 1846: J.

Colonel Sibthorp —Return of the documents upon which the First Lord of the Treasury founded his official statement, on the 14th of February, 1845, of the amount of the revenue anticipated by him on the sth day of April 1846. Mr. W. S. O'Brien — . 1. That it app ears f rom th e re cords of this House, that several royal commissions have from time to time been constituted under the advice of successive Ministi ies, and that many Select Committees have been appointed by this House, for the purpose of inquiring into various subjects connected with the interests of Ireland, with a view to the improve ment of that country. That such Commissions and Committees have laid before Parliament a great number of suggestions, designed to improve the cm dition of the Irish people, which have never been carried into effect. Thatatnongst the most recent instances which may be adduced in support of this assertion, it appears that a royal commission appointed for the purpose of inquiring into the state of the law and practice in respect to the occupation of land in Ireland laid before Parlia wn fifty specific recom mendations, has not yet been ehea adoption year ti 01n8405f which nearly pro posed to this House b y the Government w h ich nominated that commission. 4 . That to insti tute solemn i n q uiries et early in th t without any intention of realising useful results from them, is not only a waste of public money, but is a de lusive mockery, cherishing hope only to disappoint it ; which is calculated to excite just indignation on the part of the people of Ireland ; and that it is, therefore, the 'hay of Government to submit to the consideration of Parliament, with the authority and influence which Government alone can command, such useful measures as may have been recommended by the coin missioes which they have appointed. 5. That the present Administration has voluntarily crip pled its power of effecting useful legislation for Ireland, by advising her Majesty to fill the offices of Chief Secretary,Attorney- General, and Solicitor General for Ireland with individuals who, not possessing the con fidence of any constituency in the United Kingdom, are excluded from Parliament. 6. That, under these cir cumstances, it is expedient that thii House should ap point a Committee, for the purpose of considering which of the measures relating to Ireland, recommended by such commissions and Committees, may be beneficially made the subject of legislation during the present ses sion; and that the assistance of the public officers of the several departments should be afforded in framing and giving effect to such measures. Mr. Fitzgerald—List of the names of persons returned by the several collectors of barony cess in the county of Tipperary to serve as petty jurors. and forwarded to the magistrates for revision. Also, the names returned by the magistrates after revision, to the sheriff, and the names of the persons summoned by the sheriff to act as jurors in the county of Tipperary for the Spring and Summer Assizes of 1845 and the Spring 'Assizes of 1846, in the same order as sent in by the collectors of barony cess and by the magistrates. Mr. Williams—Account of the public income and ex penditure of the United Kingdom in the years ending the sth day of January, 1844, 1845, and 1846; distin guishing the actual payments for the expenses incurred in the collection and management of the revenue; for the charges of the public debt (the terminable annuities being also valued by estimate); for the expenses of the civil Government; the allowances to the Royal Family, and to his Majesty the King of the Belgians; the esta blishment of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland; the ex penses of the two Houses of Parliament, and the civil departments; the other pensions on the c o nsolidated fund, on the gross revenue, and the civil list; also, the Payments for the administration of justice; diplomatic expenses, and on account of the sums voted for the army, navy, ordnanc e , and miscellaneous services; also, public works, bounties, Post-office, the Quarantine and Ware housing establishments; and all other payments not corning under any of the foregoing heads; with an ap pendix, sh ow i ng t h e severa l it ems com p os i ng eac h head of the account (in continuation of Parliamentary paper, No. 519, of session 1845).

The group of seven large and five smaller spots, which were observed approaching the sun's western limb on the Ist instant, appeared yesterday to have in• creased to about eighteen spots, five of them being still large, and one of them nearly doubled in diameter This group, occuping a large and nearly square area on the upper or northern tropic of the sun's disc, took 18 seconds to pass the vertical hair of the telescope, while the whole solar disc took 138 seconds to pass it. Now, the sun's diameter being equal to 882,188 British miles, the diameter on one side of the said group will be ascer tained by the proportion, 138 sec.: 18 sec. : : 882,188 miles : 115,068 miles, or more than fourteen and a half diameters of the earth. Whence the whole area of the said group upon the sun's disc appears to be equal to 13,240,644.524 square miles, or 2111 square diameters of the earth. The interjacent portions of the sun's disc, or luminous solar clouds, appear to be sensibly de pressed, and consequently much dissipated, or rarified. Two very large spots, with an interjacvnt small one. appear following this group, at the distance of about one-fourth of the sun's northern tropic, if we may ap• ply the names of small terrestrial circles to corrospond ing, small solar circles. These large solar spots are ob viously produced by the local dissipation of the luminous solar clouds, which constitute the sun's disc, and con stantly send light outwards to illuminate remote bodies in the heavens, but intercept most of the light projected inwards towards the great dark central body of the sun. Therefore, when local dissipations of the solar clouds occur, arising from the previous discharge of their ac cumulated moisture, in the shape of torrents of rain poured down from them upon the dark central body of the sun, the local dissipation of the solar clouds then commences on the outside, and often proceeds down wards quite through the disc or stratum of the solar clouds, and thereby affords to the inhabitants of the earth a peep into the comparatively dark sky under the disc, which surrounds the dark solid central bodh• of the sun, and which, from their appearance, we call solar spots, but which the inhabitants of the sun, if any, would appropriately call clear sky, because) such clear sky must afford to them an opportunity of examining the remote planetary bodies, which, like the earth, shine in the heavens chiefly by means of the sun's light re flected from them. 4th April.—Three of the spots in the group, on the 51111's western limb, are now, by the increased dissipation of the adjacent solar clouds, extended far beyond their previous extent, and in the remaining portions of luminous cloud, within the extent of the group, so much dissipated as to resemble fleeting portions of cloud in the terrestrial sky. The great extent of this dissipation may be conceived, when it is considered that the ordi nary thickne-s of the stratum of luminous clouds form ing the sun's disc is equal to a whole diameter of the earth. 573 GIG 934 292 673 2,791 4,511 1,837 998 16,420 32,522 1,046 4,047 1,070 5,690 916 2.404 5.807 14,339 1,193 1.504 398 276 1,402 5,816 6,141 676 4,234 637 639 VICTORIES OF THE ENGLISH IN INDIA. (From La Presse.) " A campaign of less than two months has conducted the British army to the gates of Lahore. Sir H. Har dinge rules in the holy city. The cannons of Psombay and the Tower of London, and the enthusiastic applause of the House of Commons, have hailed the memorable victory of Aliwal, the Waterloo of the East Indies, as Sir R. H. Inglis exclaims, who does not hesitate to place General Sir H. Gough on a par with Marlborout s h and Nelson. This parade of panegyrics sufficiently attests the importance attached by our neighbours to the new conquest ; it is at the same time the highest gl rification of the heroism displayed by the vanquished. Five successive battles, fought with an unparalleled bold ness and obstinacy, have swallowed up the moiety of an army of 70,000 men, desperately struggling for the de fence of their territories But who can resist the fortune of England? The kingdom of Runjeet Singh will soon be added as a British province to the defunct empires of Tippoo Saib, of Timour, of Seradjie, and of Holkar. The Seikhs, like the Mahrattas and the Moguls, will only live, at some future period, in re collection. Let us hasten, then, to rescue the name of t his valiant nation before it is effaced from the map; let us render a last homage to this expiring nationality, which reflects, as it gradually expires, so glorious a lustre. Its history is worthy of mention ; it is distinguished by a special cha racter of independence in the midst of the uniform sub jection of the Asiatic tribes. Its history testifies how Ito the influence of institutions can regenerate mankind. It shows that a race like the Hinduos, which seems eternally condemned to vegetate in slavery, may, if it is delivered from the brutalizing yoke of a barbarous reli gion, and from the petrify ing division of castes, recon stitute a progressive society, and live the life of nations." La Presse then gives a long and elaborate history of the Punjaub, .which it is not at present our purpose to quote, nor is it necessary to do so, and resumes his re marks as follows :- 1 " The present Maharajah of the Seikhs, Dhouleep Singh, is a child of ten years of age. The Seikh army, formidable by its force and its discipline, was the real power which ruled the Punjaub, and the English have rendered this fact very clear by their fury in massacre ing, for a space of two hours, the fugitives in the river, and by exacting, after the victory, the disbanding of the Seikh troops. Ii is not doubtful, if we judge from the decision and skilfulness of its movements, that the Seikh army was directed by European officers ; but the intre pidity of which they have given such proofs belongs to themselves. After the death of old Runjeet Singh, the animosity of the inhabitants of the Punjaub broke out against the English in a thousand disorders. Thus, the recent Governments of India have not ceased to main tain on the left bank of the Sutlej, at Loodianah and at Ferozepore, of which they are masters, a corps of observation for the surveillance of the Seikhs, and to interfere immediately circumstances had attained the necessary degree of maturity. A bridge of boats pre pared by the English and various other significant mea sures having warned the Seikhs of the imminence of an invasion, they decided upon preventing it. Their army crossed the Sutlej, resolutely attacked the English camp, and fought for three whole days the bloodiest and best disputed battle that the English have encountered since they set foot in India. It is this aggression which has served as a pretext for Sir Henry Hardinge to justify the invasion of the Punjaub. England has not always such good reasons to give, and we must be satisfied with her—at all events for the care which she takes to have appearances in her favour. " We have shown the progress that these conquerors have made in fifteen years. It was in 1831 that Sir Alexander Burnes first unfurled the British flag on the Indus. On beholding it, a chief exclaimed—' It is all over with Sinde, now that the English know the river that leads thither.' He was right. The disasters of Affghanistan did not repel this devouring ambition, they only rendered it more circumspect. "The conquest of the Punjaub is the most important event in India's history since the fall of the empire of Mysore; it is the complement of the gigantic work com menced by Clive just a century ago, and followed up by Hastings, Wellesley, and their successors with such per severing skill. England, mistress of the Ganges and the Indus, reaches the natural limits of her empire from east to west. On the north, the Himalayas scarcely re strain by their barrier of 8,000 mkres this covetous ge nius, always ready to overflow its boundaries. If, however, the policy of England be carried on in confor mity with wise principles, she will not go beyond; and this seems to be the gist of Sir Robert Peel's words in concluding his speech to the House of Commons with the expression of a hope that henceforth peace will no more be disturbed in India; which, probably, means that England for some time hence will not seek a quarrel with anybody. " The extraordinary enthusiasm excited in London by the success of Sir H. Hardinge testifies how well the advantages of his new conquest are comprehended in his own country. It is not for vain glory that so re flecting a nation is moved to this degree ; and a simple aperfu will suffice to render it apparent. " Already in 1843 a solemn act incorporated the Sinde territory with the Company's possessions, after the Emirs had been crushed in two bloody battles. Cer tain grievances, of a futile character, served as the pre text for this war. Besides the Earl of Ellenborough wanted a success to avenge the defeat in the defiles of Caubul, and to prepare for the invasion of the Punjaub, the only military road leading to Affghanistan. Tao annexation of Sinde gave the English all the Lower Indus ; and the conquest of the Punjaub puts them in possession of the rest of the river. From Attock, at the foot of the mountains of Caubul, to the sea, the Indus is navigable for an extent of 500 leagues. " At present trade is carried on there by flat-bottomed boats of 50 tons ; in a little while the river will be ascended by steamers, scattering on both banks the pro duce of Glasgow, Birmingham, and Manchester, and re ceiving in exchange precious stuffs, the rich and wondrous works manufactured by the ingenious in habitants of those districts. Tatta, in Sinde, supplies the adjoining countries with figured calicoes and mus lins, and clothes the Bayaderes in their scarfs, woven in gold. Moultun, which has just been annexed, and which includes more than 60,000 souls, in a territory five miles in length, is only peopled with weavers and dyers. Cash mere, the fabulous valley, renowned in Oriental legends, and so long coveted by the Company, at length falls into its hands, and surrenders to it the monopoly of the Indian shawls. Runjeet Singh had at Umritsir an entrepot of cashmeres valued at upwards of 1,250,000,000 f. The revenue from the shawls alone was worth to that monarch 18 lacs of rupees (450,000.000 f.) By Herat, Caubul, and Bukhara on the north, and by the Indus and the Persian Gulf on the south, the trade of the 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 inhabitants of Sinde and the Punjaub already,supplies Persia, Turkey, and even Russia with shawls, velvet, satin, and carpets. Judge, then, what their immense manufactures will be come when their produce is a thousand times centupled by the power of machinery, and regulated by British intelligence " Whateverer may be the prejudice of individual politics, iit s impossible not to admire this great destiny of the English people, bursting, in its irresistible expansion, the last barriers which are opposed by the lethargy of the East to European activity. By it it must be hoped that trade will, at no distant period, resume its ancient routes through the massive continent of Asia, intercepted for 800 years by the savage suspicions of Islamism. If the right of nations and equity have often to complain of the means employed by England to attain her object, it is only just to admit that no nation more extensively fulfils its providential mission. In one and the same year she opens to herself China, establishes herself in Borneo, and crosses the Polar Sea. The conquest of the globe, commenced in the 16th century by Spain and Portugal, is completed in the 19th by England Is it not time for France to have her turn ? " .en I 2==ll=llr===.lll=l=s2.Met OUR INDIAN VICTORIES. The following is the form of thanksgiving to Al mighty God, as recited in all the German synagogues throughout the British empire, on the Ist day of Peasch, 5,606, for the signal victories obtained by the British troops in India over the army of the Seikhs. PSALM XLVI. " God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea ; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. God is in the midst of her ; she shall not be moved ; God shall help her, and that right early. The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved ; he uttered His voice, the earth melted. The Lord of Hosts is with us ; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations He hath made on earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunde r ; e 1 -1 e burneth the chariot in the fire.

" Thou who art great in counsel and mighty in work; Thy righteousness is as the Thou goat guest mountain s, strength judgments are everlasting. hero, and inspirest the brave with courage ; Thou guidest their arm to victory, if they practise justice and mercy on earth, causest the mighty to tremble before them ; though hosts encamp against them, their heart faileth them not ; and though war rise against them, they scorn danger and dread it not • for Thy rod and Thy staff accompany them ; in safety they encamp and march. " Thou who art powerful in saving ! Thou bast achieved repeated and signal victories for the British 1 troops in India ; lion-like they faced the enemy and conquered ; they repelled his iniquitous aggression, and totally discomfited him. What now shall we offer to Thee for all these great benefits ?

Mr. Christie—Select Committee to inquire into the condition of the Universities and Colleges of Oxford and Cambridge, and how far and in what way they may be improved as seminaries of learning and education, and made equally accessible to the members of all religious persuasions. Dr. Bowring—To call the attention of the House to the following passage in the report of the Tidal Har bour Commissioners, and to inq .ire into the cause of the delay in transmitting the accounts of the harbours in the Isle of Man, they having bey twice called for by the House of Commons :—" The Isle of Man occupies an important position in the Irish Channel, directly in the track of commu • nication between Liverpool, Glasgow, and Belfast, and of the coal trade from Whitehaven and Maryport, to the whole of the east coast of Ireland. It has been aptly termed the ' Beacon of the Irish Sea,' and as such, everything that care and skill can suggest as to lights, beacons, improvement of its harbours, would be well be stowed, and tend to prevent that recurrence of the nume rous wrecks that have taken place around its shores ; yet such is far from being now the case ; on the con trary (with the exception of the coast lights maintained by the board in Scotland) marked neglect prevails throughout ; and here the evils of irresponsible self elected authority are but too manifest, the Commis sioners meeting only once a year to go through the form of auditing their own accounts, keeping no regular minutes of their proceedings, and practically leaving the whole power and authority in the hands of a single person." Viscount Ebrington—Copies of all minutes of the board of Poor-law Commissioners. and communications, correspondence, and instructions with relation to the administration of the r« lief of the poor in the Rye Union for the years 1840, 1841, and 1842 ; and, Return of number of in-door and out door paupers (distinguish ing the able-bodied) from 1837 to 1846, quarterly ; and quarterly expenditure on the in-door and out-door relief during the same time.

Mr. Williams —On reading the order of the day for going into Committee on the navy estimates; to call the attention of the House to the practice of flogging sailors, and to the manner in which courts' martial are consti tuted in the British navy. Captain Layard—On reading the order of the day for army estimates, to move that an humble Address be pre sented to her Majesty, praying that she will be graci ously pleased to direct inquiry to be made, how far the reduction of the period of service in the army from the present unlimited term would tend to procure a better class of recruits; diminish desertion, and thus add to the efficiency of the service. Mr. Evelyn Denison—ln Committee on Poor Removal Bill, to move an amendment to the effect of establishing an union settlement. A letter from St. retorsburf.gh states that Professor Jacob, of the Imperial Academy, has just communicated to that body the invention of an electrophonic telegraph, com posed of ttn keys, ten different accords, and ten conducting wires, by which the letters of the alphabet and words can be expressed by meaas of sounds. The Academy has pro nounced a favourable opinion of the invention for His mighty acts: praise Him according to His ex cellent greatness. Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet: praise Him with the psaltry and harp. Praise Him with the timbrel and dance: praise Him with stringed instruments and• organs. Praise Him upon the loud cymbals: praise Him upon the high-sounding cy:n bals. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord." BURIED ALIVE —FATAL ACCI DENT AT THE WORKHOUSE CEMETARY. (From the Liverpool Mercury of yesterday.) Yesterday morning it was very generally reported that an accident, which had proved fatal to the lives of several individuals, had occurred at St. Mary's burial ground, better known as the Workhouse Cemetery, situated in Cambridge-street. The facts of the ease do not warrant any such exaggeration, but we regret to say that one man has lost his life. It appears that two men, inmates of the workhouse, named James Kay and John Platt, were engaged in forming a grave at the above cemetery. In consequence of the rain which fell en Sunday and Monday, the ground was in a very wet and slippery state, so much so, that the joists or beams for the purpose of supporting the earth on each side bad become loosened. One of the men named James Kay, about 55 years of age, descended for the purpose of tightening them by means of screws ; he was repeatedly cautioned by his companion on the top to take care that they did not give way, Shortly afterwards, or about twenty minutes past nine, and while the unfortunate man was on the ladder for the purpose of ascending, the beams, stays, earth, &c., suddenly fell in, completely burying the poor fellow underneath, and exposing to view a quantity of coffins, bones, &c., on each side to the depth of several feet. John Platt very narrowly escaped the same fate, fortunately clinging to the top of a doer pl a ced at one of the sides. Means were instantly resorted to for the purpose of rescuing the unfortunate man ; but it was not until half-past twelve o'clock that they succeeded in reaching him, when he was found in the same position as he had fallen, clinging to the ladder. It is almost needless to say he was quite dead. The body was re moved to the workhouse, and an inquest will be held upon it to-morrow The grave was about twenty-one feet deep, almost ready for filling, and, when full, would have contained sixty bodies, the coffins being placed side by side The unfortunate man who has thus prema turely been deprived of life was, we are informed, native of Tarbock, in Cheshire, and very quiet, harmless, and industrious. He was well known to many con nected with the timber trade, having been employed fer a number of years as a carter in this town. He had only been an inmate of the workhouse for three months, having immediately previous been employed at the St. Martin's Cemetery. The disgraceful manner in which the dead are huddled together in this cemetery calls loudly for some legislative interference, to prevent such improper practices being continued in large towns. The effluvium arising from the opened graves was quite an noying. Surely it cannot be generally known that sixty bodies are " cribbed, cabin'd, and confined" in one grave, about 7 feet by 4, and some 24 feet deep, neces sarily creating disease, poisoning the atmosphere, and sickening all who may go near. THE ARMY. THE NEW GOOD CONDUCT WARRANT.—It may be recollected that, according to the provisions of the !le y/ Good Conduct Warrant, issued to all the regiments in her Majesty's service, on the 19th of December, 184 5 1 men acting as servants to officers were in a great degree excluded from the benefits arising therefrom, i. e. a longer peric of srice (wo years was reuired el them. The d injustic e e v of the regulation was rep resented to the military authorities, who have since most con siderately issued the follow ing circular, which expunges the objectionable clauses ; and makes other desirable alterations : " War-office, narch 30, 1846. *%-"," Sir,—l am directed to acquaint you that her Majesti has been graciously pleased to dispense with the pro visions of the 20th and 2 ist articles of the Good Con. duct Warrant, of the 19th December, 1845. These ar• tidies are, therefore, cancelled, as are paragraphs 2,3, 4,5, and 6, of the circular letter of the 28th of Febraario 1846. "I have the honour to I,e, Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, " L. SULIVAIC. " To the Colonel or Officer commanding Reg" meat." RE-ENLISTMENT INTO TH E G RENADIER GUA.RDS.-- - 4 sergeant and corporal, with nine privates, in the third battalion of the Grenadier Guards, who had been kr,' gularly attested at the period of their enlistment sow?, years ago, re-enlisted, receiving the " enlisting shilling , a day or two since, and were again attested before 34 1 ' Alderman Clode, one of the Windsor bench of yogi s ' trates, in which town the battalion is stationed. Tbei will be permitted, agreeably to the War-office circull.o issued last month, to reckon all their former services to precisely the same manner as if the original attestatioll_ had been in all respects regular.
