The body had been found in the work-gate hole of the Vauxhall and South Lambeth Water-Works, abutting on the river, and about 200 yards below the Red-house. It was taken to the above house, washed, and afterwards identified by the father. On Saturday, Mr. Carter opened an inquiry, which, after two hours' duration, he adjourned, for the purpose of having a post mortem examination of the body. The wit nesses then examined, with bet one exception, had given their evi dence previously, both at the Adam and Eve, Chelsea, and at the Westminster Police-court, and, therefore, any repetition would be unnecessary. Yesterday a number of witnesses were examined, but as their testimony was given in the earlier part of the day, at the inquest held before Mr. Wakley, upon the body of' Jane Clark, the Infant child, a re iteration would be useless. The only witness not examined, as before stated, was Mr. Tatham, of Belmont-place, Wandsworth-road, sur geon. This witness stated, that having received an order from the coroner to make a post mortem examination of the body of the de ceased, he proceeded to do so that morning. He first examined the body externally, and could find ne mark of violence existing that was likely to cause death. He then removed the scalp from the head ; the skull was entire, and the brain and other parts were ias per fectly healthy. He did not open any other portion of the body , L was too far advanced in decomposition to have enabled him to arrive at any satisfactory conclusion. The deceased had die d from sub mersion. The coroner having examined all the witnesses, summed up the evidence with minuteness and clearness, andeldeftwithteothtehre they considered say how the deceased had come by his death, person a who had so considered the woman, Eliza Clark, caused that death. The room was then cleared elligredatofthsetrotrytgehrl and after a lapse of ten minutes it was ann e o t tn os t turned a verdict of " Wilful murder ag t eed Eliz th a Clark."

The forty-first general meeting of this society was held yesterday in Exeter-hall. The attendance was very large, the hall being completely filled. The Right Hon. Lord John Russell was unanimously called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN said—ln opening the forty-first anniver sary meeting of the society, he would venture to address to them a few words previously to the reading of the report. It was scarcely necessary to state that there had been no change in the fundamental principles on which the society • rested ; but that they were unchanged in their opinion that the Scriptures ought to be taught to every child who could be brought to receive instruction within these kingdoms ; that they were no less unshaken in their opinion that the schools ought to be made as general and diffusive as possible ; and that the separate instruction of each religious persuasion f shouldworship be left to p aren t s, an d to t h e teac hi ng o f the places o hip ; and that there should be no exclusion on account of differences between Christians in the schools themselves. But while their principles that respect had remained for 41 years unmoved and unaltered, in they had participated in the general progress whi c h had been made in the science and the art of education. With respect to the improvements which had been adopted from time to time, and the suggestions of benevolent and able men, they had not been slow to avail themselves, of which any one seewould visit the normal school of the Borough-road -would°proof. t The contributions of the public had enabled the P o e ' i y cst to t a o d t ogt in that school the improvements which tendet e l i n e progress of education in the land. But when he said this, e he wished he could say that any improvements which they had adopted, or any contributions that they had received, or any subscriptions made either by the state, by communities, or individuals, had enabled them to keep pace with the want of education.—(Hear, hear.) He was sorry to say that the utmost they could do was to keep down the weed of ignorance from overspreading the land, and that they were.very far from having succeeded in eradi cating it. They would agree with him when he told them that it would appear in the reporethat in the peiglibouring county or Essex alone there were now 40,000 children who did not receive the benefit of instruction ; and he might add further, that while they were proceeding to the utmost of their power, that while there had been new schools added, containing room for 13,000 children, in addition to those who were provided for last year, that the supply was far from keeping pace with the yearly increase of population in the country. This want was felt by all classes of the commu nity. Lord Ashley, whose name was never to be mentioned without honour—(Cheers)—in moving an address to the House of Commons on the subject of education, and parti cularly on the state of the manufacturing districts, was an swered with regard to one great manufacturing town, that of Leeds, by the experienced pen of Mr. Baines ; but he suc ceeded in proving, not only the ill condition of Leeds, but that the city of Westminster, in the very heart of the metropolis, was even in a still less satisfactory state. So that if they went to the rural districts they would find whether, by re ports cf commissioners on education, whether by reports of commissioners sent by Government, or chaplains of gaols, that there were thousands of children to whom the first elements of religious teaching was entirely unknown— that if the name of Jesus Christ was mentioned to them, they were in ignorance of its meaning, and igno rant of every doctrine of Christianity . . He said then that the present was no time to wait. There was another point to which he would call their attention— the state of the schoolmasters. He had mentioned the great improvements which had been made in the modes of teaching, by which the disposition and understand ing of the children were brought into activity, but still nearly everything depended on the capacity and disposition of the teacher. One who merely taught children by rote, either to read or write, left them when they lett the school in possession of nominal rather than of real knowledge. He asked them if it was not fit that an effort should be made to raise both the emoluments and rank of the schoolmasters? It had been supposed that teaching was an easy art, that persons who had retired from other businesses could well undertake that of instructing youth. But every year they lived, every step they took, only tended more and more to show that to teach well, to elevate the mind of children, to implant religious and moral principles, and to send them from school in a fit state to take a part in the community—that this was one of the most difficult tasks that any man could undertake. With one observation more he would leave them to the report. In stating last year in the House of Commons the want of education, he had pointed out that there were reasons why a great portion of the labouring population of this country were unable to educate their chil dren as they might wish ; and he could trace that those who received a certain amount of wages could lay out a certain portion of their earnings in the education of their children; that where they received less wages, they could dispose of less in that way, and were unable to obtain the comforts and clothing which were necessary to maintain a decent appear ance even as a labouring man; and that if the labourers re ceived only the lowest rate of wages, the greatest portion of it went to pay for the necessary bread for the sustenance of themselves, their wives,'and families. He trusted, however, that they would see in the progress of events, and by the wisdom of the Legislature, that the labouring classes in this country would speedily be enabled to obtain such a command of the necessaries of life—{Loud cheers)—that they might be able to devote a greater portion of their incomes to the edu cation of their children. He was sure they would wish to do so if they were able; but he had always held that all those great questions were connected together, and that it was unwise and unworthy to look only to one portion of their task. The man who looked only to the education of the people, and would not care what was their physical condition, left out a most essential element of his duty; and he who, on the contrary, would only endeavour to improve the wealth of the country, and not cast an eye to see whether this was an educated, in structed, and religious people—that he likewise only took half of his duties, and had a limited and narrow conception of the duties which belonged to them all. He said, let us endeavour to improve the physical condition of the people; endeavour to improve their instruction ; end let us, with a population in Great Britain nearly double what it was at the commencement of the century, endeavour so to raise the condition, so to improve the education of the people, that we may be thought not unworthy to be directors of a great people in an enlightened age.—(Loud applause.) The SECRETARY then read the report, which was of great length. The total number of students, it stated, admitted to the normal schools since the opening of the institution, was 45,889. The financial condition of the society was more satisfactory than it had ever been ; for the first time they were in a healthful condition. Within the last few days the liberal donations that had been made had been increased by a donation of 1,0001., which the donor would only allow to be announced as from " a lady." The total receipts were 14,664/. 18s. The balance at the end of last year was 756/. 15& The first resolution, moved by the Marquis of Lorn and seconded by Lord Kinnaird, was for the adoption and print ing of the report, and was carried unanimously. The second resolution expressed the satifaction of the meeting at the formation of county associations for the pro motion of county education, proposed by the Bishop of Nor wich, seconded by Lord Monteagle, and supported by the Rev. G. Smith, of Poplar, was also unanimously carried. The Rev. JOHN STOWLER, of Kensington, seconded by the Rev. W. Fraser, of Stockwell, proposed the third resolution, " That the remuneration of teachers of all kinds should be better," and was also carried unanimously. Mr. FINLAY M.P., proposed the fourth resolution, ex pressing the acknowledgements of the meeting to the Queen and Prince Albert for their munificent annual donation of 1001. This was also agreed to, as was also the last resolution, thanking the Duke of Bedford for a donation of 100/. to the society, and Lord John Russell for his conduct in taking the chair. The Noble Lord having briefly returned thanks, the meet ing separated. _ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. Mr. Tyler commenced his summer campaign last evening, and commenced it gloriously. In our yesterday's paper we gave a detailed account of the various improvements which he has made in the laying out of the gardens during the recess, which were illuminated last evening, Lights, flowers, and music made it a perfect scene of enchant ment.

FIRE AND MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF THE LANDLORD AND ms WlFE.—Yesterday morning, at half-past four o'clock, a fire broke out at the Marquis of Wellington public-house, situate in New street, Horsleydown. The Tooley-street engine was quickly on the spot, as also the parish engine. It was, however, found unnecessary to put them into operation, th e firemen having forced open the door, and, with a good supply o f water, extingu is hed the fire in less than an hour and a half from its first c ommencement. The house presents an uncommon appearance inside, as each room is entir ely room . It gutted, with the exception of the b a r an d th e fi rs t- fl oor b ac k pears the fire originated in the kitchen, as the entire woodwork about aP. the fireplace is consumed; the flames then proceeded up stairs. The landlord was awoke with the bed being in one mass of blaze ' • he immediately got up and threw the bed out of the window, and had he not compelled his wife to leap out, there is every probability she would have been suffocated, as at that time she was getting quite stupilled. Strange to say, that although the door of the bed-room is barely scorched, everything is entirely consumed. A picture, valued at 100 guineas, is destroyed. Although the fire must have burnt with so much fierceness for the time, the staircase is hardly touched. The top room presented a strange appearance, the fire, in its way up, got through a small window into the room, and ran entirely reund the walls, and the only damage done was to a gown hanging up at the other end of the room, and scorching the walls. The house is, we believe, insured in the Sun Fire-office.

'~~~ ~-.~i CHURCH FOR THE SEAMEN OF THE PORT OF LONDON. Yesterday the foundation-stone of the church in Dock street, Commercial-road, for the accommodation of the sea men frequenting the port of London, was laid by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The site has been well chosen, being very near the London and St. Katharine Docks, the Sailors' Home, with which there is a private communication, and also in the immediate vicinity of the Seamen's Asylum. Considering the contracted space of ground at his disposal, the architect, Mr. Henry Roberts, has laid it oat to the best advantage, the extreme length of the church being 69 feet, the width 53 feet ; the height to the ridge of the roof is to be 52 feet, and the tower and spire 100 feet. The seats are to be open benches, entirely free, to accommodate 600 on the floor, and 200 in the side galleries. From the walls, which have already been raised to the height of about 15 feet, a blue and white canvass awning was stretched and carried 'upto a lofty ridge, from which the Union Jack floated outside. On a platform erected in the centre of the area, and covered with Turkey carpeting, three chairs were placed, one a chair of state for the Prince; that on the one side for the Bishop of London, and that on the other for the Lord Mayor. Immediately to their right, over an opening is the floor, was suspended from 'pulleys the foundation stone, which, being lowered by the ropes attached, fitted to one of corresponding dimenstows and enclosed a bottle containing the plan of the building and the inscription. The whole of the remaining space was occupied by crimson-covered seats in ascending rows, which were filled by ladies and gentlemen. The clergy, who at tended in considerable numbers, occupied three benches im mediately behind the Prince; the seats in front were occu pied by the Lords of the Admiralty, the committee, and their ladies. The upper and back benches were occupied. by seamen and their apprentices, who acted as an excel lent choir. The Prince arrived at ten minutes to three o'clock, attended by the Marquis of Abereorn, and was received at the western front entrance by Mr. J. Labouchere, the treasurer, Lord A. Cholmondeley, and Captain H. Hope; followed by Captain Saurin and the other members of the Committee, and con ducted amidst loud cheers to the chair ofstate provided for him on the platform. Neither the Bishop of London nor the Lord Mayor had yet arrived, and his Royal Highness, on the invi tation of the treasurer, proceeded to inspect the Sailers' Home. Meanwhile the Bishop of London, the Lord Mayor. and the Earl of Ellenborongh arrived. On his return the oPnrinbczehasawl addressedfafosolflotwhsedirectors : , by the treasurer, Mr. John Labou chere, M ay itot theplease o 3 r , e o h u your rR seamenoyal H i and g Highness-- es s in ; self I beg to express our most grateful thanks to your Royal Highness for your kindness in coming to lay the, foundation stone o f th e fi rst metropolis for are the to b use of t , e church among whicli has us this dayev,e b st e t e t n itt er s e in cte w d h in ich th , is tro Bo m o: e inn p tunba e m rfe en ct'.ly all fr th ee re I cannot refrain from availin g myseir thp present opportu nity; also, to express our most grateful thanks to her Ma jesty, for her liberal support in favour of this national under taking, and I sincerely trust that the countenance it has re ceived both from her Majesty and yourself will induce others to come forward and supply the remaining funds necessary to the completion of the church." The religious portion of the service commenced by the singing of ahvmn, followed by the reading of the 84th psalm, the Lord's Prayer, and the dedication. The architect then read the inscription as follows : This Foundation Stone of the CHURCH FOR SEADIEN of the Port of London was laid Monday, 11th of May, A.D. 1846, in the 9th year of the Reign of her Majesty Queen Victoria, by His Royal Highness Prince Albert, K.G., Her Majesty's Consort. The Right Hon. and Right Reverend Charles James Bishop of London. John Labouchere, Esq., Treasurer. Henry Roberts, F.S.A., Architect. William Cubitt and Co., Builders. The inscription having been deposited in the bottle, and the mortar having been spread by a silver trowel on the lower stone, the upper block was gradually lowered; and the Prince having by aid of plummet and level ascer tained that all was fair and square, applied the mallet with artistic dexterity to each corner of the stone, the Bishop say ing, " We place this foundation-stone in faith and hope, to the glory of God through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen." This was followed by the 122 d Psalm, which was chanted by the choir, prayers for protection and s t rengt h, and the Apos tolic benediction. The Prince, who looked remarkably well, was dressed in plain clothes, and wore the blue riband with the star of the Order of the Garter. The Marquis of Abercorn also wore his star and riband. Before leaving, his Royal Highness desired that three cheers should be given for the success of the work ; which were given by the sailers, and three more for her Majesty and the Prince. His Royal Highness re-entering his carriage, was most enthusiastically cheered by the assembled crowds outside the building. A liberal collection was made at the church door in aid of the balding fund, which, we under stand, is still between 2,0001. and 3,0001. short of the esti mated sum required-9,0001. DEATH IN A STATION-HOUSE.-=Yesterday, an inquec t was held before Mr. Baker, at the Marlborough Head, Foxes-lane, Rateliff, on the body of Hannah Barker, aged twenty-seven, who died in a police-station on Saturday night last. It appeared from the evidence of police-sergeant Harris, 17 K, who was on duty at King David-lane station, Shadwell, on Saturday night, that the deceased was brought there on a charge of stealing 12s. from the wife of a man with whom she had been drinking. The prisoner was very violent and much excited. He sent for Mrs. Douglas to search the deceased, who exclaimed with a fearful oath that she had no money except twopence in her possession. Directly afterwards sixpence in halfpence were taken out of her left hand. About a quarter of an hour afterwards she called for some water, and it was handed to 11 iir through a wicket door of the cell. Scon afterwards she again called for water, and her wants were supplied. A few seconds after she had drunk the water Harris heard her fall heavily on the floor. On opening the door of the cell he found her lying on the floor, groaning as If Inc was in groat agony. He immodiatoly sent for Mr 'Rosa. a surgeon, who found her quite dead. The surgeon was of opinion that the deceased died from apoplexy, brought on by excessive drinkin g. The brain was in a state of congestion. The jury returned a verdict to that effect. LOAM SOCIETIES.—The annual accounts of loan societies for last year, presented to Parliament, have been printed. A little arrangement in these accounts would save a great deal of trouble. It seems from an examination, that the accounts contain a statement of 144 loan societies, of which 42 are situate in Middle sex. It would appear that these societies are not very protitalle concerns. Persons are generally induced to obtain a loan, which 18 spent in a few days, and they find it no very easy matter to p ay weekly sums for a period of a year. In Middlesex last year two were discontinued, and eighteen others yielded no net profits after the payment of interest and the cost of management. To three societies in Tottenham-court-road there were as many as 5,352 ap plications for loans last year. One of the societies in Tottenham court-road had 2,395 applications in the year, of which 1,957 were borrowers. The net profit of the concern amounted to 136/. 14s. 4d. There are sixteen loan societies in Liverpool, one of which had nearly 4,000 applications last year; the society - granted only 1,776 applications. A few days since a person, genteelly dressed, was observed standing at the window of a respectable jeweller of Dublin. as if admiring the rich works displayed for sale inside. He had an umbrella placed carelessly under one arm, and, while he was gazing, another individual who was passing, apparently prompted by a love of mischief, contrived adroitly to thrust the umbrella through the glass, and escape, while the unfortuflate gentleman stood on the spot stupifled with astonishment. A shopman rushed out and demanded why he had broken the window; he denied that he had done it, but appearances were against him, and he was obliged to enter the shop to settle the affair. The proprietor of the establishment demanded. payment for the damage done, and when the other talked of his corn.. plete innocence, threatened to seud for the police. The pane of gIaSS was strong plate, and the cost 30s. "It is enormous," said the un— fortunate. " I paid it, and you must," replied the jeweller. " Hers is 2s. 6d.," said the stranger. " Send for a constable!" indignantly' ejaculated the naan of metal. Ile was inexorable, and the other at. length submitted, complaining bitterly, but observing, justly, that a. gentleman couldn't go to a police-office for a trifle. He took out three 201. bank notes, gave one of them to the pacified jeweller, re-. ceived 181. 10s. sterling as his balance, and retired. A frienddropped into the shop shortly after—the occurrence was mentioned—the notes was shown as a :corroborating proof: it was a forgery.—Tiubl* Morning Register. EFFECT . _ OP PUBLIC EXEC UTlONS.—Yesterday morn.- ing Mr. W. Carter held an inquest at the Sea Lion Tavern, Wootton► street, Cernwall-road, Lambeth, on the body of Charles Copeman, aged 14 years. Thomas Copeman, a shoemaker, residing in Bates's— buildings, Lambeth, deposed that the deceased was his son. Ott. Thursday last, about noon, witness left home for a short time, direct— ing the deceased to finish some work. Witness returned in an hour afterwards, and on opening the door of the room where he left the' deceased, he found him hanging to the top rail of the bedstead, EOl3. p a en n d eig ed h b bo y u a r long leather vr strap . iS geon was soon in attendance, ho opened a vein but and of sound mind.: ineWinitt Witness sccalut l d ed ecea for ass d is o r in n w c .as e, Aq vi lw. - he t f extinct.'

Deceased Bailey, the deceased called the children up stairs into the bed-room then got upon the foot of the bedstead, and pulled a large White nightcap over his head, after which he clasped his hands tegether, as if in the act of praying. He would then bow three times, jump or the bedstead, and pretend to die. Verdict—" That the deceased did destroy his own life by hanging himself; but whether it was the re sult of an accident in trying an experiment, or otherwise, they had no sufficient proof." _ A rumour is afloat in the City to the effect that there is to be an immediate consolidation of the Board of Excise and the Board of Stamps and Taxes, so as to leave only one revenue board for customs or foteign duties, and one for inland duties. It is even said that Sir Robert reel intends to make this arrangement part of his forthcoming budget. The repeal of many of the Excise duties, and the expected repeal of others, render some change necessary, and. the present united revenues of both the existing boards do not amount to so large an income, it is said, as was formerly collected by one board alone. - RATHER SINGULAR.—About a fortnight ago, as a man named Thomas Holland was in the act of digging a grave ha the yard of Cowgill Bridge Church, in Dent, when he had dug atont four feet deep he came in contact with a skull. On taking it up. he found in the inside a quantity of hay and straw, out of which, to the no small amazement of Mr. Holland, jumped two full grown mice. How they got there, or what was their fancy for building a nest so much below the surface of the ground remains a mystery.—Presto* Chronicle. HULL ANDBRIDLINGTON RAILWAY. —It is confidently asserted that the whole line, thirty miles in length, will be opened in. July. The most active progress is making with the works upon every' part of the line, and perhaps nowhere are these operations mores conspicuous than in Beverley, where the rails already cross on the level Flemingate, or the high road to Hull, near the Minster. Yet so tardy are some of the landowners in giving up possession, that the workmen have taken it by force and re-taken it several times. This has been the case with respect to the site of the station at Be verley, of which the Beverlonians will ere long have just reason to be proud. Messrs. Hutchinson and Siminson have taken the Beverley contract for stations, &c., which comprises the whole of the buildings from that town to Hull, including stations, gatekeepers' lodges, ware houses, coal depots, &c. The sum, we hear, is between 20,0001. and 30,0001. Messrs. Hall and Brown, of Leeds, are the contractors (to a somewhat similar amount and for similar buildings) from Beverley to Driffield, Including the Driffield station ; whilst Mr. Nay - stack. of Leeds, has undertaken the two next contracts from Brittle] I to Burlington, and Burlington to Filet' The Beverley station will in deed be an elegant affair, being 350 feet in length, with a light Iron onn The l9 ex i and glazed roof (after the fashion of the York, Malton rts , h & es c hare ., ed s : 1:w : e o n : It s: :: aabb3ruit , :e b ven feet at with stone dressings, and will have a neat architec ts feet wide, antdwhidnevrintghaonn theaerausilidpeiatafopnrilatfs. o a fs York,se n g e of the buildings on the York and Scarborough line, and wholeher erections oa the lines constructed under the direction of ignth'vae.nFitnlson and hiscolleagues.

It is a fact which ought to be instruclive to the great combination of British iron masters to obtain prices, that Belgium has recently imported iron from the United States, manu factured it, and sent the manufactured article to England, where it has been sold to a profit at less money than the British manufacturer could dispose of his goods for. A CASE OF CONSCIENCE. —A person residing at Hay!. Copperhouse, who has been for n - ,any years engaged in an extensive business, received last week an anonymous letter with the post office mark of Bradford, Wilts, with a 5/. bill enclosed, stating that the writer of the letterihad, many years ago, received from the per son to whom the letter was addressed a 5/. bill instead of a I/. note. with orders to keep the whole ittm, allowing for iuterest,--Faimaillk ?mktg.
