THE LATE MURDERS AT BATTERSEA.-BRlDGE.—Yes terday, at 4 o'clock, Mr. Carter, the Coroner for East Surrey, resumed the inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of William Matthew Clarke. aged seven years, one of the unfortunate children thrown over Battersea-bridge, on Saturday, the 2d instant. 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 but 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 per tfectly hea'thy. He did not open any other portion of the body , a s i t was too far advanced in decomposition Ao have enabled him to arrive it any satisfactory conclusion.

The room was then cleared of s trangers, and after a lapse of tt."l minutes it was announced that the jury had re turned a verdict of " Wilful murder against E ts li , za Clark." •Wtibees setßrandon. u p frm The o ELECTRIC TEUZGRAPII.—The pos and fittings for this wonderful medium Of communication h ave this city to Thetford, and l soon be continued t. 1 telegraph is actually at work b s tween London and Cambridge, so that be we may expect, in a short time, to will receive a message from the Me- fiftee n wire communications tropolis in a few minutes.

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 tne 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 should be left to parents, and to the teaching of the places of worship ; and that there should be no exclusion on account of differences between Christians in the schools themselves. But while their principles in that respect had remained for 41 years unmoved and unaltered, they had participated in the nd p o r ac o o d g ot r pi e ot s oe s which frlovmit hh timear respect b pt e eo e c n t tt m i a o t d h e o i i n m the v science t s a n w d h t i c h themselves, of had 'lretn b rf a e e el and abl e men, had not of which any oneand the suggestions of benevolent they w hao would visit be slow the availto nor normal school of the Borough -road would see ample proof. The contributions of the publi c had enabled o d ciety to the ' e adopt in that school the improvement s w hi ch tended progress of education in the l an d. B ut when most os ea t id to ti le he wished he could say that any i mprovements which they had adopted, or any contributions that they had received, or any . subecriptiens 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 report that in the neighbouring county of 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, coutaming 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 [louse 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 he 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 left the school in possession of nominal rather than gif 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 end 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 ,• and 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 14,6641. 18s. The balance at the end of last year was 756/. 15s. The firs' 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. Fra-er, 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 Bedfqrd for a donation of 1001. 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. RJYAL sUItR,EY 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. The pyrotechnic display was superb. The eruption of Vesuvius, and the destruction of the doomed cities, more than realised the most sublime imaginings of Bulwer, in his description of the destruction of Pompeii. The Gardens were crowded. The gardens were brilliantly illuminated with gas supplied by the London Gas Ligh t t Company - . The h foliage of the effect produced by the gas - lit stars amon g trees was picturesque in the extreme. The fittings up alto gether did great credit to Messrs. Jones and Co., to whose care the management of this department was confided by Mr. Tyler. FIRE AND MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OP THE LANDLORD 1 AND HIS WlFE.—Yesterday morning, at half-past four o'clock, a fire broke out at the Marquis of Wellington public-house, situate in \ew 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, the firemen having forced open the door, and, with a good supply of water, extinguished the fire in less than an hour and a half from its first commencement. The house presents an uncommon appearance inside, as each room is entirely gutted, with the exception of the bar and the first.fioor back room. It ap pears the fire originated in the kitchen, as the entire woodwork about the fireplace is consumed; the flames then proceeded up stairs. The I andlord, 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 stupified. 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 round 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. RIVER THAMES HIGHWAY.—The Thames has within the last few days, since the weather has settled down lair, become the leading highway of personal communication between the City and the West-end. There are no less thanleleven steam-boatslat one penny the trip, engaged in the traffic between London and West minster bridges alone, making thirty-two trips in the hour, or three hundred and twenty trips per diem, which, taking forty as the ave rage number of passengers each journey, will make a total daily of 15,000, whilst the return number may be estimated at the same amount. The fares are one penny, making in round numbers 1251. as the daily receipts ; and the time occupied between the above points varies from a quarter to half an hour, being a much shorter time than it can be effected by omnibus. MORE CHEAP RAILWAY TRIPS.—The directors of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway have commenced running cheap trains to all the stations along their lines on Sundays at the low rate of one halfpenny per mile. SUDDEN DEATH IN A CRAP - EL.—On Sunday after noon, about seven o'clock, during the performance of the evening service at the large Wesleyan Chapel in the Back•road, St. George's in the East, Mr. John Moffatt, a retired servant of the Eau:, lndia Company, residing at 44, John-street, Ott. George's, who formed one of the congregation, was observed to fall suddenly as if he had been shot. Mr. Luke Farrow, who also formed one of the congregation. rendered immediate assistance, in which he was assisted by Mr. Rees, a surgeon, residing in the neighbourhood, but Their efforts were of no avail, as life was utterly extinct. DomzErrz.—Sad tidings from Italy have reached the musical world.

The site has Wu "red al:lo4Na --e L being 7 very near the Londdi'l and St. Katharine Docks, 1 1 . Sailors' Borne, with which there is a private communication, and also in the immediate ittinity of the Seamen's Asylum. Considering the contracted space of ground at his disposal, the architect, Mr. Henry Roberts, has laid it out 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 , f4por, 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 up to a lofty ridge, from which the Union Jack floated outside. On a platform erected in tike centre of the area, and covered with Turkey carpeting, three chairs were I laced, one a chair of state for the Prince; that on the one side for the Bishop of Lenten), and that on the other for the Lord Mayor. Immediately to their right, over an opening in the floor, was suspended 1"..0in ' pulleys the foundation stone, which,- l eieg I,,weee4he tile ropes attached, fitted t o one o f corre sporaling dimenstone 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 MI- 1 " mediately behind the Prince; the seats in front were occur.."'' pied by the Lords of the Admiralty, the committee, and their ladies. The upper and back wenches were occluded by seamen and their apprentices, who acted as an excel lent choir.

The architect then read the inscription as follows : This Foundation Stone of the CHURCH FOR SEAMEN 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-aud 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 sq.iare, 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 strength, and the Apos tolic benediction. The Prince, who looked remarkably well, was dressed in Wain clothes, and wore the blue riband with the star of the Order of the Garter. The Marquis of Abercorn also wore his star and nband. Before leaving, hisßoyal 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 buiding 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 inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Marlborough Head, Foxes-lane, Ratelift, 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 se, , t 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 her through a wicket door of the cell. S& on 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 she was in great agony. He immediately sent for Mr. Ross, a surgeon, who found her quite dead. The surgeon was of opinion that the deceased died from apoplexy, brought on by excessive drinking. The brain was in a state of congestion. The jury returned a verdict to that effect. LOAN 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 trouMe. It seems from an examination, that the accounts contain a statement of i 44 loan societies. of which 42 are situate in Middle sex. It would appear that these societies are not very profitable concerns. Persons are generally induced to obtain a loan, which is spent iu a few days, and they find it no very easy matter to pay 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 1361. 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 individurl who was passing, apparently prompted by a love of mischief, contrived adroitly to thrust the umbrella through the glass, and escape while the unfortunate gentlerhan stood on the spot stupifled with a.stotdshment. A shopmnn rushed out and demanded why he had broken the window; he denied that he had done it, but appearances were against hint, 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 com plete innocence, threatened to seud for ihe police. The pane o' glass was strong plate, and the cost 30s. "It is enormous," said the un fortunate. •' I pnid it, and you must," replied the jeweller. " Here is 2s. 6d.," said the stranger. " tend for a constable!" indignantly ejaculated the man of metal He was inexorable, and the other at length rubmi‘ted, complaining bitted , but observing, justly, that a gentleman couldn't go to a police-office for a trifle. He tcok out three 201. bank not. s, gave one of them to the pacified jeweller, re ceived 181. 10s. sterling as his balance, and retired. A friend dropped into the shop shortly alter- the occurrence was mentioned - the note was shown as a ,corroboratiug proof: it was a forgery.—Dublin Morning Register. EFFECT - OF PUBLIC EXECUTIONS. —Yesterday morn ing Mr. W. Carter held an inquest at the Sea Lion Tavern, Wootton street, Cornwall-road, Lambeth, on the body of Charles Copeman, aged 14 years. Thomas Copeman, a shoemaker, residing in Bate.'s buldings, Lambeth, deposed that the deceased was his son. On 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, sus pended by a long leather strap. Witness called for assistance, when a neighbour named Clarke, came in and cut deceased down. A sur geon was soon in attendance, who opened a vein, but life was quite extinct. The deceased was of a cheerful disposition and of sound mind. The deceased was continually speaking of public executions, and c fre quently trying the effects of hanging, which he took great f a an t Zewo ever since he witnessed the execution of the man Tappinf an ex gate. Witness was of opinion that the deceased was try ' • g of n the de ceased,an, a sister periment in the way of play. Sarah Copem an, i irs n E lli ot t ' s-court, n i t l o io t t h t e s - tied-room, f r t o , ng died .

He would then bow three times, jump off 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 foreign duties, and one for inland duties. It is even said that Sir Robert Peel 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 in the yard of Cowgill Bridge Church, in Dent, when he had dug about 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 80 much below the surface of the ground remains a mystery.—Preston Chronicle. HULL AND BRIDLINGTON 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 more 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, Ste., 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 buildincs) from Beverley to Driifield, inclading the Driffield station; whilst Mr. Haystack. of Leeds, has undertaken the two next contracts from Drittleld to Burlington, and Burlington to Filey. The Beverley station will in deed be an elegant affair, being 350 feet in length, with a light iron and glazed roof (after the fashion ofthe York, Walton, &c., stations). 64 feet wide, and having on each side a platform 19 feet wide—or about seven feet wider than the Hull platforms. The exterior will be n h.aea a ti c tee- t of t a u b r a l r c e k ff ect building ben with the whole of the buildings on the York and Scarborough line, and many o her erections on the lines constructed under the direction of ge t s h ign st ed ne b d y re si s r i .

In consequence of the high prices 'which the iron masters still insist on, the manu facturers of Birmingham and Wolverhampton find themselves unable to compete with Belgium and other continental countries, aed are in consequence thrown almost wholly on the home market, which is in. a state of great depression. It is a fact which ought to be instructive to the great combin ttlon 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.
