IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, July 6. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY took his seat upon the 1 Woolsack at Five o'clock, when there was a very full at tendance of Peers. We observed that Lord Stanley, the Duke of Richmond, Lord Lyndhurst, the Duke of Buckingham, the Marquis of Londonderry, Earl St. Germans, Lord Brougham, Lord Stradbroke, Lord Combermere, and the other Noble Lords had passed over to the Opposition benches. The Marquis of Lansdowne and Earl Grey were the only Peers, who, up to five o'clock, took their seats upon the Ministerial benches. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Messengers from the Commons brought up certain railway and other Bills. At a quarter past five o'clock Lord COTTENRAM took his seat upon the Woolsack, and many Peers went up and shook hands with the Noble Lord, congratulat ing him. LUNATIC ASYLUMS BILL. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from Glamorganshire, praying for certain alterations in the Lunatic Asylums Bill. It was ordered to lie upon the table. Other messengers from the House of Commons brought up certain Bills, the reception of which occupied a con siderable portion of time. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a pri vate gentleman in Southampton, complaining of the injuries which a proposed railway would inflict upon his property. MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that consider ing the present state of circumstances, and the number of new writs which had been moved for in the other House of Parliament, it would be quite inexpedient to transact any public business ; he would be therefore quite prepared to move that the House at its rising do adjourn until some day next week, were it not that there was an immense quantity of private business to be transacted. He would, therefore, not move an ad journment, but that the House should continue to sit, it being expressly understood that no public business should be transacted—the House only to hear motions with reference to private business, and to receive pe titions. Lord STANLEY thought that it would be incon venient for them to sit at four o'clock, and that the usual hour would be much preferable. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had no objection to accede to the sugge stion , of the Noble Lord, that they s h o uld meet at five o clock. Lord BROUGHAM said that it. was quite impossible for them to adjourn, for the judges had to meet there for the purpose of giving judgment in two important causes, and they could not do so in the event of the House adjourning for a week. MANCHESTER MARKETS BILL. On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND, this Bill was read a third time and passed. Messengers from the Commons brought up several Bills and prayed their Lordships' concurrence. Their Lordships then adjourned till to-morrow at five o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 6. The SPEAKER. took the Chair at Pour o'clock. NEW WRITS. Mr. TUFNELL moved that new writs be issued for the following places:— CHESTER. In the room of John Jervis, Esq., who had accepted the office of her Majesty's Solicitor• General. SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF STAFFORD. In the room of the Hon. J. Anson, who had accepted the office of Clerk to the Ordnance. TOWER HAMLETS. In the room of Charles R. Fox, Esq., who had ac. cepted the office of Surveyor to the Ordnance. GLOUCESTER. In the room of Frederick Fitzhardinge Berkeley, Esq., who had accepted the office of one of the:Commissioners for performing the office of Lord High Admiral of England. HERTFORD. In the room of W. F. Cowper, Esq., who had accepted the office of one of the Commissioners for performing the office of Lord High Admiral of England. EVESHAM. In the room of Lord Marcus Hill, who had accepted the office of Comptroller of her Majesty's Household. ROSCOMMON. In the room of Denis O'Conor, Esq., commonly called The O'Conor Don, who had been elected one of the Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Treasurer of England and Vice-Treasurer of Ireland. RICHMOND. In the room of Henry Rich, Esq., who had been elected to the office of one of the Commissioners for performing the office of Lord High Treasurer of Eng land and Vice-Treasurer of Ireland. SOUTH LANCASHIRE. Mr. THORNELY moved that a new writ be issued for South Lancashire in the room of Lord Francis Egerton, now Earl of Ellesmere, recently called to the Rouse of Lords. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY (GREENWICH TO CHILHAM.) Mr. FREWEN moved that this Bill be read that day six months. The railway interfered with the public by crossing an important public road on a level, and the Metropolitan Commissioners had reported strongly against it. Sir E. FILMER said that the motion was quite un expected, as no notice had been given. He should cer tainly oppose it, as no company had ever tried to do more for the benefit of the country through which it passed. Mr. PROTIIEROE said that he regretted that the Hon. Member who made the motion had not, during the interval which had elapsed since the last discussion on this question read, the report of the Highway Com missioners. They did not in their report mention a word of this line. They only spoke of a branch which was to go to the west-end of the town, and which was lot before the Committee at all. Sir R. H. INGLIS wished to call the attention of the House to the state of this particular Bill. It was passed, it was true, by the casting vote of the Chairman, but still it was passed. It was re-committed on grounds which appeared to her Majesty's Government, and to the House generally, sufficient to justify , the recommittal—namely, the necessity of maintaining unimpaired the obsorvations made at the Royal Observatory. That object had been secured, and the Bill now came forward, supported by the Chairman of the Committee and sanctioned by the authority of the House. He would submit to the Hon. Member that they should not be occupied in a discussion on which the sense of the House had already been fully taken. Mr. FREWEN said that he would not persist against the sense of the House, and he would therefore with draw his motion. The Bill was then read a third tine and passed, as were also the following Bills ":—Belfast Improvement — Bristol and Birmingham Railway (Gloucester and Stone house Junction)—Caledonian Railway (Carlisle De viation)—Caledonian Railway (Glasgow, Garnkirk, and. Coatbridge Purchase) Morley Waterworks —De Winton's Estate Dundas's Estate —"Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester Railway Gravesend and Roches ter Railway and Canal Sale and Purchak—Great North of England Railway Purchase—Hull and Selby Railway Purchase Kennington-lane, &c.

SECOND READINGS. The following Bills were read a second time :—;l'lee • wing's Estate Bill—Hill's . Estate Bill. REPORTS. The following reports were received :—Cambridge Improvement , ,Huddersfield Lid Manchester Railway (Bradford Branch)--Laneashim Waterworks— Leeds, Wakefield, and Midland Junotion Railway. The report on the following bills were considered and agreed to :—Creagh's pii , orcel3lll—Cromford Canal — Huddersfield and Manche4lT Railway (Oldham Branch) —Huddersfield and Sheffield and Manchester and Leeds Aailwailway Amalgamation —Norfolk Estuary (a clause and amendment,. to be proposed)—Sc.vern Navigation— Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Railway Amalg Improveamation .. ment Stockp . ort Improvement T un b r id ge Wells :, •- - . - I.'ilNl3l-1113Ffi WELLS IMPROVEMENT.

SOUTH-EASTEIIN (GREENWICH TO CHART, WITH BRANCHES TO TIJNBRIDGE AND RIVER IIEA D). On the question being put for the third reading of this Bill, Mr. WAKLEY (in the absence of Mr. T. Duncombe) ) aoved that 'the Bill and Mr. T. Duncombe's amend ,ients be referred back to the Select Committee on ~ta n ding Orders. Agreed to. • Mr. GREENE' mbved that the standing order'No. ;20, be on Tuesday next, 7th July, suspended ; and .`tat reports on Bills which were brought up on orbefore Friday be taken info 'consideration on Tuesday next, soviaed prints of the amended Bills be delivered to the doorkeepers for the use of Members on or before Mon day next.—Agreed to. The HON. MEMBER also moved that the Galway and Kilkenny Railway Bill, and the Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Railway Bill, be read a second time to-morrow, provided the breviates be laid on the table this day.— Agreed to. The HoN. MEMBER, in the absence of Mr.' Estcourt, then moved that it be an instruction to the Committee of Selection, that they have power to appoint the Com mittee on Hill's Estate Bill, to meet on Thursday, the 9th day of July, at three o'clock.—Agreed to. I GLASGOW AND BELFAST UNION RAILWAY. On the motion for the consideration Of therepOriOn the Glasgow and Belfast Union Railway Bill being put, Mr. HODGSON considered that a gross deception had been practised upon the Committee upon this Bill, and that this deception was intentional, and he called upon the House and Honourable Members who were anxious to support and maintain the efficacy of the standing orders of the House to support him in his amendment, which was that the further consideration of the report should be postponed till that day three weeks. The amendment was then agreed to. NEW WRIT. Mr. TUFNELL moved for a new writ for the borough of Manchester, in the room of M. Gibson, Esq., who since his election had accepted the office of Vice- President of the Board of Trade. HIGHWAYS BILL. Mr. WRIGHTSON presented petitions from Nor manton against this Bill. THE SUN, - _LONDON: TUESDAY __,EVENING, JULY 7, 1846. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. On the motion of Mr. BARING, it was agreed that the House should meet to-morrow, Thursday, and Friday, at twelve o'clock, for the transaction of private business only.

The House was then adjourned till twelve to-morrow. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (N ESTERDAY) HOUSE OF LORDS. Room B. A Select Committee, consisting of the Duke of Leinster, and Lords Powis, Stratford, and Colchester, &c., met at eleven this morning. Their list included two Bills, viz., the Glas gow, Airdrie, and Monklands Junction, and the Caledonian (Glasgow Termini and Branches). They proceeded with the case of the GLASGOW, Antnium. AND moNslau)nis SUNCTIOBT. Mr. Austin and Mr. Hildyard appeared for the promoters of the Bill. Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Talbot, and Mr. Whitmore appeared for the Glasgow, Garnkirk, and Coatbridge Rail way Company, who petition against the Bill, on account of the line passing under their line, and taking a small " private line," which they represented to be their pro perty ; and for the Caledonian Railway Company, who petition, on account of their having purchased the Garnkirk and Coatbridge Railway, and being about to amalgamate with them by the powers of an Act now before this House. The same counsel appeared for seven professors of the Glas gow University, who petitioned on the ground that the line would take the University. Mr. AUSTIN objected to the opposition on the part of the University professors,_ on the ground that they did not pro perly represent the University. After some discussion, the Committee decided that the opposition was inadmissible. Mr. Augrug then opened the case for the promoters of the Bill, after which he proceeded to call Mr. Delmoge, the owner of several cotton factories in and near Glasgow, who gave evidence very strongly in favour of the line, especially with reference to the position of its ter minusat Me-end, Glasgow), which he said was in the gow) immediate neighbourhood of the Exchange—the centre of business in Glasgow—and of the largest factories. There would be a coal depot at Mile-end, which was also a great advantage. There would be a considerable reduction in the price of coal in consequence of the communication with the coal districts which the line would open, Mr. COCKBURN was here about to cross-etfmine the witness, when Mr. H 1 I)Y4RD objected to his Learned"Piieiii% -appear ance, saying ,that as the proposed line, inNi3:sliik under the railway, did not touch the property of the company, the latter had no locus standi. Mr. Cocxsunx said that the private line of railway pass ing under the Garnkirk and Coatbridge line, which would be taken and lowered three feet by the company in making their line, was in part the property of the Garnkirk and Coatbridge Company ; and, moreover, the latter company, having been the promoters of a com peting sehenie in the House of Commons had a right to appear as ouch to oppose the Bill, even though their line had been thrown out by the Committee of the House of Commons. He instanced the case of the Harwich and Eastern Counties, in which case the Committee decided that the opposition on the part of a competing scheme cou!d be admitted, though the line was thrown out in the Lower House. Mr. HILD+ARD said that he believed, in the case of the Harwich and: Eastern Counties, there was a distinct allega tion in the petition that the petitioners were the promoters of a rival &theme, but there was no such allegation in this case. The ptivate line was not the property of the Garnkirk Company, arid, if it was, the very fact would put them out of court, as the pill contained no powers to take any line from them. The Comn question for rtittee, after clearing the room and discussing the fT few minutes, announced their decision, that ' e petitioners should be entertained, but that no I d be admitted as to the competing scheme. EN then proceeded with, the cross-examination i, and AltD called several other witnesses, who gave nce to that of Mr. Delmore. eer to the line, 11r. Adie, gave the usual vidence.

Mr. PAG T addressed the Committee on thiS point, insist ingE that it as cdmpetent for the Committee to go into the inquiry, inasmuch as it was the practice of the House of Lords to Eake the clauses and the preamble of the Bill together, instead of doing as, was done in the Commons, taking the !preamble first and the clauses afterwards. Here the room was cleared, but when the hour for ad journment .arrived, the Committee had not agreed, and their decision was therefore deferred till to-morrow. - HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XVII. ,--,- -- • --- IVIATTC*ESTEIe. /175173 SOUTHAMPTON AND SOUTH-WESTERN (HOM.SEY AND RED- DzaDoz BRANCH). The Committee re-assembled this morning at twelve o'clock. , The first business proceeded with was the case of the ReN Mr. Fletcher, a landowner, who opposed th e li ne on th e ground of its 4ing likely to injure his property, called L ee Park. Mr. Bickers, agent to Lord Palmerston, and occupying one of his Lordship's farms in Hampshire, stated he had known Mr. Fletcher's property for thirty years, and gave_evidence_ to the effect that the line would injure his " water meadows" on the banks of the Andover Canal, and consequently deteriorat4 his estate. In his cross-examination he stated that part of the water on the meadows was derived from a stream which ran by his ( witness's) house, and that Mr. Fleteqr had no right to the water from the canal. Mr. Sergeant WRANGLIA3I then' proceeded to address the Committee on behalf of the promoters of the Bill, and in reply to the evidence and speeches of their opponents. He commenced by alluding to the case of Mr. Fletcher, in order to show that it was one of those cases which, if injury was done, would be compensated by - the company; but with respect to the whole of the landowners cases, the cause of the promoters of the Bill was of too grave and important a nature, on account of the public interests involved, to be put in juxta4positioa with them. Those interests were too serious for him to suppose, even for a moment, that the Committee would be influenced in their decision upon the Preamble of this Bill by any of the causes which had been suggested' by his Learned Friends on the part of the different petitioners whom they represented. With respect to one case, the only one which at any time assumed the appearance of residential interference —he meant the case of Mr. Everett—he should by-and-by trouble the Committee with a very few observa tions. In the meantime he would pass from these matters of detail, and proceed to address himself, as shortly as he could at that prolonged period of their sittings, and at that advanced period of the session, to the main feature of this great measure, to which he trusted the Committee would give their sanction, and, by that sanction give, not merely a direct means of transit between the great manu facturing districts of the north and the rapidly rising port of Southampton ; but would still more benefit the community by conferring upon the local districts traversed those facilities of conveyance which up to that moment they were so sadly in want of. Before he came to deal with the general features of the mea sure, let him pause to inquire, or rather lead the Committee to ask for themselves, from whom the real and only opposi tion emanated which the promoters believed they had to encounter ? Upon what grounds did that opposition rest, and what pretext had their opponents for putting it forward? But he would not occupy the time of the Committee by dealing with the real nature of the opposition of the land owners put forward in the one interest or the other, because he looked to the great object of the measure; and he would, therefore, only ask, who were the opponents who appeared before them in the guise of landowners but the Great Western and South-Western Railway Companies? But he apprehended that two powerful railway companies never came before a Committee of either House of Parliament to oppose the passing of a measure with less chance of success, and whose ground of opposition was so utterly in contradiction of almost their every act, or the pretext upon which they rested their opposition was so utterly consistent. He took it that those companies opposed them on the principle that the introduction of competition, by constructing a railway through this district, would be likely to entrench upon the vested interests which belonged to them. Whatever phrase they might dress their opposition in, he apprehended that no one who had attended to the pro ceedings in the Committee, could doubt that that was the real and substantial reason which brought them there. His Learned Friend (Mr. Austin) put it that it would inter fere with the vested interests of the Great Western and South- Western Railways ; but he would inquire to what extent it would interfere with either of them, and whether or not on public grounds it was not fully justified? But let him for a moment beg the Committee to consider who it was that raised this cry—" Don't interfere with us—don't seek to raise competition against us— don't touch our vested interests." This language proceeded from the Great Western, every line in connexion with which they had promoted before Parliament, this session had been in distinct contradiction to the principle of non-competition. Why all the lines they had been promoting north of their own line were distinctly promoted and justified, and success fully pressed upon Parliament on the ground of establishing a competition on their part against the London and Birming ham Company. Why their opponents were those who aid not shrink from carrying a line of railway from London to Birmingham upon the ground of creating a competition with existing railway companies. Were they fit parties to come there to oppose the construction' Of a line between two points like Manchester and Southampton, because they might incidentally interfere with their traffic and compete with them for some portion of the trade which they hoped to carry ? So much for the Great Western so far as competition was concerned, the principle of which they had carried further than any other existing company, and those Bills of which the Committee had heard so much— the Worcester and Oxford, and the Rugby and Oxford— were distinctly promoted and sanctioned on the principle of competition. Mr.BROCRLEHUP.ST said the Oxford and Birmingham was prepared to be constructed on the principle of competition. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM said the lines branching north to Birmingham were urged by the Great Western oa the ground that they would establish, as between the mining districts and the metropolis, two competing lines in the hands of two competing companies. And the South- Western also were not entitled to complain of com petition, as they had carried a line from London to Exeter, in opposition to the Great Western itself. But the Manchester and Southampton was not formed on the mere principle of competition, but for the grand purpose of opening up direct communication between the great empo rium, Manchester in the north, to Southampton in the south. That being the state of parties, what was the nature of the issue in the cause ? He apprehended that the Com mittee, although they had been led into a wilder ness of investigation, were now in a condition to de cide satisfactorily to themselves whether they had judiciously selected that line, which would be of the greatest public benefit. Then his Learned Friend (Mr. Austin) cast a number of imputations on the company, and declared that it was a " bubble company," and that they were not formed for the bona fide purpose of executing a line of railway, but that they were " confederated" together for the pur pose of speculating on public credulity, and accu mulating fortunes for themselves, by issuing shares on account of a company not intended to be carried out. That was a strange imputation, and one which ought not to rest on the breath of a committee. There should have been some evidence adduced in support of these heavy charges which his Learned Friend had flung at a body of gentlemen, who did not yield in respect either to his Learned Friend or to any there. The Committee had before them, in evidence, what ought to be enough to refute these charges thus flung at random at the promoters of the line. They had the prospectus of the company, which contained a list of its provisional and managing committee. Did they find there the name of any noted knave, who was likely to seek, either by legitimate or unlawful means, to obtain some miserable bounty to himself out of the credulity of the pub lic? He found in the list of names connected with this line gentlemen who, in point of rank, station, or name, would yield to none to be found in any similar document. These remarks were not made in the heat of an address, when his Learned Friend might have been excited. Then again ther6Were allegations in petitions distinctly imputing some heavy charge to this company, ancti he asked, who could lay a petition in itself caliimnious before the Committee, and shrink from supporting these allegations with one tittle of evidence? Was this a matter which was to be left alone to the vague suggestions of counsel, however ingenious, to sustain them before a tribunal which was to try the measure these gentlemen were promoting, who were gentlemen of the purest honour and of the most unstained integrity? He was wholly unjustified in using such language towards them. What were the facts? He said the shares were 201. shares, and that this was in itself a " badge of suspicion," but the Great Western had opened 20/. shares in the Oxford and Birmingham line, so that what in that room would be called iniquity would equally apply to that line, as the money necessary for its construction was proposed to be raised by 201. shares.—(Laughter.) If this were so, they would go down to iniquity with Mr. Hill on one side and Mr. Austin on the other. The Committee were no doubt aware that shares varied from 100/. to 151. each, and that the tendency of late had been rather towards diminishing than increasing shares. The same rate of shares was adopted by the Buck ingham Company, under the patronage of the London and Birmingham. by the Eastern Counties in their extension shares from Cambridge to York; by the Norfolk Railway, by the West Riding Union Railway, by the York and North Midland, and last, though not least, the Trent Valley Rail way. He might swell the list, but he would not detain the Committee further on the subject. Mr. BROCKLEHUAST said the plan was very convenient, be cause 100/. share were divided into five shares. Mr. Sergeant Wnammam went -on to say, that his Learned Friend accused them of only seeking for 5 per cent. instead of a larger sum, which he stated was the " true test of bubbles ;" at that period the amount of deposits had not been increased to 10 per cent., but when they applied to their shareholders they acceded ; but if they had been a " bubble" company there would have been no necessity to ask for another shilling up to the present time, besides they might have passed through the Commons without calling on the shareholders for any future deposit. They had called for and received the full deposits for the passing of the Bill through Parliament, and therefore, on his own showing, they stood acquitted from the charge of being a "bubble company." Then, with respect to allowing 41. per cent. interest before the line is made on the capital paid up, which his Learned Friend said showed "consummate art"— Mr. BROCKLEHURST said this was common to all Bills las year. - Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM said it was. In one casehe found that instead of 41. one company allowed 5/. per cent., namely, the Great Western themselves, with respect to the shareholders in the Oxford and. Rugby ; but his Learned Friend did not consider that this was encouraging specula tion.—(Laughter.) But if the Great Western had sinned, the South-Western was not blameless, as the shareholders in the South-Western amendment were allowed to partici pate in the terrible practice. It was also advantageous to shareholders, because it enabled them regularly to pay up their 'calls. Then with respect to the statement made at the affirmation meeting, that the promoters would not call for more than 41. per cent, per annum, they must recollect that the shares are 201. each, and that the adoption of, this course would not detract from the public benefits which the line was intended to confer, and would enable parties to know what they would have to pay in the course of a year. This would not put them to any incon venience on account of the want of capital, because five or six months must elapse after the passing of the Bill before they could obtain possession of the land, be fore which time they would have more than a suf ticiency of capital. Then the tunnel at Cottiswold hills, 2,900 yards in length, would require three years to construct, but the line to Andover could be made in twelve months, before which time they would have 360,0001. in hand, which would not be required. By January, 1849, they would have 1,600,000/. without troubling the Midland Com pany for any portion of their 400,000/., out of which, by that lime, they would have to pay 150,0001., leaving 50,000/. sur plus. In this respect there was no blot on their escutcheon. After referring to the great public advantages which would accrue to the districts through which the line would pass, and to Manchester and Southampton, and inconsistencies in the evidence of Mr. Locke and Mr. Brunel, who each stated that they had lines "in their heads" to accommodate the district to the various lines projected, as contrasted with the opening of the Manchester and Southampton, sixty-five miles of which, as stated by Mr. Stephenson, would be a sur face line ; and in the case of Mr. Everett, whose property they could not help crossing if the line was to be made at all, alhough they were willing to deviate t o the utmost extent, or by a tunnel of 60 yards below the surface of the ground, he called the attention of the Committee to the traffic returns of twenty-three lines, the average weekly returns of which were 891., whilst they only put theirs at 42/. ; thus showing they did not anticipate more than the London and Brighton. Mr. BROCKLEHURST suggested that the Manchester and Southampton should amalgamate with the South-Western from Romsey to Southampton, and use their terminus. Mr. Sergeant WRANGTIAM considered that this would be most objectionable, and hoped the Committee would not de prive them of a separate terminus at Southampton. The Committee then adjourned until to-morrow. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE. HOUSE OF LORDS. The Earl of Shaftesbury and his colleagues re-assembled this morning at the usual hour in Room 1 (House of Lords). Lord Redesdale and the Marquis of Winchester were present. Their Lordships immediately resolved themselves into a Select Committee on Merits. There were eleven Bills on the list, but only two were en -tered into. Dr. M'Farlane's (Glasgow College) Estate Bill occupied them up to half-past five o'clock, although it had previously been part heard, and had engrossed a considerable amount of time.

Special jury causes were t ried this morning, none of which possessed any feature of public interest. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT OLD COURT. Richard Cutmore, aged 24, clerk, was indicted for stealing a parcel containing some printed books, the property of the South-Western Railway Company, his employers. Mr. Doane prosecuted, and Mr. Clarkson defended the pri soner. It appeared from the evidence that on the Ist of May, a parcel containing books was sent by a bookseller named Jones to the South-Western Railway, to be conveyed to Odi ham, and the prisoner, who was engaged as clerk in the lug gage department, was proved to have been in the office when the parcel was brought there. It never came to hand, and a few days afterwards, in consequence of some information that was received, an officer proceeded to the prisoner's lodging, when he found the parcel of books in a box belonging to the prisoner, unopened, and exactly in the state when it was sent to the railway. The prisoner, on being called upon to account for the possession of the parcel, said that he picked it up on the railway platform, and he took it home without thinking of the consequences, but intending to return the property. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to twelve months' hard labour. Thomas Connor, alias O'Connor, 36, a person of gentle manly appearance, was indicted for feloniously inter marrying with Mary Carr Burt, his wife being alive. Mr. Cooper conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prisoner. The Learned Counsel, in stating the case for the prose cution described it as being one of the most heartless descrip tion that had ever come to his notice. Evidence was then adduced, to show that on the 11th of April, 1839, the prisoner was married to Maria Twycross, at the parish church of St. Andrew, Holborn, and that he mar ried Mary Carr Burt, at Mary-le-bone Church, on the 27th Jane, 1843, at which time, it was shown, Maria Twycross, the first wife, was alive. Miss Mary Carr Burt, a very lady-like young woman, was then examined. She deposed that she knew the prisoner, and that the ceremony of marriage was performed between them in June, 1843. Before the marriage she had lived with the prisoner as his wife. When she first became acquainted with the prisoner, she was residing with a relative, and at his dead} he left her 2,6001. in money, and 4001. worth of plate andAurniture. The prisoner had the whole of this money and property. Cress-examined.—They were together about three years. They did not live in an extravagant manner. The prisoner set up in business as a furrier in London, and they had a country house and kept two'servants. Witness's sister had heard that the prisoner was a married man, and he was taxed with it, but denied that it was true. A woman who it was suspected was his wife, was introduced to her, but to show that there was no truth in the supposition, this same woman was present at her marriage with the prisoner, and gave her away. She was not of age when she first lived with the pri soner, and the marriage did not take place until she was 21, when she came into possession of her property. Mr. BALLANTLNE, on behalf of the prisoner, sail he did not think his Learned Friend was quite ju-tified in describing the present case as the most heartless that could be ima- Oned ; and although he could not deny that the conduct of the prisoner had been very bad, yet it appeared that he had continued to live with the unfortunate young lady, and that the money she was entitled to had been expended for their joint support, and there was no proof that he had improperly squandered away any portion of it. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Miss Burt was next called, and in answer to questions put to her by the Common Sergeant, she said that part of the money was invested in the business, but it turned out unsuc cessful, and the whole of the money was lost. The COMMON SERGEANT asked if none of her money was left? Miss Burt replied that there was not a single shilling remaining. The Commor SKRGEANT inquired what had become of the plate and furniture? Miss Burt replied that everything w a s gone. The furniture had been recently seized for debt due by the prisoner. The COMMON SERGEANT, in passing sentence, said that it had long been his opinion that the offence of bigamy had been too leniently dealt with. He knew of no crime that was the means of inflicting more misery upon its victims, and also upon society - at large ; and he had made up his mind to inflict the punishment of transportation in all cases where parties were convicted of it. There was nothing in the present case that could at all induce him to alter his opinion. The prisoner had obtained possession of the person of a young, innocent girl ; he had been the means of squan dering the whole of her property, and left her without a s'iilling, and in the most degraded position. Under those circumstances, he felt it to be his duty to pass upon him a sentence of transportation for seven years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A man of respectable appearance, forty-eight years of age, with a bald head, and very defective articulation, named George Merriott, alias Charles Metcalf, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Ser geant Dubois, of the Metropolitan Police Force, charged with having conspired with others to defraud Messrs. Neville, and Co., hosiers and warehousemen, of Gres ham- street West, of goods to the amount of 1341. and upwards. The justice room was excessively crowded during the investigation. The prisoner had just been brought up from Stockton, where he was apprehended on pre mises which he had recently taken, and which a trades man of that town was furnishing for him. Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner, he said, called on the 6th or 7th of May last, at the warehouse of Messrs. Neville and Jourdain, of No. 11, Gresham-street West, presented a card on which was printed George Merriott and Son, wholesale iron monger, No. 16, Trinity-lane, said that he was Mr. Merriott, and that he wished for some goods in the pro secutor's line, to send out to his son, or sons, in South Australia. As he was not himself in that way of business he requested that the firm would look out for him some articles to the amout of 100/. or 1201., and after some conversation, he gave a reference to a house in Austin friars, and stated that the goods must be ready by Tues day, the 12th of May, as the ship was to clear out on the following day, and if punctuality were not observed they could not be shipped. Application was accordingly mane to the referees, who gave the prisoner a most unexception telle character,and said they were about to execute an order for him for tea- urns and articles of that description to the amount of 801. or 100/. By a manoeuvre the prisoner contrived to' get away the goods in a cart hired by him self on the day appointed. They were not conveyed to the London Docks, but to a house in a court, and disposed of, and the referees disappeared from their place of business. It was, however, ascertained that the prisoner had gone to Stockton, and a warrant was ac cordingly granted for his apprehension. Sergeant , Dubois, N 14, of the Metropolitan Police, stated that he executed the warrant at Stockton, where the prisoner had furnished lodgings in the name of Charles Metcalf. Witness showed the warrant to him in the station-house, in which he had been previously deposited bey one of the clerks of the prosecutors, and the prisoner said the transaction was a bona fide one, that he had bought the goods in the regular course of business, and when he came to the Court he would change the face of affairs. One of the Sto c kt on p o li ce asked the prisoner, in witness's presenc e , w h e th er hi s father ever lived there, to which he replied, " Yes, thirty years ago." The policeman then asked him whether his name was Charles Metcalf, and he replied, "Yes, that's my name." The prisoner had taken a house at 1001 a year, and witness believed he had also taken another house there. Mr. Neville stated that the prisoner had obtained the goods, to the amount of 1341. odd, at his warehouse. He had received no consideration whatever for the goods, and he ascertained that the referees had absconded. The young man who had had the original communication with the prisoner was out of town The prisoner (to Mr. Neville)—Are you not aware that the goods were sold at three months credit ? Wit ness—No. The prisoner—l have an invoice to show that they were sold to me at three months credit. The LORD MAYOR (to the prisoner)—Were they sold to you to go to Australia? _ The prisoner —Yes, and they were sent there. Mr. Neville—They were taken to Oxford-court, and never shipped for Australia. The prisoner —I admit that they were taken to Oxford court, but next day they were shipped. I shipped them myself. • • The LORD MAyon—What ship did they go by? The prisoner—By the Bennet. The LORD MAYOR—Who is the owner? The pri soner (after some consideration)—That I do not know. The LORD MAYOR—To whom were they consigned? The prisoner—To my sons living in South Australia. The LORD MAYOR—In what part of South Australia? The prisoner said he could not recollect. The LORD MAYOR—Let me see the invoice. The prisoner—My attorney has it. I believe I put it into his hands with some other papers. The shopman of a hat manufacturer of the name of Wilson here came forward, and stated that four days after the transaction at Messrs. Neville and Co.'s the prisoner obtained hats to the amount of 1121., and sent his own cart for them. The prisoner —Are you' not aware that they aro got upon credit? Witness—l am not. The name was Marriott, 16, Trinity -lane. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Joseph Stott, a man of respectable a charged with ha v i ng conducted himself in an indecent way towards a lad nam e d G eorge Webb. a ppearance, was The complainant said he lives in the Seven Dials, and is a 'labourer. He was in Hyde-park about 11 o'clock on Saturday night, when he was accosted by the defendant, who acted indecently towards him. The defendant left him, and got over the park railings into the road. Complainant comfol lowed him into a public-house, and after partak in g of some beer with him th e y l eft the public-house toge ther, and on meeting with a poli ce - constable de fendant into custody. The defendant s a id h e was entirely innocen t of the scan dalous charge, which h a d b een trumped up complainant gave the aga inst him with a view to extort money. He had only been a week in Lon don, having come up from Oldham to obtain medical advice for, a painful complaint under which he laboured. On Saturday evening he took a walk in Hyde-park, and having lost his way, he went up to the complainant to ask him to tell him when the park gate would be shut. He was imme diately surrounded and collared by four or five young men, who demanded his money on a threat of charging him with infamous practices. He g o t away f rom t h e gan g, and went into a public-house and called for some beer. The com plainant came into the house, laid hold of the pot, and drank about half the contents. He left the house, followed by the complainant, and 'when he got into the street he saw three of the e,omplainatit's companions in the park standing in the street, and apparentl y watching his movemen ts. De fendant was about to obt a i n the aid of the pol i ce, b u t he was anticipated in this by-th e complainant, charging scribed. him as de- Mr. MALTBY directed a police-constable to make in quires into the character o f th e defendant at hi s l o dgings. The police-constable, o n hi s return, repor t e d that the defendant's statement, as far as it could be corroborated, was correct. He had only b een a wee k i n town , and stated to his landlord the purpose for which he . had left o:dham. Mr. MALTBY was informed that a respectable person had on Saturday been robbed of 4s. by a gang of persons resem- bling those described by the defendant as having been in company with the complainant. The gang had made use of similar threats to obtain this money from the person in question. Mr. MALTBY, after mature deliberation, said, as the com plainant's statement was wholly unconfirmed, and as there were circumstances which created a reasonable doubt in his mind, he would discharge the defendant, leaving it open to the complainant to prefer an indictment if he thought fit. The defendant, on being liberated, declared his determina tion to proceed against the complainant for endeavouring to extort money from him. The complainant was accordingly given into custody, and the parties changed places. The prosecutor Stott related the circumstance of his ap plying to the prisoner Webb to show him the way out of the park; that Webb immediately gave a whistle, and five men came up, one of whom collared him, and they all demanded money. Prosecutor refused, and having a stick in his hand, he said he would use it if they did not let him go. He was released, and he then got out of the park, and went towards his lodgings in Blandford-street, followed by the prisoner. He went into a public-house, and called for some beer. The prisoner came in and drank some. Prosecutor went out of the public-house, followed by the prisoner, who whistled to his companions as soon as he got into the street. Prosecutor was about to enter his lodgings, when a police-constable came up, and took him into custody. A witness named Smith said he knew the prisoner by his nickname of "Number One." The prisoner was in the park on Saturday, and about four o'clock he got into conversation with an elderly gentleman. After talking together about five minutes, " Number One" made a signal to his com panion "Bricky," who ran up, and demanded the old gen tleman's " money." The old gentleman gave "Bricky" 4s. The prisoner and three others divided the money. The prisoner had also admitted to witness that he would not have given the complainant into custody had he given him money. Remanded till Monday next. WORSHIP-STREET. Two Germans, named Jun Brunies and Heinrich Mohr, were placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with cutting and wounding a master skindresser, named Heinrich Arnott, living at NVhitechapel, and inflicting numerous wounds on his head. It appeared from the evidence, that a feud had for some months past subsisted between twoloarties of High and Low Dutch German skindressers and sugarbakers, living in White chapel and Spitalfields, and, notwithstanding the prover bially peaceful character of that nation, seemed to have been pursued among them with as much heat and animosity as any between neighbouring Irish provinces. On Saturday night, about 12 o'clock, a serious disturbance, but how originating was not by any means lucidly explained by any of the numerous spluttering and excited witnesses, though all earnestly endeavoured to do do so, suddenly arose about some children of a German woman named Wahl between the two prisoners, one Konrad Schwartz, and some workmen in Mr. Arnott's 'employment, and some threats having been uttered against the life of the prose cutor, who had not at all interfered or been even present, but was quietly paying his men at a public-house in an adjoining street, he, although apprised that he would be murdered if he did go, with more courage than discretion instantly went to the scene of disorder, called Frosty-court, to protect his men, and get them out of the quarrel. The moment he had entered the court, however, and before he had time to utter a word, he was brought to the ground by a blow on the head from some one behind him, and upon rising was immediately set upon by the prisoners and Konrad Schwartz, who beat him severely, and one of them, who had a knife in his hand, stabbed him with it a number of times in the head, leaving six wounds, Which he now exhibited ; but who it was that inflicted the injuries he could not tell with any certainty, as the blood was pouring down his face and prevented his seeing; but he thought it was Mohr, as he had been most active in the attack, and he also inferred it was he from a knife being found in his pocket a the station. How he ulti mately escaped from the encounter it was impossible to make out; but the police somehow got apprised of the disturbance, and on coming up found Arnott and one of his men covered with blood, and the prisoners being pointed out as the most violent were forthwith secured, and after some resistance car ried off to the station. Engelbrecht Geffkie, the workman just alluded to, a stolid immovable German, whose utter apathy when there was something to be excited about, and vehement warmth when there was nothing, kept every one but the magistrate, not withstanding the serious nature of the charge, in incessant laughter, very quaintly related the share he had in the transaction ; and the substance of his statement was, that he and his wife were going home with a can full of porter, when a breathless boy stopped him and entreated he would go back as his master was being murdered, and was smothered with blood. "Ferry well," said the witness; "but I shall ko home mid dis pier, and den I shall kom see into it ;" and home he actually went. He displayed some alacrity, how ever, in getting back, and on entering the court found four men, of whom he could only identify Mohr, " hammering" his master on the head. With some difficulty he rescued Mr. Arnott from his assailants, in neither of whose hands did I h e notice a knife ; but he felt convinced that one had been used, as Arnott was bleeding profusely, and while turn ing to leave he himself received a stab in the neck from some body, to which he drew the magistrate's attention; but, with his habitual coolness, although the wound did not ap pear a very slight one, it had not struck him to apply to a surgeon to dress it. Jane Jagers, Jacob Jung, and police-constable 182 K, all deposed to the serious nature of the fight or rather melee, in which more than 100 people took part on one side or the other, but though each of the witnesses saw both the pro secutor and Geffkie:with the blood streaming down from their wounds, they were all incapable of throwing any light upon the origin of the affray. The prisoners, through a very intelligent interpreter, generally denied all that was said against them, and endea voured to prove that it was they who had most cause of com plaint, as they had been struck and maltreated in the first instance, and called two Germans, named Konrad Deer and Martin Greigh, and a Belgian, named Jorge Peinter, as wit nesses, who certainly nearly deposed to that much, entirely exculpating Brunies, who was ordered on their evidence to be discharged, and gave it as their opinion that Mohr had not been so criminal as represented, though they could not say who it was that had stabbed the prosecutor and Geffkie, if he had not. Mr. BROUGHTON never recollected a case in which there was so much confusion and difficulty at arriving at the truth. It was quite manifest that the two witnesses had been severely - injured, but it was still a matter of doubt who had caused their wounds, and he should therefore adjourn the case till that day week, accepting responsible bail for the prisoner Mohr's attendance at the next examination ; and in the meantime the police must exert themselves to procure more positive evidence as to who it was in reality who had stabbed the prosecutor in the manner described. The bail was immediately found, and Mohr, who was very respectably dressed, was accordingly liberated. THAMES. A wretched-looking woman,' named Diana Selby, aged 48 years, was brought before Mr. Broderip, charged with at tempting to commit suicide. ' It appeared from the evidence, that on Sunday afternoon a young man named James Francis, of No. 3, Kirk-row, Limehouse, whose dwelling fronts the Regent's Canal, heard cries of help, and was informed that - a woman had just thrown herself into the water. He' rushed down §tairs im mediately, and, without divesting himself of his apparel, boldly plunged into the stream. The woman had disap peared, and he dived after her and brought her up. She made a convulsive grasp at his neck, and he was compelled to make her let go her hold, and she sunk beneath the water again, until he partially recovered himself, and re• moved his neckcloth, when he again went down after her, and soon rose with her in his arms.. With great difficulty the young man succeeded in bringing her on shore, and she was immediately conveyed to the Edinburgh Castle Tavern and Tea-gardens, and while the people belonging to the house were stripping her of her wet clothe., others went after a medical gentleman. One soon arrived in the person of Mr. Willis, a surgeon, and although there were no signs of life when he first saw the woman, he persevered for two hours in applying the remedies necessary in such cases, in which he was ably seconded by Francis and others, and by their united exertions the woman was restored. A police constable named Earie, 355 K, procured some dry clothing for the poor creature, and caused her to be removed to the o s m t f a a tnni ascertainedns e - r l y i o i a ls n e d , at h nh e ta r , e t t r th h ha e et w swh a o s e m w wa e an l s l l s o oe hadpkaesr d au tff a ee f dr t ee from r . ot mh T e h eh e xe p tr r o e ! mic hus band,ees- and that she had not tasted food for 24 hours, and had no means of procuring a meal, when she made the attempt to terminate her miseries and life together. The prisoner, in her defence, said that distress urged her to attempt 'self-destruction. She was separated from her husband, who allowed her, through the relieving officer of Limehouse, 3s. per week. She generally received this small sum every Saturday, but on calling for it on Saturday last, she was informed her husband had not left her the money. She then asked for some relief, which was denied her, and she wandered about the streets till Sunday evening, when she became completely wearied out and jumped into the canal. Mr. BRODIRIP said if the statement of the woman was correct she was an object of commiseration, but he hoped she heartily and sincerely repented of the rash and wicked attempt on her life. _ The prisoner said she was very sorry for what she had done, and promised not to repeat the offence. Mr. BRODEMP, after admonishing the prisoner in a very impressive manner, said she owed her life to the courage and skill of the young man Francis, and he was very sorry he had it not in his power to reward him according to his de serts, but on applying at the clerk's office he would receive compensation for his loss of time. He directed the police man to accompany the woman to the relieving officer of Limehouse, who was bound to look to her, and if her husband refused to maintain her, he must be proceeded against accord ing to law. The poor woman was subsequently admitted into the union house. She is the fourth person rescued from drown ing by the young man Francis 'oLLISION AT SEA.—A melancholy accident occurred n the bay Outside of Falmouth harbour, on Tuesday after noon last. The pilot boat Harriet, Vincent master, was cruisinc , about speaking to various vessels, and was standing towards land on her way to harbour. A Belgian brigantine, called the Hortense, bound to Liverpool, was on the other tack. The pilot-boat, finding they could not weather the brigantine, put her helm down and eased off her head sheets, thinking to drop to leeward. The captain of the brigan tine, however, instead of putting his helm down, as was attempted by one of his crew, ran abaft, put it hard up, and ran right aboard of the pilot boat, striking her amidships, and sunk her immediately. The crew had scarcely time to get on board the brigantine, by climbing over her bows, but were refused the assistance of a rope ; and when on board, the Belgian would not even get out his boat to put them on board of a trawler close by. They were eventually taken out by the Prince Albert trawler, and landed at Falmouth. The pilot boat belonged to three brothers and a widowed mother, and had only been recently purchased, the cost of which, and her outfit for the employ • ment, absorbed all their hard savings for many years. — West Briton. =PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY. —The Committee of Management of this Society, which was founded in the year 1837, for the p urpose o f affording relief to aged and infirm printers and their widows, by the granting of pensions, having obtained the patronage of the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Northumberland, and the principal influential local families, have announced their intention, with a view to augment the funds of the Society, of giving a grand rural rite, which will take place on Monday next, the 13th, in the grounds of the White Hart Inn, at Bromley; on which occasion a grand flower show will be held, in addition to a variety of amusements and entertainments, consisting of equestrian performances, under the direction of Mr. Batty, rustic amusements, a concert, and display of fireworks. Since the formation of the Society in 1837, upwards of 130 persons have received permanent relief in pensions, upwards of 50 of whom are at the present time recipients of the true benefits conferred upon the aged and infirm printer by this Society. Docs.—We believe it to be true that not one-half of the dogs which are kept by working classes are paid for. And it is a notorious fact, that nearly, if not entirely, one half of those persons (though their dog-mania must be in dulged) have enough to do, not to live, but exist. This " surpulus" quantity of dogs produces, in a great measure, hydrophobia. Taxes-officers ought to look strictly after all who keep dogs: - • --- MURDER NEAR NOTTINGHAM. Norriscrram, MONDAY.—A report reached this town on Sunday evening that a man had b een f oun d a f ew hours before murdered in Popplewick forest, distant eight miles from the town of Nottingham. On inquiry at the village, which is situate in a north-westerly direction, and adjoins the ancient forest of Sherwood, it was found that information had been given to the coroner that a body had been found, and that he had directed a jury to be summoned immediately. On looking at the body, which lay in a stable, little doubt existed in the minds of all who saw it that a murder had been committed. On the left cheek was a large gash, nearly two inches in length and of considerable depth, from which a quantity of blood had flowed, and filled the nostrils and mouth and under the right ear; at the seat of the jugular vein was a large incised wound, covered with blood. On the right and left shoulder and breast were several severe bruises, and some scratches ; but the latter may have been made by an animal while the body lay upon the ground. Popplewick is a very small village, and a diffi culty arose in viewing the body, as there is no surgeon resident nearer than Bulwell, five miles distant. The corpse was that of William Robinson, aged 34 years, a carrier in the employ of Mrs. Smith, of Mansfield ; but how he came by his death is at present involved in mystery. On Saturday last Robinson set out as usual in the morning from Mansfield to Nottingham, with his waggon and three horses, and in the evening he left the Shakspere public-house in the latter town, to return with his l oa d o f goo d s, i n company with an agricultural labourer, Henry Shepherd, of Calverton. They set out from Nottingham at half-past six o'clock, and, according to Shepherd's account, they went on the road to the White Hart, at Redhill, four miles from Nottingham, where they stopped to have a pint of ale. Having drunk this, they drove as far as the seventh milestone on the Mans field road, where they both got out of the waggon ; it was then about half-past eight o'clock, and quite light. At this place Robinson set his dog at liberty, and, carrying his jacket on his arm, lingered behind, saying he would put it on. Shepherd drove the horses, and proceeded. When he had got about a mile, not seeing Robinson, he stopped the waggon, and shouted for him, and waited half an hour; he then drove on to the Hut, frequently looking behind him and shouting. On arriving at the Hut he had a pint of ale, and told the people he expected the carrier ; after waiting an hour, the landlord, Mr. Mealey, advised him to go on to Mansfield, which he did, and arrived there between two and three o'clock in the morning. He told Mrs. Smith that he had left her servant behind him, and then went and told Mrs. Robinson. Samuel- Townrow, a neigh bour to the carrier, was called up directly a ft erwar d s, an d requested by Mrs:Robinson to go and seek for her husband. At five o'clock William Dove, framework-knitter, of Arnold, and his two brothers were walking on the high road from that village to Mansfield, and near the seventh milestone they found a jacket and a whip, which they took up, and not seeing anybody about, they carried them away. As soon as they got into the forest, it seems they turned on to the foot path, which leaves the high road, and proceeded to the Hut, near which place they met Townrow, and in reply to his questions told him they had not seen anybody, but had found a waistcoat and a whip; on showing the articles they were -recognised as belonging to Robinson. Townrow then pro ceeded on the road, and 200 or 300 yards off, before he reached the eighth milestone from Nottingham, he saw Ro binson's dog. The animal barked, growled, and ran as if he wished to prevent Townrow going forward ; after a good deal of caressing, the dog permitted him to go on, and he very soon saw Robinson stretch e d on hi s b ac k upon t h e road, with his face covered with blood, and quite dead. He lay about two yards from the centre of the road, and appeared to have been dragged two or three yards. A pool of blood, from his head, lay near him, and another pool about a yard distant. The left hand of the deceased was covered with blood, and his shirt-sleeves, which were turned up, were both besmeared with blood, particularly the right sleeve. Information was quickly conveyed to Popplewick, which is about a mile from the fatal spot, and a constable pro ceeded to convey the body to his house, where the jury were empanelled at half-past six in the evening. Robinson had 19s. in silver and 3d. in copper found in his pockets, and some memorandums; but whether he ought to have had more money about him is not yet known, and from the cir cumstance of his dog having kept the man at bay for a con siderable length of time, it is impossible to say whether dur ing the conflict the dog was not a very troublesome assailant on behalf of his master. Shepherd was brought before the coroner, and told his tale. On taking off his jacket two or three spots of blood were found inside upon the lining, and his shirt was very dirty on the right, sleeve and shoulder, and on the wristband there was a little blood. He accounted for these marks by stating, that they were made while fight ing with a servant-man on the preceding Thursday. It ap pears that for twenty-five years Shepherd has borne a good character, and left his situation on th e d ay h e f ought. His master, Mr. Houghton, of Nuttall, paid him 3/. 155., the balance of his wages. The manner in which Shepherd made his statement, and the circumstance of his being lame, and a much smaller man than Robinson, gave an impression much in his favour. After 10 o'clock a person came into the room, and stated to the coroner that a woman residing at Colonel Coape's, which is within sight of the place where Robinson was found, had just sent word that at the very hour which Shepherd bad described as the time he left Robinson, she saw three men in the forest scuffling together. The lateness of the hour, and Colonel Coape's house being nearly a mile and a half distant, prevented a messenger being dispatched for her at that time, but directions were given for her to be summoned for the next day. The circumstances being al together involved in mystery, and of so serious a character, the inquest was adjourned to this day (Monday), at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. A post mortem examination of the body will in the meantime take place, and a rigid inquiry will be instituted. • THE LATE MURDER OF THE POLICE-CONSTABLE. DAGENHAM, MONDAY EVENiNG.—The painful interest manifested in the fate of the unfortunate victim of the hor rible and atrocious murder, the main particulars connected with which appeared in The Sun of yesterday, had, during Sunday and throughout the whole of yesterday, considerably increased, and a large number of the inhabitants from Rom ford, Ilford, Barking, Chigwell, Hornchurch, and the sur rounding villages, visited Dagenham for the purpose of view ing the scene of the assassination. Immediately after the conclusion of the inquest on the body of the unfortunate man Clarke, on Saturday evening, an active search was instituted by the police in the corn field belonging to Mr. Collier, where the murder was per petrated, for the purpose of ascertaining what had become of his hat, which up to that period had not been discovered. In consequence of this circumstance, it was generally sup posed that the deceased must in the first instance have been assaulted, and then followed his assailants to the field where he was found murdered. Although the spot and the adjoin ing fields were minutely searched, it was not until Sunday evening that the hat was discovered. It was then found by a labouring man, named Thomas Palmer, lying amongst the wheat, about twelve or fourteen yards from the spot where the body had lain. At this particular part of the field the wheat had not been at all disturbed or trampled upon, show ing, in the first place, the ruffians must either have knocked the deceased's hat off with so powerful a blow as to have sent it such a distance, or that that they must have thrown it there. The former supposition is strengthened by the circumstance of the hat not being injured in the slightest de gree, and and also that, when found, the deceased's handker chief was in it. On the receipt of intelligence of the outrage at Scotland yard, two of the most active officers of the detective police force were sent down to Dagenham, and, after viewing the place where :the murder had occurred, and making them selves thoroughly masters of all the circumstances which had up to that period transpired in connexion with it, they proceeded with some of the local constables to visit Romford and the surrounding villages in search of the suspected mur derers. During Saturday evening the various public-houses and beer-shops were visited by the police in plain clothes, and their occupants subjected to a scrutinising inspection, it being believed that in the desperate struggle which had ap parently taken place, some of those engaged in it must have been wounded. Although the topic of conversation in nearly every instance was the circumstance of the murder, and what had been done at the inquest that day, still nothing transpired which actually tended to fix suspicion on any one beyond the person alluded to in this journal of yesterday. The search was continued throughout Sunday and yester day, and although up to the period of writing this no one had been apprehended on the charge, still several notorious characters living in this part of the county of Essex were under the strict surveillance of the police. With reference to the causes which had induced the mur der, it is the' opinion of every one residing near the spot, and of the police themselves, that the deceased was mistaken for Police-constable Butfoy, K 140, who was his predecessor on the same beat, or Sergeant, Parsons, who has rendered him self obnoxibus to some of the notorious characters in the neighbourhood by bringing them up frequently before the Ilford bench' of magistrates for drunken and disorderly con duct. A short time since one of the gang suspected of having been engaged in the murder was brought up to Ilford, charged by Parsons with having stolen a quantity of hemlock, but the prosecutor not appearing, he was on that ground discharged. He was then charged with having a quantity of brass and metal in his possession without being able to account for it. The magistrates in consequence of there being some pewter pots belonging to publicans in the neighbourhood amongst the metal, inflicted a small fine, and advised the accused to be more careful for the future. On the morning of the murder a woman named Page, who was present at the inquest on Saturday, but was not examined, residing in a cottage a short distance from where it took place, states that about three o'clock she was awoke by the violent barking of her dogs in the yard, and on lis tening to it •she heard a cry for help ; but the continual bark ing of the dogs prevented her from hearing anything more distinctly. Whilst the constables were busy in reference to the murder on Saturdaayn,otihnefor constable,rmation of thereceivedas same by div t i h s e ion r m i n n a cip ed al officer of George Hall, aged 20, belonging to the Ilford station, having been killed. The unfortunate man in this instance, who had only been four months married, had been on duty all day on Friday at Fairlop Fair, and at two o'clock on Saturday morning was returning on horseback from it, when his horse shied, and threw him on his head. He was assisted by a brother constable, named Corbyn, No. 100 K, who had been on duty with him, to Barking side, whence he was removed to his residence at Ilford. Mr. Allison, a surgeon attended him, and found a dreadful fracture on the left side of the head, under the ear. He continued to attend him until half past twelve o'clock on the same day, when he died. An in quest was held yesterday by Mr. C. C. Levis, the coroner, at the Rose and Crown, Ilford, on the body, and a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned. The deceased had been on duty from eleven o'clock on the Friday morning, and was supposed to be asleep when his horse shied. Up to the time at which our reporter left Dagenham last evening, the murderers had not been apprehended; and it is understood that an immediate application will be made to Government to offer a reward for their apprehension. MURDER AT KINETON, WAR WICKSIIIRE. 1 LEAMINGTON, MONDAY EVENING. -- Another murder, which at present is involved in as much mystery as that which occurred at Berkswell, in this county, some months ago, is just reported here, as having been committed close to Kineton, a , market town lying between Banbury and Strat ford-upon-Avon. The occurrence has caused the greatest consternation in the town and neighbourhood, where the deceased (William Chater) was well known, being a blacksmith and machine maker, aged 53, residing at Cornbrooke, near Kineton, with a decrepid mother of above 80 years, who had been confined to her bed for the past ten years. An inquest upon the body was taken before Mr. George C. Greenway, coroner, this day, at the Swan Inn, Kineton, when we gathered the subjoined particulars : Samuel Adkins, landlord of the Pose and Crown, Kineton, said—On Tuesday, the 30th of June, there was an Odd Fellows' feast held at my house; some of the members were there on the following day. The deceased, William Chater, came about half-past twelve o'clock on the Wednesday, and stayed half m hour, during which time he had some bread and cheese.‘"fie then left, and returned about six o'clock in the evening, when ho joined the company in the club-room, who were drinking ale and porter. About nine o'clock he went into the yard, and remained there about half an hour, . and then left the house rather in liquor, but walking pretty well. He went out by the back way, and no one was with him. I saw him off the premises. There were seven or eight people in the lodge-room when he left, and lodgers in (lit ferent parts of the house. I did not see any money in Ys possession whilst he was at the house. lie complained of being short of money, but witness, though he knew he had paid for what he had, did not see him with any money, and never saw him again alive. His body was brought in be tween three and four o'clock the next morning. Witness's house was clear of all company, except the lodgers, at ten o'clock. Thomas Furnell, a groom to Mr. Brown, surgeon, of Kine ton, deposed to having seen the deceased on the Wednesday evening alluded to standing against Mr. Winter's shop, vomiting, and to all appearance intoxicated. Witness ad•• vised him to go into the Swan and sit down, but witness re plied that he would go home. Martin Wisdom, the younger, said—l am a carrier, liv ing at Kioeton. I knew the deceased. I saw him in the Odd Fellows' club-room at the Rose and Crown, on Wednesday afternoon. I saw him there from three to five o'clock. He was quite sober, but I believe he was drinking. There were five or six persons in the room. I left a little before six. I left the deceased there. I was in the town half-an-hour afterwards, and stayed until nine o'clock. 1 went home to bed. I got up at eleven to go with a horse to meet my father at the bottom of Friz-hill, near Wellesbourne. As I went up Pittern.hill I heard groaning, and saw some one lying under the hedge. I spoke two or three times and got no answer. I got on the horse and looked in the person's face. I saw it was Chater. I thought he was "fresh," and that I would let him alone, I did not observe any wound or injury to his face. It was rather dark, but light enough to see it was deceased, and 1 knew him by his dress, having seen him in the afternoon. I went on till I met the part on this side of Wellesbourne turnpike-gate. I waited for the cart about 300 yards from the gate. I waited half an hour. As we were coming home, which must have been about two o'clock, I told my father I had seen deceased lying on the road quite " fresh." When we came to Pittern-hill we found him where I had left him ; he lay upon his left side, with his head towards the hedge. My father placed him against the bank. He was quite speechless ; he was much injured about the head. The blood ran out of his mouth, and there was a rattling in the throat. We took the load home, as we had no room for the deceased, and called up Mr. Brown, a surgeon, and the constable, and then took back the empty cart, and brought deceased to the Rose and Crown. He was then alive, but insensible. John Mayor Brown sworn—l am a surgeon at Kineton. I was called up to the deceased by last witness, on Thursday morning, about half-past 2 o'clock. I proceeded imme diately to the spot, Wisdom following with his cart ; I found Chater lying by the road-side ;I at first thought that he was intoxicated, he was'in a complete state of stupor, cold, and insensible. I had him placed in Wisdom's cart, and conveyed to the Rose and Crown. On examining him, I found a wound on his forehead, the right eye was black and swollen, there was a great contusion on the right side of his head. I gave him brandy, bled him, put him to bed, and staid with him several hours. He did not get warm. I saw him several times on Thursday. He never recovered from his state of insensibility, and died about 8 o'clock on Friday morning. I made a postmortem examination, and found the parts much contused, and a severe fracture of the skull. On the right side there was a depression of the skull on the brain, 8i inches by 2i, the fractured portion of bone being forced on the brain ; the back part of the temporal bone was broken, and the fracture extended round the head, from one ear to the other. [Several portions of the skull which had been forced on the brain were produced by the surgeon to the jury.] The cause of death was fracture of the skull, which could not arise from a drunken man on foot falling on his head. I consider the fracture and injury arose from a blow given with violence by some blunt instrument. The dirt from the fall was on the left side, the injury on his right; the right lappet of his coat was torn. The deceased, lam fully of opinion, could not have inflicted the injuries himself. The verdict of the jury was " Wilf u l mur d er aga i ns t some person or persons unknown." The hat and coat of the deceased were produced by the constable; the left side of the coat was dirty, as if from a fall: only a few pence were found in his pocket, and an empty purse; also some soap which he had purchased at Kineton, where he had been s p en di ng th e a f ternoon. H e had in his possession a packet of coffee, which was strewed on the ground near to where he was found, evidently as if a struggle had taken place. His walking-stick was lying broken in the road. The magistrates of the neighbourhood, Mr. E. B. King, Colonel Miller, Rev. C. Palmer, &c., have been indefatigable in their exertions to trace the murderer, whose object does not appear to have been plunder, but bloodshed. The de • ceased was of • a quarrelsome, disposition, often engaged in disputes with his workmen, &c., before the justices of the locality; and some of the persons with whom he has been thus engaged have been known to threaten him.
