Room A. CALEDONIAN (MID-LOTHIAN lIILA.NCHES). (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Mr. AUSTIN opened the case for the promoters of the Bill, and having shortly stated the facts of the case, proceeded to call • Mr. Gibson, who gave general evidence in favour of the line. Mr. Collister, resident engineer of the Caledonian Railway, save evidence on engineering points. The present scheme Inclndies three branches, namely, a branch from the Cale **tan line, near North Merchiston, to the pier at Granton tne property of the Duke of Buecleuch); a branch from the edonum at Goigie Mains to the Edinburgh and Glasgow, at its station at Edinburgh ; a branch from the Caledonian, at North Merchiston, to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal, at a point about 250 yards from its commence ment. The total estimate is 110,0001., and we understood Mr. Collister to say that the total length W4S ei‘Aty-four miles. Mr. George Smith, land-valuer, give evidence as to the aufficiency of the land estimates, which had been prepared by himself. Other witnesses were then called, and gave evidence as to the advantages derivable from the making of the line. Some other witnesses were then called, whose evidence occupied the Committee up to four o'clock, at which hour they rose, and adjourned tag to-morrow at eleven o'clock. Room B. CAIiraDONIAN (GLASGOW TERMINI AND __ _ _ -- - - 11714.A.NCRES) • (Continued from Our Afternoon Edition.) On the conclusion of Mr. Hope's speech, Lord Eglinton aas called, and examined by Mr. FoRSYTH. Lordship gave general evidence in favour of the line. Cross-examined by Mr. ANDsEWs, who appeared fo r th e Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company, and a h ost of other petitioners. The Bill was also opposed by other persons, for whom Mr. Bildyard, Mr. Calvert, Mr. Denison, and other counsel ap peared. Mr. Errington gave engineering evidence on the part of the promoters, and Having heard further evidence in favour of the line, their Lordships rose shortly before five o'clock, and adjourned till to-morrow, when probably the case for the promoters will be completed, and that or the several petitioners commenced. GROUP C. YORICSIIIRE AND GLASGOW UNION. The Committee, comprising the Earl of Devon (in the chair), the Dukeof Montrose, Earl Morton, Lord Clanwilliam, and the Marquis of Abercorn, assembled this morning. The object of the 13111 before the Committe is to unite the Great North of England Railway with the City of Glasgow, by means of a junction !isle which leads from the terminus of the Leeds and Thirsk Railway, at that place, to a union with the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway at Clifton, a little below Penrith. Lord Beaumont was called to show the general utility of the line, on a portion of which he himself holds considerable property, not far from Bedale. He spoke to the value and extent of the mineral beds lying under the district. Mr. Bolton, the engineer, described the general course of the line, which is intended to pass by Bedale, Leyburn, Kirkby Stephen, near Appleby, by Clifton, at which place it would get on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway. Mr. Wordsworth appeared fir a gentleman of the name of B er e s f o rd, who is tenant in remainder of an estate on the line. On re-examination, the witness stated that there were 13 w il es w ith a gradient of one in a hundred, and thq gradietits in every Vepest were better than those in the Caledonian Railway. ( A\ Mr.Culgtt, the Government engineer, stated that be was the consulting engineer of the line; that he was well tic ' tuaintad -With the country, and had gone over it with , An last witne9s. The .country is certainly difficult, and he thought, the hue as devised by Mr. Bohn to be Very • skilfully laid out. He conceived that the estimates were sufficient for the works, and the works light for the country. Mr. John Tattershall, an agent for six mines in Yorkshire, stated that the company for which he acted takes the mine rals in Lord Beaumont's estate, which is situated in Wens leydale. From these mines large quantities of calomine, or carbonate of zinc, are drawn—this mineral produces the zinc of commerce. Barytes also of a very pure quality is found, so pure as to produce 96i per cent. Large quantities of sulphuret of zinc are also obtained, and consi derable masses of it are now lying on the tramroad waiting for carriage. There is also a large bed of ironstone which crops out to the surface, and is of so pure a quality as to produce 38 per cent. of iron ; indeed there is a bed 22 inches thick of nearly pure ore. There is also a considerable bed of ironstone on Lord Thanet's estate, which is situate in the Neighbourhood. The iron produced from this ore is better than the boiling iron, which is esteemed the best in the district. There are also pits for common flagstone, which at present areindif firmtly worked from the want of the means of transit, alt iough it is of such excellent quality as to be dug in slabs of more than twenty feet square, and of such tenacity as to bear its own weight. There are also con sidJrable seam& of coal, particularly adapted to the am eting of iron, and the reduction of lime. In searching for thi, coal considerable quantities of iron pyrites have been discovered, which are largely used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid, the extent of the consumption of which, ac cording to Professor Liebig, constitutes the criterion of the civilization of a people. Mr. WORDSWORTH was about to cross examine, when the Noble Chairman inquired the precise status of the Learned Counsel in the case, when it was explained that although in their own merits the cases of the landowners are weak, yet from the passing of the North-Western Railway Bill they were made strong, and ought to be entertained. The Committee ultimately decided that the attendance of counsel was unnecessary, promising themselves to watch the case. Witnesses were then called to show the value of Wensley dale lime for agricultural purposes. Mr. Solid, chief clerk to Messrs. Gee and Co., shipowners at Hull, who draw large quantities of goods from the west of Scotland, stated that they now cost for carriage from Glas gow to Hull, 2/. 7s. 10d. a ton, partly by rail and partly by water. By the Caledonian and other railways, the expense would be 445. 2d., leaving a clear saving of 3s. Bd. a ton, besides the saving of time. From Carlisle to Hull by the present road they cost 375. 6d. a ton, and by the new route it would only be 275. 3d. making a saving of something more than ten shillings a ton on light goods, the difference being occasioned by the goods being sent in the first instance to Carlisle, and thence to Newcastle, whence they were carried by steam to Hull. To Earl Moirrox the witness replied that he had made no comparison of the respective expenses of carriage by the several lines of railway. Other witnesses were called, to confirm the testimony pre viously given, when the traffic tables were preferred, but they were declined as unnecessary. This closed that case. YORK AND CARLISLE. The Committee then took the line named above, and Mr. ATKI NSON called Mr. Gaskill, the managing partner of the Kendal and Preston Coal Company, who stated that the price of coals has of late years been raised in Kendall from the difficulty of obtaining them. The proposed line is a branch of the line put before the Committee, and the belief of the witness was that this line would be very useful in attaining so desirable an object. Mr. Muscamp, a coalowner, of the county of Durham, stated that he had examined the line geologically and had found immense deposits of ironstone, lime, and coals, all being of excellert quality. The proposed line would open the several portions of this district in an excellent manner, and he could speak positively as to the general concurrence of the merchants and manufacturers of South Durham and the neighbouring district in the proposed line. Mr. Macnamarra, a banker and carpet manufacturer, in Barnard's Castle, confirmed the previous evidence. Mr. Robinson, of Brough, under Staines Moor, stated that for ten years he had been employed in the management of the Staines Mining Company, whose property consists chiefly of dead mines, and that the line would be in the extreme useful to the community of the district. The Noble CHAIRMAN having intimated that the Commit tee conceived that the promoters had made out a fair case, and that no other witnesses need be called, The Counsel stated that the population at both of the termini is 629,524, and that the gross revenue expected is 159,591/, y!elding a profit of 7 per cent. Mr. Harris, the assistant-engineer, stated that the gradients for the country v. ere easier than those of many other lines in the neighbourhood. The whole cost was estimated at 1,301,463/. The earthworks were estimated at 60/. a yard, while some had been taken on other lines at 42% a yard. The Committee professed themselves satisfied with the evidence, and the Chairman declared the Bill to be proved, and the report, with a tew verbal amendments in the clauses, was ordered to be brought. Both these lines are, of course, carried. BLACILDUR,N, CLITDEROE, AND NORTH '-3 , WESTERN JUNCTION. Mr. Woßnswoßnt opened the case on behalf of the pro moters, by stating that this was an extension of the Black burn and Darwen Railway. It was, to a certain extent, a competitor of the Fleetwood and Clithere Company, and of the East Lancashire Company. T: , e scheme of the last Company was rejected in the House of Commons ; the scheme of the second of these Companies had been cur• tailed to the course between Preston and Fleet wood; while this line had come out of the ordeal in its entirety, so that the company came before their Lordships under favourable circumstances, especially as the compawv were now now on friendly terms with their late opponents. The line from Blackburn to Long Preston, where it forms a junction with the North Western line, would be a distance of 23i miles. There was to be a branch to Thornton of 8i miles in length, with another short branch of mile to some large lime works. The number of assentinglandowners on the line are 122, owning landtotheextentof 17i miles ; 69 owners having a length of three miles and a-quarter are neuter, while there are only thirty-seven owners, holding two miles and a-half, who dissent. By means of this line there would be a double communication with the several parts of the district within the range of this railway round Blackburn, and not only accommodate that place with a good supply of coals but would greatly facilitate the development of the manufactures of Clitheroe. The only opposition offered to this railway was made by the East Lancashire Company through the petitions of landowners. This attempt had been made in the House of Commons, and especially with respect to the station ploposed to be erected in the town of Blackburn. But in that case Lord Palmerston and the committee over which he had presided, bad decided that the question of the public safety and convenience should be left to the Board of Trade. After alluding to the petitions which bad been presented, some of which he stated had been obtained under erroneous impressions on the part of the signers. The Learned Counsel stated there was in reality no real substantial landowners case to be made out. Mr. H. Smith, agent of the North Lancashire Steam Na vigation company was called and stated, that the company had been extensively engaged in commercial communica tion with Belfast and the north of Ireland, as well as with the west toast of Scotland. He considered that by the for mation of this line of railway, such a market would be opened, as would very largely increase the importation of Irish produce. The flax trade, which is the most growing trade in Leland, would especially be improved, there being an immense quantity now brought from abroad, which would hereafter come from Ireland. Fleet wood, where the railway traffic had very greatly increased, possess great advantages over Liverpool in the cheapness of its port dues, and in the fact that that the railway trucks could go over the quays anp pour their contents into the holds of the ships. Mr. Sergeant WRANGITAM was about to cross-examine on the point of distances, when he was interrupted by Mr. Wordsworth, who stated that as the Learned Ser geant Lad only to do with the station at Blackburn, and that he was not competent to enter into the gen era l merits of the line. The Earl of DEVON wished, as in the last instance, to know the precise status of the Learned Sergeant—how his client was damaged. Air. Sergeant WRANGITAM cited "the instance of the Nor wich Company, which was successful in the Commons but had been thrown out in the Lords by the petition of their unsuccessful competitors, and he therefore felt assured that the petition of the East Lancashire Company ought now to be entertained, for without following that course the case could not come before the Committee, and thus they might pass a bad line and shut out a better one from any future application to Parliament. The Earl of DavoN did not wish to decide and abstract question. Mr. Se,geant WRANGHAM contended that this was a most important point of practice, and he trusted it would be de cided now. He would also cite the case of the line to New bury, promotep last year, respectively, by the South Western, and the Great Western Companies. Lasst session the first of the Companies got their Bill in the Commons but lost it in the Lords. This session the Great Western branch passed, with hardly any opposition, through both Houses. Mr. WO7DSWORTH denied that there was any such con- straint as that alleged on the other side. A long discussion then ensued upon the point which was reserved, and the Committee adjourned. GROUP D. .A.Z.HOLME,GILINSBOROUGH,GOOLE, YORZ, AND NOICTII MIDLAND JUNCTION. The Committee re-assembled this morning, Lord Somers in the chair, when,after some discussion, the examination of Mr. Birkenshawe, the engineer, was continued. In the course of his evidence he admitted that there wai an error of seven feet in the elevation of the line at Epworth. The inconvenience arising from this fact he proposed to re medy by taking advantage of the section of the Railway Consolidation Acts, and making a deviation of five feet, ani thus leave it at that point only two feet above the surface of the earth. On re-examination by Mr. WritrrEnnusT, the witness stated that this would be no more inconvenience than that which was suffered by the elevation of the public roads. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE then addressed the Committee on this point, and urged that under the provisions of the Standing Orders and under the regulations of the Railways Consolidation Act the Bill could not pass. Mr. W th w e i s T t Ell and li i ß ng STorredpelLedihane objectiondrgdth c a o t u t li hi n s o ß t i b llehavinpassed enter tained, and if it were, it could in no way invalidate the Bill. This he was decided upon, because the object of the Act was not to make any difference of level objectionable as it existed with regard to the datum line, for it was utterly impossible to ascertain what the datum line really was, or where its level was to be ascertained, but its object was to consider what variation might be made from the surface of the earth. He, therefore, conceived that the opposition on this point could not be entertained. At this point the room was cleared, and on the re-admis sion et the parties, Lord SOMERS declared the opinion of the Committee to be that the preamble was not proved. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XVII. MANCHZSTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. Mr. HILL (in continuation from our Afternoon Edition), after referring at great length to other matters, in con nexion with the railway communication of the district pro posed to be traversed by the line, and to figures, to show that neither the line to Andover, nor the other portion, could be made in the time stated on account of the small amount of capital which the promoters proposed to call, he concluded by imploring the Committee to reject the preamble of the Bill, on the ground that the traffic did not justify its construction, and that the wants of the district would be fully met by the lines sanctioned by Parliament. The address of the Learned Gentleman occupied nearly five hours and a half. The Committee then adjourned until twelve to-morrow. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE. HOC SE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met at the usual hour this morning, in Room No. 1 (House of Lords). Lord Shaftesbury took the chair as usual.

ARMAGH, COLERAINE, and PORT RUSH RAILWAY COMPANY—(THIS DAY). An adjourned meeting of some of the shareholders in this company took place this day, at the offices of Mr. Phillips, a solicitor, in Lawrence Pountney-lane, for the purpose of eonsidering what measures it would be best to pursue, in order to compel the directors to wind up the company, and to repay the whole of the deposits. Mr. Carter took the chair. A lengthened discussion arose as to the impropriety of the directors having amalgamated with the Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Company without having obtained the sanction of the shareholders. It was urged by Mr. Phillips that the shareholders had a perfect right, in consequence of the Com pany having acted in such a manner, to compel the whole of the capital paid up by way of deposit to be returned. Several shareholders considered that the course adopted by one or two of their body was exceedingly improper. There had been no attempt to ask the directors in a proper manner to give them the requisite information.

REFINER.—To.day there was scarcely any demand for Refined Sugar for home consumption, although brown lumps according to quality could be obtained at 67s to 68s, and standard lumps at 68s 6d to 69s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is wanted, and former advanced rates are well sup. ported. MAURlTlUS.—lmporters still refrain from offering any at public sale, although there are further arrivals, and the bu biness transacted by private treaty, has been extremely limited although there are sellers upon lower terms. EAST INDIA.—The business transacted in all kinds of Ben gal privately has been trifling, although merchants are wil ling to make some concession in prices. None has been of fered at auction, but there are further arrivals. Madras is dull of sale, and can he purchased upon lower terms. FOREIGN.—To-day there were no public sale of ;Foreign Sugar; privately several inquiries existed for near ports, the Baltic, and on speculation; but business was checked by further advanced rates being required.

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 barn, 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 pr:soner. 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 June, 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 death he left her 2,6001. in money, and 4001. worth of plate and furniture. The prisoner had the whole of this money and property. Cross-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. BALLANEINE, on behalf of the prisoner, said he did not think his Learned Friend was quite jtktified in describing the present case as the most heartless that could be ima gined; and although he could not deny that the conduct of the prisoner had been very bad, yet it appeared that he bad 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 COMMON SERGEANT inquired what bad become of the plate and furniture? Miss Burt replied that everything was 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 bad 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 shilling, 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. • P - of iRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY. —The .committee Management of this Society, which was founded in the year 1837, for the purpose of 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 file, 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. AI , - MURDER NEAR NOTTINGHAM. NOTTINGHAM, MONPAY.—A report reached this town on Sunday evening that a man had been found a few 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 be left the Shakspere public-house in the latter town, to return with his load of goods, in company with an agricultural labourer, Henry Shepherii, 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 au hour; he then drove on to th e H ut, 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 bad 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 ver. , soon saw Robinson stretched on his back upon the 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 cff 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 the day he fought. His master, Mr. Houghton, of Nuttall, paid bins 3L 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% 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 had described as the time he left Robinson, she saw three even 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 mortetn 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 Rum 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 ff 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, whey found, the deceased's bandker • 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 hav e 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 obnoxious 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 pessession 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 Saturday, information was received by the principal officer of another constable, of the same division, named 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.

Messengers from the House of Commons brought up several Bills, which were ordered to be laid on the table. THE LAW RELATING TO LUNACY. Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from the Alleged Lunatics' Fund Society, praying for improvement in the law relating to insane persons. SITES OF CHURCHES. _ _ Lord BROUGHAM prevented a petition from several members of the Scotch Free Church, praying that facilities might be given for the granting of sites for the building of churches in connexion with that communion. JUVENILE OFFENDERS BILL, The Marquis of WESTMINSTER postponed the second reading of this Bill till Thursday next. The Earl of ZETLAND presented the report from the Select Committee on the Caledonian Railway (Midlothian branch). Lord RIVERS brought up the report of the Select Com mittee on the Axholme, Gainsborough, Goole, and York and North Midland Junction Railway Bill. Lord VIVIAN moved that it be an instruction to the Committee of Classification of Railways to refer the Exeter and Yeovil and the Plymouth Railways to the same Select Committee. The Earl of DEVON did not see any necessity for the motion of the Noble Lord, and he did not consider that the circumstances of the case required any such grouping. He considered the proposition quite novel, and that the ordinary proceedings with regard to railway Bills should not be departed from. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH thought that the ar rangement as to the railway Bills should be left entirely to the Committee of classification. Lord PORTMAN thought that the Noble Lord (Vivian) should withdraw his motion, and leave the grouping of these Bills to the ordinary course. Atter a few words from Lord REDESDALE, who re marked that Committees very often in their good nature sanctioned schemes which were not always the best the dis trict would afford. Lord BROUGHAM said their system of railway legisla tion ought to be revised and some more effectual and settled principles established than those which now existed for the guidance of Committees. After a few words from one or two other Noble Lords, Lord VIVIAN withdrew his motion, and the Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. SELECT COMMITTEES. The Duke of RICHMOND said lie wished to say a few theirAl th Although Lordships, the was words a n o n immensethe subject of number Select of Bi lbeforeCommittees. they had only been able to get three C omm i ttees together. Now, Noble Lords were exempt from serving on juries, in consequence of the duties they had to perform in that House, and he hoped, after this notice, they would come down to attend to the business of the country. The Earl of CLAREN DON was glad the Noble Duke had called attention to this subject. It was a crying evil, and they ought to be much obliged to the Noble Duke for the exertions he had made to provide committees. If Noble Lords did not think proper to attend after that notice, it would be absolutely necessary to pass a resolution to com pel them to do so.—(Hear, hear.) Lord HATHERTON was connected with some of the railways in the centre of England, and he could positively state that out of doors there existed a feeling of great dis satisfaction as to the slow progress their Lordships made in the appointment of Railway Committees.—( Hear.) Lord REDESDALE denied that the public had anvcause to complain of the House having neglected its business,eor he Jse lieved not a Bill had come up from the other House this ses sion which had not had a Committee appointed on it within a week afterwards.—(Hear, hear.) The fact was, the blame in most cases rested with the gentlemen who had charge of the Bills, and not with the House.—(Hear, hear.) Lerd HATHERTON admitted that in a few instances that might be the case, but still the feeling in the country was week. Several Bills were advanced a that most of th e bl ame res t e d w ith the House. Many Bill s would com e up i n a few days, and if they were not got T th h r u o r u sd gh ay this year, of course the House would have to make them remanets for ne x t.—(H ear , hear.) SH EFFIELD AND EAST LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY. After an irregula r d i scu ss i on on the motion of the Duke of Beaufort, the thi r d rea di ng o f this Bill was postponed till stage, and the House ad journed at half-past six o'clock till Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. NEWCA STLE-UPON-TYNE AND CARLISLE BRANCH RAILWAY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Mr. BRANISTON, as Chairman of the Committee to whom the Bill was referred, felt himself .bound to oppose the amendment. HUDSON protested that the amendment had been urged upon the Honourable Mover of it by a com pany who had been promoting a competing line, and he therefore trusted th e House would not agree to it.—(Hear, hear.) Besides, there were the established tribunals, who, he was sure, would afford every protection to the trustees; and he hoped, as the measure was so strongly supported in the country, the House would not sanction the delay.—(Hear.) Mr. BARING said he hoped his Hon. Friend would not press his rnotion.—(H ear h ear .) If the parties had been at all injured they should have made a representation to that effect to the Committee to whom the Bill bad been referred. -- (Hear.) Even if it were found desirable that the Attor ney-General should interfere in this matter, he would of course have a full opportunity of doing so whilst the Bill was in progress in the other House. Mr. SMITH consented, after the explanations he had heard, to withdraw his motion. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY EXTENSION , AND OLDHAM, MANCHESTER, AND BIRKEN' HEAD JUNCTION. On the motion of Mr. JOHN FIELDEN, the reports on the Manchester and Leeds Railway Extension and the Old ham, Manchester, and Birkenhead Junction Railways Bills were considered and approved of. Mr. GREENE then moved that the Standing Orders Noc. 121 and 122, requiring amendments proposed on the re port, or third reading of a Bill, to be referred to the Select Committee on Standing Ordere, be to the end of the present suspended. MURDER AT KINETON, WAR- WICKS HIRE. 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 c omm i tte d c l ose 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 Corubrooke, 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 cf the Rose 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 f o ll ow i ng day. The deceased, William Chater, came about half-past twelve o'clock on the Wednesday, and stayed half an hour, during which time he had some bread and cheese. He then left, and returned about six o'clock in the evening, when he 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 au hoar, and then then left the house rather in liquor, but walking prettl well. He went out by the back way, and no one was Vi r, him. I saw him off the premises. There were seven or eie,' people in the lodge-room when he left, and lodgers in Eh!, ferent parts of the house. I did not see any money in possession whilst he was at the house. He complained 0 being short of money, but witness, though he knew he ha d paid for what be had, did not fe;, him with any money, sou never saw him again alive. His body was brought in be:, tween three and four o'clock the next niOnfing. Witness , house was clear of all company, except ihe lodgers, s 4 ten o'clock. Thomas Purnell, a groom to Mr. Brown, surgeon, of Kine: ton, deposed to having seen the deceased on the Wednesds/ evening alluded to standing against Mr. Winter's shop vomiting, and to all appear a n ce i n t ox i ca t e d. Witness a ' vised him to go into the Swan and sit down, but witness rr plied that he would go home. Martin Wisdom, the younger, said—l am a carrier, 1 11 . 1 ing at Kineton. I knew the deceas e d. I saw him in the Od a Fellows' club-room at the Rose and Crown, on Wednesdsi afternoon. I saw him there from three to five o'clock. 11° , was quite sober, but I believe he was drinking. There Wor t five or six persons in the room. I left a little before six. left the deceased there. I was in the town half-an-ht afterwards, and stayed until nine o'clock. 1 went home " bed. I got up at eleven to go with a horse to meet ral i father at the bottom of Friz-bill, near Wellesbourne. M, went up Pittern•hill I heard groaning, and saw some °l l t lying under the hedge. I s poke t wo or three times and gt no answer. I got on the horse and looked in the perseili face. I saw it was Chater. I thought he was "fresh," 0 , that I would let him alone, I did not observe any wound ',.. injury to his face. It was rather da r k, but light enough w see it was deceased, and 1 knew him by his dress, hall seen him in the aftern o o n . I wen t on till I met the part o, this side of Wellesbourne turnpike-gate. I waited for tb cart about 300 yards from the gate. I waited half an hell: As we were comi ng h ome , w hi c h mus t h ave b een about ts, , o'clock,.l told my father I had seen deceased lying on °i t , road quite " fresh." When we came to Pittern-hill Ti., found him where I had left hi m ; h e l ay upoil his left side with his head towards the hedge. My f a th e r placed W. ) against the bank. He was quite speechless ; he was Inuf b , injured about the head. The blood ran out of his inc l %4 and there was a rattling in the throat. We took the ll.p home, as we had no room for the deceased, and called ul , l e Brown, a surgeon, and the constable, and then took 13174 1 :,,,i.; empty cart, and brought deceased to the Rose and C•'° He was then alive, but insensible. John Mayor Brown sworn—l am a surgeon at Kifiet°t I was called up to the deceased by last witness, on Thurso", morning, about half-past 2 o'clock. I proceeded inilli diately to the spot, Wi s d om f o ll ow i ng w i t h hi s car t ; I fol l fig Chater lying by the roa d- s id e ;I at first thought 010 was intoxicated, he was i n a comp l e t e state o f stupor , CO ,. and insensible. I had hi m pl ace d i n Wi s d om ' s cart, I°l conveyed to the Rose and Crown. On examining hinlAt found a wound on his f ore h ea d, th e r i g h t eye was black sf il swollen, there was a great contusion on the right side of Ra head. I gave him brandy, bled him, put him to bed, t n i f staid with him several hours. He did not get warm. 1,. 55 0 him several times on Thursday. He never recovered Jr°, his state of insensibility, and died about 8 o'clock on Friall, morning. I made a postmortem examination, and found parts much contused, and a severe fracture of the skull. , h i the right side there was a depression of -the skull on %d' brain, 3i, inches by 2*, the fractured portion of bone be l 7, forced on the brain ; the back part of the temporal bone W A . ; broken, and the fracture extended round the head, fronl2:6 ear to the other. [Several portions of the skull which 1 1 0. been forced on the brain were produced by the surgeo?A! the jury.] The cause of death was fracture of the ss t i„ which could not arise from a drunken man on. foot falling ~ his head. I consider the fracture and injury arose flop blow given with violence by some blunt instrument. 01 dirt from the fall was on the left side, the injury on e j, right; the right lappet of his coat was torn. The deces 9 ri o I am fully of opinion, could not have inflicted the Wil l himself. The verdict of the jury wa s " Wilf u l mur d er aga i n st Do l l person or persons unknown." th l The hat and coat of the deceased were produced 1)1 i constable; the left side of the coat was dirty, as if fr° lii ie fall : only a few pence were found in his pocket, so e c c i i if empty purse; also some soap which he had purchst 0 Kineton, where he bad been spending the afternoon. ...ii had in his possession a packet of coffee, which was strop ' on the ground near to where he was found, evidently st, A6 l. struggle had taken place. His walking-stick wow' broken in the road. The magistrates of the neighbourhood, Mr. E. B. Ofbe Colonel Miller, Rev. C. Palmer, &c., have been indefatilo in their exertions to trace the murderer, whose objec t . is' not appear to have b een pl un d er , b u t bloodshed. l uv dill ceased was of a quarrelsome, disposition, often engsg; t he disputes with his work men , & c. , b e f ore th e j us tices 0„,,,0 locality ; and some of th e persons w i t h w h om h e list I " - thus engaged have been known to threaten him.
