IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT• (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair to day shortly after Twelve o'Clock. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' amendments to the Shrewsbury Market Bill were considered and agreed to. THIRD READINGS. The Drumpeller Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. The Great Northern Railway (Isle of Axholmo ex tension) Bill was read a third time. On the motion that the Bill do pass, Lord GALWAY moved the insertion of a clause by way of rider, to compel the company to complete the line from Gainsborough to Bourtry, before they entered upon the Isle of Axholme line. The company had al ready expended upwards of three millions of money, for which they had paid 200,0001. interest, and had not opened more than halt a mile of railway. Mr. CHRISTOPHER opposed the clause. With re spect to the statement of the Noble Lord, that not more than half a mile of the railway was now opened, he had to state that 120 miles of the railway was already constructed in Lincolnshire, and would be opened in September next ; added to which, 250 miles in other parts was nearly completed. After a short discussion, in which Captain Duncombe, Mr, Piney, Mr. Grantley Berkeley, and Mr. Green toek part, the House divided, when there apreared— For the insertion of the clause Against it Majority against the clause The clause was consequently lost, and the Bill was passed THIRD READINGS. The following Bills were read a third time and passed: Low's Patent North and South-Western Railway (Harrow to Brent- ford) Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton (No. 2—De viation of Line, and power to Shrewsbury and Bir mingham, and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Railway Compaaies to contribute and make arrangements) Strathtay and Breadalbane Extension Railway. CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS. The report on the Manchester Corporation Water works Acts Amendment (No. 2) Bill was further consi dered, and agreed to. Mr. COW AN presented several petitions from dif ferent parts of Scotland in favour of the Sites of Churches (Scotland) Bill. Also petitions against the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sunday. Mr. MUNTZ presented fifty petitions from Preston and other parts of Lancashire praying for a reduction of the national expenditure, and in favour of vote by ballot, universal suffrage, and annual Parliaments. Several petitions were presented in favour of the Sites Bill; also a number of petitions praying the House to take means to prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors on the Sabbath. Mr. EWART presented a petition from 5,000 resi dents in Van Diemen's Land, against a revival of the system of transportation; also a petition from several hundred fathers of families in Van Diemen's Land to the same effect, and praying that a free representative Assembly might be conceded to the colony. The first petition was very long, going very fully into the affairs of thelcolony, and giving numerous details as to its present financial position. The Hon. Gentlemaa gave notice that to-morrow he should move that these petitions be printed with the votes. Mr. W. J. FOX presented a petition from Finsbury, in favour of a national system of education. Mr. J. MATHESON presented a petition against the Marriage Registration Bill for Scotland. Lord LINCOLN presented several petitions in favour of the Health of Towns Bill. Mr. CARD WELL presented a petition from Liver pool, signed by the Mayor of the town, praying for a re duction in the national expenditure. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD presented a petition from Wallingford, praying the House to enforce the law re lating to the qualification of Members. Mr. SCOTT presented a petition from a place in Southampton, praying that some honour or distinction might be conferred upon the desc endants of the inventor of the steam engine ; also several petitions from the woollen manufacturers of England, praying the Hour to take into consideration the great question of eolom nation. NOTICE OF MOTION. Mr. EWART gave notice that to-morrow he should ask the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary for the Home Department whether Government intended to introduce any mea►ure for the regulation of grammar schools? Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON gave notice that to morrow he should put a question to the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment in reference to a variety of communications be had received, alleging that on Sunday last the police of the Tower Hamlets assembled, and injured large numbers of the inhabitants of that borough.—(Cries of "Oh, oh.") He should also ask the Right lion. Baronet whether he had received any communication of a similar nature. — (Cries of " Oh, oh.") MR. MITCHEL. Sir WM. VERNER, seeing the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department ho wished to ask him, whether he had heard, and if there were any truth in the report, that John Mitchel, when put on board the Shearwater to be conveyed to Spike Island, was entertained by the officers on board the vessel at their mess, and treated in a way that was unbecoming a convicted felon. Sir G. GREY said he had received no report or official information on the subject, but certainly a report had reached him that the assistant-surgeon, and not the efficers of the Shearwater entertained Mr. Mitchell at breakfast on his way to Spike Island. Upon receipt of that information he communicated it to his Noble Friend the First Lord of the Admiralty, and no doubt the matter would be satisfactorily dealt with by that Noble Lord. IRISH REGISTRATION. Mr. HAMILTON wished to know when the Irish Registration Bill would come on. Sir GEORGE GREY said his Noble Friend the First Lord of the Treasury would state on Friday. GAME CERTIFICATES FOR KILLING HARES BILL. On the order of the day being read for considering the report on this Bill, Mr. ELLIOT moved the insertion of a clause to the effect that a tenant should have power to grant written permission to kill hares on their farms. The amendment gave rise to a long discussion in which Captain llAlms and others took part. Mr. BOURKE said he was opposed not only to the clause but the Bill altogether, and he warned the landed interest of that House, that, if this Bill passed, it would ultimately lead to the utter annihilation of the game laws.—(Hear, hear.) In fact this Bill proposed nothing more nor less than to establish free trade in hares, and he should not be at all surprised if next year the Honourable Member for Manchester came for ward to extend the principle to partridges, pheasants, and indeed any and every description of game. The amendment was ultimately withdrawn. Mr. COLVILE moved that in clause one the words "by any means, save as hereinafter excepted," be omitted. Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY gave notice that on the third reading he should move the insertion of several clauses, and took the opportunity of stating that the Bill would confer no boon upon the tenants, inas much as the landlords would take good care that the provisions of this Bill should never be put in force. Colonel SIBTHORP admitted that tenants suffered much from the injuries done to their farms by hares, but he submitted that the better way to deal with that difficulty was not to give them power to kill the hares, which, in his opinion, was no boon at all, but to provide that the landlord should make good the damage done by the game in the shape of compensation to the tenant. Mr. H. BERKELEY said be was a free•trader, and he desired to see free-trade in game as well as in every thing else, and would support the right of every man to kill the game which he bred. He considered, however, that great mischief would result from giving power to tenants to destroy game by fire-arms, because murder had frequently been committed through the use of that instrument, whereas no danger attended the use of snares. After a few observations from some other Hon. Mem bers, the House divided, when there appeared — For the omission Against it ... 22 Majority —ss Mr. ELLIOT moved that atter the word " certificate,' in the third clause, the following words be added " ex. cepting the proprietors of the said greyhounds, beagles, or other hounds," which amendment would have the effect of compelling persons who kept hounds of their own, for a day's sport occasionally, to pay the tax. After a short discussion, the Hort. MEMBER consented to withdraw his amendment. Sir W. JOLLIFFE moved that after the word "de scription," in clause 4, the words " by night" be added, and also at the end of clause 6 that the following words be added :--" and the word night' shall be considered and is hereby declared to commence at the expiration of the first hour after sunset, and to conclude at the beginning of the last hour before sunrise." He said the object of his amendment was to prevent the use of fire arms at night, which had been attended with the most serious consequences. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority..... —6o The other clauses were then agreed to. On the motion that the Bill be engrossed, Mr. H. DRUMMOND said he believed he was at li berty to move that the Bill be engrossed that day six monthp.—(Laughter.) He bad great objections to the measure, and he thought it was to be regretted that as much of the time of the House had been wasted upon a matter of so little import. Colonel SIBTHORP said he should oppose the Bill altogether on the third reading. After a desultory discussion upon the general merits iof the Bill, the House divided, when there appeared For the motion Against it Majority The Bill was then ordered to be engrossed. The House resumed and spin resolved itself into Committee upon the 4% 81 /2 13% 34% GAME CERTIFICATES (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. G. 1314:;RKELEY moved the insertion of a clause, for the purpose of enabling the police to take into custody' suspicious persons, who had game in their possession. The clause was rejected without a division. The Box. MEMBER then moved the insertion of a clause, specifying, the periods when it was legal, and when illegal, to sell game. This clause was also rtjected by the House without s division. 'The preamble of the Bill was then agreed to, and the report ordered to be brought up to-morrow. SCHOOLMASTERS (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. sS. COCHRANE said, as he understood a num ber of Scotch Members were opposed to this Bill, he would consent to withdraw it. The Bill was accordingly withdrawn. PLACES OF WORSHIP SITES (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion being put for going into Committee on this Bill, Mr. COCHRANE moved an amendment that the Bill be read that day six months. He raid there were no real substantial grounds for the measure, because it was a positive Net that the number of sites which bad been refused for churches belonging to the Free Church was only twenty-nine, while as many as 600 sites bad been granted. The Free Church distinctly avowed that its intention was to overthrow the Established Church of Scotland, and it now asked the House to cotnpel parties who conscientiously differed from its tenets to give land for churches, a proceeding which would have the effect of creating dissension and misery in the different parishes. He wished to show no dis respect to the Presbyterians of Scotland, but he repro bated the conduct of the Free Church adherents, who on every public occasion endeavoured to excite dis sension among the people. and ho concluded by ex pressing his sincere wish that the House would throw out the measure. Mr. F. MAULE, in reference to an article which the [lon. Member had read in the course of his speech from the Witness newspaper, distir.clly denied that that paper was the organ of the Free Church, although it was edited by a member of that body. He said the Hon. Gentleman was entirely ignorant of the real grounds which existed in Scotland for the measure, and he could assure the House that no body of persons were more attentive to the law, and more anxious to disiemi nate religious knowledge, and to establish the prin ciple of good order, than were the members of the Free Church. If they went into a discussion of the question he hoped they would not be led to do so in any tone of irritation, but discuss it in the same rational and tem perate manner which attended the consideration of the matter upon a previous occasion. Should the House pass the measure, they would confer upon the country a great benefit ; but, if they rejected it, a number of grievances affecting that large body would be suffered to remain. Lord DRUMLANRIG said he was prepared to give his support to this Bill. Mr. M. MILNES said the Bill would have the effect of introducing a principle of a perfectly novel character into their legislation. Looking at the immense amount of influence which Dissenters in this country possessed, he did not consider the House was justified in giving such a right to one religious body in Scotland without conferring the same right upon the different religious bodies in England. The Wesleyans were at one time as much, if not more persecuted than the Free Church, but they eventually overcame all difficulties, and now maintained a position which they still continued to hold. Mr. OSWALD objected to the measure, which he said had the effect, of applying a national remedy to evils of a local and temporary nature. Sir JAMES GRAHAM regretted to be again called upon to enter into a discussion upon this important subject, but he could not express his views upon the merits of this Bill without expressing much sorrow that his Hon. Friend the Member for Bridport should have felt himself at liberty to mix up the character of eminent Scottish divines with this distressing question. For his own parr, he knew from experience that two of ;these distinguished divines were as remarkable for their Christian feelings and forbear ance as for their piety and learning, and he therefore regretted that his Hon. Friend should have felt it ne cessary te: impugn the motives which had induced them to take the part of the Free Church. Leaving that part of the subject, he was anxious to enter upon the discussion of the general question in a con ciliatory spirit, and without reference to the feelings which had actuated the proceedings of one party or the other. Now he doubted very much whether the adverse spirit towards the Free Church was so very general in Scotland as some Hon. Members seemed to imagine. Indeed landholders generally, both in Scot land and Ireland, were anxious that places of worship should be established on their estates. In Ireland there certainly was no difficulty in obtaining sites for that pur pose, and he much doubted whether obstacles in Scotland were so great as had been represented, for, if he were not mistaken, within the last five years 725 churches had been built for this very Free Church.—(Hear, hear.) 'The Right Hon. the Secretary at War had di rected the attention of the House to the fact, that the Duke of Buccleuch had refused to grant sites upon his property. Now, he had long been on terms of private friendship with that nouleman, while he had more than once been politically associated with him, and he could assure the House that a butterin , more worthy man did not exist. Anything he could say upon that point would, fall far short of the benevolent cha racter which the meanest peasant on his estate would g ive him ; but men was but man after all, and an isolated act of one individual could not be a sufficient justification for the passing of a measure like this. But he denied that the Duke of Buccleuch had been guilty of the oppression that had been laid to his charge; and he denied most positively that a cast had been made out for resorting to legislation upon this sub ject. lie would not, however, pretend to deny that it might be far different in individual instances of oppression, but then he maintained that such cases ought to be brought separately before the Legislature, and if it were only upon that ground alone he must object to the passing of this general measure, restin , -.; as it did upon a general princi ple and applicable to all parts of the United Kingdom. — (Hear, hear.) On the e hole he thought it much better to leave this matter to be settled amongst the parties themselves than by resorting to legislation, and he must be allowed to tender that opinionl as his excuse for op posing the further progress of the Bill. Mr. SCOTT said he was opposed to the principle of the Bill, but if the House determined on carrying it into Committee, he should support the amendmentof the Hon. Member for Roxburghshire. Th e Hon. Meniber then proceeded at some length to defend the conduct of the Duke of Buccleuch, and contended that in the two cases where his Grace had refused to grant sitesihe was per fectly justified in doing so. He was, however, in a position to state, that had this Bill never been brought forward, not only in those two cases, but in every case where a refusal had been met with, the sites would long ago have been granted, and the animosities which had so long divided the two parties would have been very greatly reduced. The Hon. Member, then proceeded to defend the Duke of Buccleuch against the charges that bad been made against him of turning off his estates several tenantspe cause they belonged to the Free Church, and concluded by stating his intention to oppose the further, proceeding with the Bill. Mr. HUME supported the Bill, because he thought it would be productive of peace and good will in Scotla nd. He was as adverse as any one to the interfere nce with private property, but he thought it necessary to l e g islate upon the subject. Mr. R. SVOONER objected to the further pr o g ress of the Bill, although he had voted for its second reading. After some observations from Mr. MACKENZIE, Mr. CHRISTOPHER thought they ought not to go to a division upon this Bill without hearing what course ,he Government intended to pursue with respect to the 13111. Sir G. GREY said he should vote against the amend ment of the Hon. Member tor Bridport and for the mo tion of the Hon. Member for Roxbarglkhire, for reasons which he should state when the House went into Com mittee on the Bill. The House then divided, when there appeared— For going into Committee B4 Against it 59 Majority for going into Committee —25 The House then went into Committee pro forma on the Bill. The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. The House then resumed. BOROUGH ELECTIONS BILL. On the question that the Committee on the Borough _ Elections Bill be postponed, aft er some short discussion, Colonel SIBTIIORP gave notice that w hen the Bill was again brought forward he should move that the City of London should be in cluded in its provisions.

ELECTION CoIIIIIITTEE. (THIS DAY.) DUBLIN. The Committee were engaged the whole day with the scrutiny into the validity of Mr. Reynolds' return; but although objections were taken to three votes, none of them were sustained, and the votes wore decided to bo good. CHANCERY-(THISDAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster to-clay, and h ear d appeals, none o f w hi c h possessed any points of interest. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The further arguments in the part-heard case. of "Knight and Majorinai,k." occupied his Lordship the Master of the Roils the whole morning. VICE-CHAN CERY.-(T HIS DAY.) (Before the VICE.CIIANCELLOR OI ENGLAND.) , THE ATTORNEY-GEN ERAL V. WILSON—LADY BEWLEY S Mr. BETIIEL L repIied CHARITY to-day in this case at con • siderable length. The arguments have occupied nine or ten days, and the Learned Counsel's reply lasted to-day from ten till nearly three o'clock. The VICE - CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the Learned Counsel's reply, gave judgment ; and after going at some length into the facts of the ease, and stating with what anxiety he had considered the subject, pronounced the following decree :—That the words, godly preac h ers for the time being of Christ's Holy Gospel," in the deed of 1704 and 1707, describe in general those who at the time of Lady Hewley's death, or those who thereafter should be ortho dox English Dissenting ministers of Dissenting churches, or congregations essentially and substantially in doctrine and discipline of the same sort as the orthodox Dissent ing churches or congregations which existed in England in the years 1704 and 1707, and therefore that ortho dox English Dissenting ministers of the Baptist Church, of the Congregational and Independent Church, and of the Presbyterian Church in England, who are not united to or under the jurisdiction of the Kirk of Scot land and the Secession Church, are alone en titled to take the benefits provided by the deeds of 1704 and 1707 for godly preachers of Christ's Holy Gospel ; that the words in the same deed, " godly widows, " describe the widows of those orthodox English Dissenting ministers ; that the words in the deed, " preaching of Christ's Holy Gospel, " described the preaching of suck orthodox English dissenting ministers, that the words in the deed, " Ministry of Christ's Holy Gospel," described the ministry exercised by such orthodox English Dissenting ministers, and that the words " godly persons," described the individual members of such Baptist congregations, or Inde pendent or Presbyterian churches in England, and that the poor people to be placed in the hospital must be the poor members of such churches. Such were the declarations which his Honour felt himself called upon, after the most anxious attention to the case, to make. The Court then referred it to the Master to carry on the scheme directed by the original decree, and to appoint new trustees or managers in the place of the defendants, the Scotch Presbyterian trustees, which, by the decree, his Honour removed. All parties to have their costs between solicitor and client. The result of this judgment is to decide against the claims of the Scotch Presbyterians to participate in the benefit of Lady Hewley's charity, to remove all mem bers of that body from any control over the funds, and to refer it to the Master to appoint new trustees, out of the body of the English Dissenters of the denominations of Baptists, Independents, Congregationalists, and Presbyterians. Nothing of any interest occurred in the Courts of the Vice-Chancellors Knight Bruce and Wigram. SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES ) °BLANDER V. ALEXANDER. This was an action of trover to recover the value of certain apparatus invented by the plaintiff for the pur pose of rectifying spirits. An order had been made by one of the Learned Judges directing the property to be produced in court, and if delivered up, that the jury should estimate the difference in value of the ar ticle at the time it was improperly taken by de fendant and at the present time, and if not delivered up, then for the full value ; the plaintiff, at all events, to be entitled to a verdict for nominal damages. The case was uninteresting, the question being one en tirely of value, defendant, who is a licensed victualler, having admitted that he had illegally detained the pro perty, under the erroneous impression that it passed to him under an inventory on taking possession of some premises. Plaintiff claimed 301., but offered to accept 251 . The Learned SECONDARY summed up the evidence, which he said was very inconclusive, the value of the goods in 1844 being no criterion of the value in 1846, when defendant converted them to his own use. Part of the property only was produced, and that was now valued at 21. The jury gave a verdict for five shillings. Mr. PARRY, for plaintiff, claimed to have a verdict for forty shillings, the object of the judge's order bong to carry costs. The Learned SECONDARY—He was bound to take the verdict what, ver the effect might be, but Mr. Parry could apply to the Court above. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) THE CHARTIST LEADERS. Joseph Witiorns was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged with u.ing seditious language. Horace Hardy, police-sergeant G 15, saidfthat on the 25th May last he attended a meeting on Clerkenwell green, from seven o'clock in the evening to half-past nine. There were about 1,200 persons present. A person named Menders May was voted into the chair. He had seen May at similar meetings taking an active part. May made some observations which the prisoner must have heard, as he was in the van. He made notes of the proceedings at the time, which ho afterwards de stroyed, but he had taken a copy of those notes immediately after the conclusion of the meeting, and he now produced the copy and read it to the magistrate. The speech of May announced the object of the meeting, which he said was to unite the Irish Confederates with the English Chartists on the subj« et of the Irish trials. It was the duty of all Englishmen to join the Irish patriots in resisting the Government and obtaining the repeal of the Unic'. In the course of a few days they would have a proces sion to the Queen, in which he would walk under a black banner, with a death's head and cross bones inscribed on it, signifying death or liberty. Williams applauded this speech with the mob. Williams then moved the first resolution, censuring the Government for prosecuting Mitchel, and pledging the meeting to use all possible exertions to assist the Irish Confederates, in obtaining the liberty of Ireland. He said the meeting was called by his desire, in consequence of a paragraph which he had seen in an American paper to the effect that the Canadians were ready to revolt if Mitchel was convicted. He was certain if a few men would now make a stand they would be victorious. The Irish were determined not to allow Mitchel to be con victed, and if they arose the soldiers would join them and free him from prison if the verdict of the jury did not. He did not wish blood to be shed, but if they would not fight for a man like Mitchel they ought to be d—d. He was cheered by the mob, and the reso lution was passed. Richard Moss, G 195, arrested the prisoner on a war rant, at twenty minutes before five this morning, at his lodging in Bishopsgate-street, where he was in bed. He said he expected something, Mr. HENRY thought this a fit case to send before a jury. Ile would commit the prisoner, but would admit him to bail. Thu same prisoner was then charged jointly, with a prisoner n ame d Al exan d er S harpe, with using seditious language at a meeting ou the 26th of May, at the same place. The Sergeant (Hardy) said, that on the 26th May ho attended a meetin g , commenc i ng at e i ght an d en di ng at half-past nine o'clock in the evening. There wereasat about the same num b er o f persons p rese nt the former meeting, and it was of a simi lar character. The two prisoners were in the van which formed the platform. A person, whose name was announced as Ro se , was i n t h e chair. He took notes, as before, and, im me di ate l y a f ter the conc l us i on o f t h e pro ceedings, he took a clear copy, which he examined, with a man . named Cross. Th e copy h e pro d uce d wa s a var b atm copy. th e c h a i rman sa id t h e o bj ect o f t h e meet ing was to state the progress of the trial of J. Mitchel, and call e d on Mr. Williams to address the meeting. Williams read an extract from an American paper, which stated that the Canadians were ready to revolt if Mitchel was convicted. The 72d Regiment were to be removed from Montreal because they shouted for repeal. The Irish of New York had had a meeting, at which it was resolved, if the international law would allow them, to raise a brigade and send it to Ireland ; and if not now allowed, they would at the coming election for President, only vote for one who would allow them. They would at all events send arms, and had raised 100 dollars for that purpose. He then went on to say that it was the duty of every Englishman to assist the Irish Confederates, by every means in their power, to obtain the release of Mitchel, and proceeded to call on them to organize by joining the society. They were able by means of organization to held more than :1,000 meetings, that evening, and if they had more members they could hold more still. Ile then read a " vote of censure" on the "damnable, bloody, and tyrannical Government," for prosecuting John Mitchel, and a pledge on the part of the meeting to assist the Confederates, which were carried as a resolution. Sharpe, who seconded the resolution, said he bad been censured for using such strong language as he did the evening be fore, but he would repeat what he then said, by calling the Whigs a base, bloody, and brutal Govern ment. One hundred and fifty thousand Irish Contede rates had marched into Dublin the evening before, and no doubt by that time John Mitchel was free. This meeting caused alarm in the neighbourhood he believed. The prisoners remained till the meeting broke up. Cross-examined—lie attended the meeting for the purpose of observing the nature of the meeting, and the language used, by the di re ction of the superintendent. By Mr. HENRY—W ithout looking at the notes at all, he remembered what occurred at the meetings. A policeman of the G division (in private clothes) proved that he arrested the prisoner Sharpe this morn ing in St. George's-road, St. Luke's, near his own lodging. The prisoner Williams said that a great part of the evidence was false. Shar i e said it was exaggerated. IRELAND. Mr. HENRY C2MMittt d them both for trial on this .

The possibility of war in Europe, and the uncertainty as to the value of Brazil produce in foreign markets, have paralysed business.

WOOLWICH, JUNE 6.—lt is gratifying to be able to state that Captain Chads, of the Styx steam-vessel, is much better to-day, having rallied yesterday evening. Two of his ribs are broken, but it is hoped he has not sustained other material internal injury, which was at first apprehended. Commodore Chads arrived at Woolwich yesterday afternoon from Portsmouth, and on the same evening the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty promoted Commander Chads to be captain. The Caradoc steam-vessel for the mail-packet service left Woolwic this afternoon, for Greenbithe, to have her compasses adjusted, and will then proceed to her station at, Holyhead.

The Rev. Robert Montgomery, M.A., minister of Percy Chapel, made a most powerful and eloquent ap peal on behalf of the Lsngbourn Ward Charity Schools, at ,the church of St. I)ionis Backchurch, Fenchurch street, on Sunday morning last, to a most respectable and crowded congregation. His text was from the 2d Epistle to Timothy, 3d chap., 15th verse. A liberal amount was collected. ALLEGED MURDER AND SUICIDE AT BRISTOL. On Itionday the bodies of Maria, Edward, and John Hill, mother and children, were exhumed for the fur pose of being submitted to an examination, rendered necessary under the following circumstances:—ln Octo ber last the wife of Mr. Thomas Wellington Hill, a retired builder of Bristo!, died somewhat suddenly, and her death was followed in a short time afterwards by the decease of two of her children. No suspicion was attached to any party at the time of the death of Mrs. Hill, and not until application was made by the hus band for the amount of a policy effected upon the life of the wife in the National Loan Fund Assurance Society. As the policy was to a large amount, 3,0001., and was only effected four months previous to the death of the insured, the parties in the insurance-office disputed payment, and caused inquiries to be made respecting the death of the wife, and it was dis covered that her illness had been attended by vomit ing. Mr. Hill having threatened the insurance society with an action, they caused the body of the wife and also the bodies of the children to be disinterred, and the intestines given to Mr. Herapath, the celebrated chemist, for analyzestion. During the time the bodies wire being disinterred the suspected party committed suicide by means cif essential oil of almonds which he had pro cured—a portion himself and another portion by means of a sister—from two druggists' shops. Mr. Ilill wrote a note previous to taking the poison. in which he said, in disconnected sentences, that "his head suffered severely from mental distraction. His mind was bowed down by the attempt of a powerful party to crush him. He was not guilty of the atrocious charge," &c. An in quest was held upon the body on Monday evening, when a verdict of " Temporary Insanity " was returned. The inquiry respecting the death of Mrs. Hill and her chil dren will be resumed on Friday. RAGGED SCHOOLS.—Last evening a public meet ing was held in the Crown-court School-room in behalf of the ragged schools recently established in Brewer's court, Great Wild -street, Drury-lane. Lord Kinnaird having taken the chair, the secretary read the report. The building in which the school was held was the gift of a benevolent gentleman desirous to improve the con dition of the poor children of the neikhbourhoot l . Owing to the want of sufileent funds the committee could make provision for none but boys, 150 of whom had been admitted. The state of the poor in Great Wild street might.be judged of from the following statistics:— In 155 houses were found 700 families, containing 1,500 souls : of these 309 could not, read, 350 were without the Scriptures, 1,150 attended no place of worship, oily' 12 were communicants, 640 children were capable of going to school, and only 150 went occasionally.

DESTRUCTION OF A CHAPEL BY FIRE. - Last night a destructive fire broke out shortly after nine o'clock in ti -- -4 school-room attached to Park Chapel, situate in Gr,ve- street, Camden-town. The chapel, which belongs to the Independents, was built in theyear 1844, and was ministered to by the Rev. Mr. Harrison. Very soon after the discovery of the fire the root fell in with a great crash, and the whole presented a mass of flames. The engines were very tardy in their arrival, and the supply of water was bad. By twelve o'clock the fire was entirely subdued; little, however, being left of the chapel but the walls. The cause of the calamity is supposed to have been an escape of gas. DRESSMAKERS AND MILLINERS' PROVIDENT IN.. STITUTION.— We observe that a meeting, having for its object the establishment of an institution designed for the relief of necessitous persons. whose dependence is placed upon their employment in the arduous and pain ful task of dress-making Pnd millinery, is to take place on Monday next. As there is no enterprise of a wore benevolent character, calculated as it is to rescue thou sands of suffering and well disposed females from vice and misery, we have no doubt that the call thus made upon the best feelings of our nature will be liberally re sponded to, and that the noble and gentle ladies of the metropolis will lead the way in promoting an undertak ing which mu-t produce such inestimable benefits to the humbler classes of their own sex. THE WESTERN GRAMMAR SCHOOL.—A meeting of the inhabitants of &empties was last evening held in the great room of this institution (which is in connexion with King's College), in Aiexunder-square, where an official statement from the committee was made as to the objects, progress, and position of the establishment. The chair was occupied by F. Godrich, Esq. Resolutions were passed expressive of the hii.,h satisfaction which the course of education adopted had given to the parents of the pupils—of the great benefit which the establishment conferred upon the inhabitants of the district—and of thanks for the anxious superintendence bestowed upon all the interests of the institutio❑ by the committee of management. MEETING AT NEWCA6ILE.-- A putlic :meeting, convened by placard, was held on the Town Moor at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, on Sunday last, to sympa thise with John Mitchel, and express its opintoa on the reform movement. A large number of per sons assembled, but the proceedings were conducted entirely by Chartist orators, by whom the meeting had been got up. No attempt was made by the authorities to prevent the gathering, as there seemed no disposition on the part of the Chartist leaders to disturb the peace of the town and district, as in other parts of the country. Mr. William Boa occurisci the chair. .
