Ti me eno ug h too-- that such efforts should be made both by the Woods and Forests and by the differ en t l oca l comm i s sioners. There are so many eyesores demanding remove], and so many deficiencies requiring to be supplied, that it is a matter of satisfaction to observe the initiative at last taken to consult the public convenience and to beautify the aspect of the capital. Among the seventy Bias which on Thursday afternoon received the Royal Assent, were those for the Kennington -common and for the City of London improvements. Before I long, therefore, we may reasonably expect, now that these measures have passed into enactments, that both on the Surrey side of the water and within the jurisdiction of the LORD MAYOR, beneficial changes will become apparent. An unsightly common will be tranererened into a trim garden, where the gravel eva'l=3 and the gra.4s nlo's will intersperse the flower bed, and the ebrablSeris in picturesque alternation, instead of remain ing, as the ground is, uneven as a warren scantily covered with theo mangiest patches of the , sickliest-- vegetatio n . N ew s t ree t s on the other hand — will intersect those already -- formed in the heart of the g r eat emporium of corn coerce, affording' anililinal fac ilities for truffle, a n d causing the narrow lane, and the squalid bye-way to give place to some thronged and Palatial thorough fare Alterations are itist_Lovr, tvx"ver, being made in the arrangements of Somerset House—one of the noblest public buildings in the metropolis. Addi tional apartments are in course of being con structed, so as to enable all the various branches of the Inland Revenue to be under one roof, thereby, of course, greatly facilitating the labours, and mate rially diminishing the e x p en dit ure , of that depart ment. So far from sympathising with the Hon. Gentleman the Member f or L a mbeth in his apparent anxiety lest these changes should entail a larger outlay upon the country, we should rejoice to find the new buildings extending even to the completion of the edifice. We conceive, indeed, that it is in cumbent upon the Administration to avail themselves of the present opportunity not merely to erect additional rooms for the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, but to carry forward the labours of the architect, so as to finish the entire of the west side of Somerset House. Tne improvement is scarcely less requisite, in order to render th e struc ture uniform and symmetrical, than the continuation of the northern galleries of the Louvre, uniting them to the palace of the Tuileries, thereby realising the intention of Louis XIV., according to the magnifi cent project of NAPOLEON. Cannot this plan, as to the completion of Somerset House, be entertained by the Government ? It would be a noble monument of its energy, and one well worthy of the consideration of Lord JOHN MANNERS. W estminster-bridge, meanwhile, still continues to disfigure the Thames, as well as to seriously endanger the lives of her MAJESTY'S subjects. As far back as 1846, the insecurity of the structure was clearly enough demonstrated. Six years have elapsed, and still the bridge is there, a great deal more dilapidated and a great deal more dangerous. Its defects have become so exceedingly grievous, in fact, that the engineer acknowledges that the wooden piles supporting two of the arches are not by any means to be regarded as stable, but rather as so liabl e to displacement as to necessitate a very frequent and searching examination. Vehicles are sometimes, when more than usually laden, compelled to move cautiously over the more rotten portions of the struc ture, and by this method the traffic of that busy and populous quarter is ingeniously interrupted. This, too, within view of the old Abbey and of the vene rable Hall which has witnessed the pageantries of so many :Sovereigns, and of the sumptuous palace recently erected by the genius of Sir CHARLES BARRY for both Houses of the Legislature ! The bridge seems, indeed, to be preserved in its present condition as a sort of architectural foil to that noble palace at Westminster. Higher up the river consi derable activity is being displayed in carrying on the task of constructing the new bridge at Battersea. It would be well for the inhabitants of that suburb, if a similar degree of enterprise, were evinced in refe rence to the laying out of the long talked-of park at Battersea. Numerous opportunities, in truth, are simultaneously afforded Lord JOHN MANNERS by availing himself of which he may distinguish himself during the exist sense of the present Government. There is the Serpentine to be cleansed—monstrously Augean in its abominations. There is a National Gallery to be raised or to be selected—anent which he might jog the memory of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. There is a street to be planned here, and a bridge to be spanned there—a monument to be raised in on e direction, and a monument to be pulled down in another—so that the head of the Public Works will have but poor excuse for anything like indolence or indifference. Every body remembers the celebration, by our venerable and respected contemporary Mr. Punch, of the man and the boy who were presumed to be engaged upon the labour of erecting the Nelson Tes timonial. Even they appear to have " given in" in absolute desperation. The man, is perhaps, by this time bedridden from extreme age, or buried away in the parish churchyard, while the boy may have grown into a patriarch, having boys of his own call ing him grandfather. For there still continues that unfortunate column—the tribute of a grateful nation to the most heroic sea -captain that ever lived, killed in gaining his last and greatest victory— unfinished ! The lions are nowhere., One of the bronzes for the pediment remains invisible. Some of the beams of wood—the vestige of the old scaffolding—were left there until very recently, and were removed only, we presume, because they were unkyanized, and were dropping to pieces from slow decay. Would it not be possible for her MAJESTY'S Government to in duce the Emperor of RUSSIA to oblige us with e.nother 5001. to finish the monument to Lord NELSON ? Unhappily there are more testimonials in the land of a similar character. A view of Trafalgar -square—with the cruet-stand Nationd Gkllery and the ginger-beer bottle fountains, and the empty pedestal opposite the effigy of the Royal Gen tleman, and the unfinished column to the memory of our Hero- &tiler—would form an exquisitely appropriate vignette for the title-page of the History of England. We have repeatedly felt it our painful duty to pro test against the mode in which Select Committees of the House of Commons have been appointed, and the impediments and obstructions which are but too fre quently interposed to the fair and impartial carrying out of important inquiries directed by large majori ties. In many instances the deliberate decision of the House has been defeated, and the will of the majority thwarted by difficulties and objections started by skilful strategists. To the uninitiated it may appear that a victory has been achieved when a motion for the appointment of a Select Committee has been carried, that a fair and searching investigation must take place into the subject -matter referred for consideration. Never was there a greater mistake. The real con teat is only then beginning on any disputed point, where the object is rather to obtain a favourable re port than to elicit the actual facts. The greatest canvassing must take place to induce Honourable Gentlemen to serve, and few disinterested and un prejudiced persons are willing to undertake the additional labour. Days, ay weeks, are frequently consumed before a Committee can be nominated, and then it too often consists of partisans, so that the result of the inquiry may readily be anticipated, even before it has commenced. The ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer, indeed candidly acknowledged that he thought the Government would act very foolishly in consenting to the appointment of a Committee, unless perfectly certain of the nature of the report that would subsequently be agreed to. Others may not exhibit the same candour as Sir CHARLES WOOD, but it is certain that many attempts are made to pack Committees, so as to render the inquiry little better than a farce, and the report nothing more nor less than a foregone conclusion. A more striking illustration of the evils connected with the system could not be afforded than that of the proposed inquiry into the circumstances con nected with the institution of the Rev. Mr. BENNETT into the vicarage of Frome. The Honourable Gentleman the Member for Cockermouth had ori ginally brought forward his motion in the m on th o f ril• The decision was postp one d, i n consequence ° a Promise by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER " that • the Government were prepared to institute th e in quill, for which they seemed so anxious." Aft er a considerabl e time the Right Honourable Gentleman stated that he fo und that the Government cou ld not direct the Rem ised investigation, and the debate on th e adjourned motiopossible dn ay. No opportunity occurred was accordingly resumed on btheefoereartlhieestBth of June when, Member for the Univ e • in which the ~ . , a f ter a long discussion, .qtnt Honourable Gentleman the P eseatative of the Bishop of BATH i ed re r . . viit,- x of Oxford appeared as the motio n We :Wene.s, a th n e d a°h" z- s carried by a majority 156 votes ,_ its f avour of 45, Two days a ft erw ard , Hs its favour, and 111 against. . the Hon. Gentleman moved the n omination of the Comm ittee. there being No pos sible objection c ould be taken , LO the parties se lected. Every p att y was fai r i 9 repr esen t e d , and able and some of the and zealous ch of the minority were Chosen Several of I however, refused t o serve, and 1 those gentlemen, energetic advo catehad been especi who his 11 amongst others Mr. GLADSTOZip, the of the Bishop, a y selected by the Right Rev. Prelate esrepresen tative, authorised and who should, of course, as a matter " o n any P of or dinary justic e , b e placed —orar aittee. The Right Honourable Gentleman attempted t o impose conditions which would practically vary the decision of the House ; he required that mitten charges against the Bishop should be THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, prepared and submitted to the House ; and when the Government were prepared to give a certain time for the nomination declared that he would be com pelled to make a long speech in support of his views. The appointment was thus necessarily post poned, and eventually Mr. HORSMAN was com pelled reluctantly to abandon the investigation from the difficulties thus interposed, and the late period of the session to which it has been postponed, more particularly when a general election is im pending. But will the Bishop of BATH and WELLS be served by this palpable evasion of inquiry, after the state ments that have already been made, and the expression of feeling elicited from the House and country ? The division of the Bth of June was a practical con. demnation of his conduct. A majority of forty-five declared that a strict and searching investigation was essential, and yet that investigation has been avoided by the acts of his friend and repre sentative. Would not a person with clean hands have courted, nay, more, insisted upon the inquiry taking place ? It was only by a deliberate verdict of that Committee, founded on adequate evi deuce, that his character could be fully vindicated. We doubt if the most hostile report could have been more injurious to the Bishop than what has taken place, and we regret that a dignitary of the Church of England should be placed in so unpleasing a position. The proceedings will not, however, prove altogether fruitless. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sig nificantly alluded to the defective and unsatisfactory state of the law, and voluntarily declared that " it would be the duty of Government to take into their serious consideration the whole question, with a.view to applying a remedy to those grievances that existed as to the institution of clerks by bishops." The ob ject of Mr. HORSMAN may thus be achieved, although the reputation of the Bishop may not be eatisfacto. rily vindicated. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY, BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Their Lordships sat this morning at eleven o'clock. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Redesdale, Lord Truro, and the Bishop of St. Asaph. Pursuant to the order of their Lordships' House, Mr. Spry, who, it will be recollected, presented a petition last night through Lord Brougham, complain ing of having been arrested for debt while on his way to attend a Committee of the House, was this morning brought to the bar of the House, in the custody of the Governor of Whitecross-street Prison. Mr. Spry, examined by the LORD CHANCELLOR, said that ho resided in Oakley-square, and on Tuesday last, between nine and ten, ho left his house for the purpose of coming down to their Lordships' House. He had presented a petition against a Bill now before their Lordships, called the London Necropolis Bill, and was informed by his agent that it would be necessary for him to be sworn at the bar, and he was then coming down for that purpose. On arriving at the corner of Queen-street, by which way be had gone for the purpose of obtaining a cab, he was met by two men, one of whom asked him if his name was Spry, and on his rather hesitating to reply, said to him, " I know you are Spry, and I want you." He then took him into custody for a debt of 1601. He told the she riff's officer that he was going down to the House of Lords to attend a Committee, and showed him the Bill which he held in his hand. The sheriff's officer, how ever, said he had nothing to do with that, and persisted in carrying him to Whitecross-street Prison, refusing to allow him to communicate with his family, or with his Parliamentary agent. By Lord BROUGHAM—The agent informed him that it was necessary that he should come down to the House, but did not tell him that there was any order of the House for his doing so. F. Willis, the sheriff's officer, examined by the LORD CHANCELLOR, said that on Tuesday last he received in structions to arrest the petitioner. He met Mr. Spry that same morning at tho corner of Queen's• street, coming in the direction of their Lordships' House, where he took him into custody. Mr. Spry said he was going down to the House of Lords, but on being asked to produce the order, or stibpona, he said that he had not got one. By Lord TRURO—HO did not show me the Bill until I was taking him to Whitecross-street. By the LORD CHANCELLOR—I distinctly understood him to say that he was coming down to this House, but as ho had no order of the House I did not attend to that. Mr. Burdon, e xamined by th e L ORD C HANCELLOR , said that on Tuesday he received Mr. Spry into the prison of Whitecross-street, for debt, where he had kept him ever since. After a short consultation between the Noble and Learned Lords present, Lord BROUGHAM moved that Mr. Spry be discharged from custody. Lord TRURO concurred. He did not think that the fact of Mr. Spry not having an order of their Lordships' House was of the slightest importance in this case. It was perfectly possible that persons might have to attend before their Lordships on affairs of the greatest impor tance without having an order, and so long as they were bon& fide coming down to the House they had a right to be protected. There was no doubt, however, that any man in a similar position, pretending that he was going down to their Lordships' House, and deceiving the she riff's officer, would be guilty of a gross breach of privi lege, and would he liable to severe punishment. At the same time, it should be understood by the public officers, if individuals on _being arrested stated that they were going down to the House, it was their duty to attend with them before the Committee, and doer° was no doubt that the House, upon application, would take care to protect the public officers in the execution of their duty, and punish individuals who endeavoured to practise a de ception upon them in this manner. Lord BROUGHAM entirely concurred with what had fallen from the Noble and Learned Lord. It would be without doubt a very great contempt, and severely punishable to enter into a plot to deceive the public officer by a pretence of having business before their Lordships, and thus to evade a legal arrest. It would always be the better course for the officer to attend with his prisoner before the Committee, because no injury would then be done to any party and no responsibility incurred. The LORD CHANCELLOR entirely concurred with his Noble and Learned Friend. He would state for the in formation of the parties that the order would extend so far as to enable Mr. Spry to return home without obstruction, but after that its protection would cease. Lord BROUGHAM said that, in addition, he would strongly recommend Mr. Spry to go home by the shortest way, and without any delay. The motion was then agreed to, and Mr. Spry ordered to be discharged from custody. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The annual benefit of Signor Puzzi took place last night. The performances were of a wholly miscellaneous character. The first act of. Semiramide led the way, in which Madame de la Grange and Didlle. Angri were the representatives of the heroine and Arsace ; followed by an act of the Sonnambula, with Cruvelli ; and the condensed version of Gnecco's Prova d'un Opera Seria. Besides these operatic fragments, there was a wholesale supply of dancing, in which department the accomplished Rosati was the leading name. THE ROYAL PRINCESS'S TnEATRE.—IIer Majesty, as will be seen by the Court Circular, honoured this theatre with her presence last night. Her Majesty's visit was for the purpose of witnessing Mr. Lovell's new play, the Trial of Love. The play was presented as second piece, as her Majesty was not able to arrive at the theatre so early as seven o'clock. FRENCH PLAY.—ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Fanny Howard, the Baroness de Speth, Lord James Mur ray, and the Hon. Thomas Bruce, honoured the French plays with her presence last evening. NEW BEETHOVEN CONCERT ROOMS.—Last night the distinguished violinist and composer, Molique, com menced a series of classical chamber concerts at the New Beethoven Rooms. The first part opened with Spohr's Quartett in E fiat, op. 58, which was admirably played by Molique, Messrs. M e ll on an d Hill, an d Signor Piatti ; the part terminating with a new sona t a , by the beneficiare, for the pianoforte and vi o li n — a wor k qu i te wor thy of the fame of the author, the th ree movements a b oun ding in the best traits and devices of a mind cultivated to the highest possible point. Halle was the worthiest associate that Molique could have had in the labours of interpretation, and the effect was exquisite. The former gentleman, later in the evening, gave a close and brilliant reading of Mendelssohn's presto scher zando in F sharp minor. The remainder of the concert consisted of Spohr's duet in G minor, for two violins; and Molique's quartett in B fiat, op. 42, which was executed with matchless taste and neatness by the same artists . who were entrusted with the quartett by Spohr. A pair of German lieder, sung by Miss Stabback, relieved the instru mentalisms of the first part. The attendance of visitors was numerous and fashionable. HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.—MIBB BINFIELD WLL LIADI's MORNING CONCERT.—We were happy to see so large and fashionable an audience yesterday to support this very talented young lady. The programme exhibited a consider able display of vocal ability, as well as the selection of music, which consisted of trios, duetts, songs, &c., from the most eminent composers. Among those which called forth the greatest applause we maymention a rondo in E minor, Men delssolm, executed with admirable taste and execution by Miss B. Williams; a cavatina, Miss Bassano, who gave this charming subject great expression and effect. Mr. Peed was also much applauded for Beethoven's splendid scena Adelaide. The instrumentalists on this occasion were Miss Bintield Williams, pianist; M. Santcr., violinist; Mr. John Thomas, harpist. M. Santon gave a solo and also accompanied Miss B. Williams in a duett, both of which evinced great cower and execution, and called forth rapturous applause. All the other parts were admirably tilled, and the concert on the whole exhibited much talent and good taste in all the arrangements. WILLIS'S Roopv.—Last Wednesday Allidanin tJo Lozano gave a morning concert at the above rooms to a very select and fashionable company. This accomplished artist was ably supported by Madame Evelina Garcia, Miss Her mann, Kerr Standigl, Mr. De Munck, Mr. Kuhe, Herr Laub, Mr. Tourneur, and Signor Pilotti. Madame de Lozano was most warmly applauded throughout, and the last, a Spanish song, was most enthusiastically encored. Madame Garcia sang with her usual spirit and purity. Herr Staudigl was greatly applauded in Schubert's Der Wanderer," and Mr. De Munck exquisitely performed solo on the violoncello, executing his own composition, of which the melody and the intonation were most beautiful. Miss Hermann, Mr. li.uhe, and Herr Laub also received Bauch applause. THE SHARE MAAKETS. Railways. Aberdeen per erer l : ird o .oc o eil L an7 . p t .8 1%14 ir. d p p. Amb., Not., Bost. & E.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were es timated at 5,000 bales, including 1,500 for export and on speculation. The market closed tamely.—Railway Shares were very active, at higher pri ces . The expected increase in the amount of bullion in the Bank of England during the week, to the 12th instant, has been realised, and there is a reduction of note issues at the same time, owing to the increase in the banking balances of depositors. A return of loans made upon Government securities, for we can hardly think the Bank had been a seller of stock, likewise threw back paper upon the establishment. In the discounts there had been an augmentation. Compared with the previous week, the changes are as follow— Notes Issued Increase ...

Au account of the number and tonnage of ships, British built, gives the total for 1851 at 152,563 tons against 262,483 tons in 1850; but this deficiency is appare n t, not real, inasmuch as the r eturns have not yet been re ceived from the plantations whet . e last year 124,010 tons were built. The number of British ships trading be tween the United Kingdom and the East Indies and China was is 1851, 590 of 32,697 tons. In the foreign trade there were 1,106,991 tons of British sailing ships, and 342,362 tons of British steamers; o f foreign sailing vessels 655,281 tons, and of foreign steamers 65,688 tons. The exports of bullion from London direct during the week to last Thursday were 186,280 ou eces o f s il ver, mostly to Bombay and Rotterdam, and 518 ounces of gold coin to Havre, and 4,000/. to Sydney. The accounts from the textile manufacturing districts are satisfactory, and there is a good demand for fabrics. The English Stoc k Market has been ver y buoyant , and prices are up agai n.

It appears from a comparison of the speed and fares of the express trains upon These railways that the speed of the fastest train between London and Bristol on the Great Western is 43 talks ner hour, end on the London and North-Western, between London and Birmingham , 40 miles per hour; the difference in favour of the former company being three milessr hour. The speed of all the mixed ttains between Lo p ndon and Plymeuth, and Landon and Liverpool, is 35 miles per hoar on the Great Western, and 361 m il es per hour on the L on don end North-Western b r i ng ono mile per h our in favour of the hitter. The average fares per m il e on i the Great Western are—far first class, 3 . 068 d., and for second class, 2.5021.; while on the Loudon and North- Western the average is, fur first class, 2.6761, and for second class, 2.l7Bd.—showing a difference in favour of a passenger travelliug by the London and North-Wester n Railway of, 0.392 d. for first class, and 0•324 d. for second class. A comparison of the time occupied and fare charged on a journey of 246; 3 , miles on both lines, shows a diff‘ retie° iu time in favour of the London ev e North-Western of 34 minutes by a fi rs t c l ass t ra in. a nd of 12 minutes by a mixed train; and also at the same time a eavini of Bs. 10. for that distance by the first class, and of 6s. 81 by the second class, the fares on the Great Western Railway for the first class being 635., and for second class 50s. 6d.; whi le on Ono London and North-Western the fare for the first class is 548. 11d., and for the second dais, 435. 101. By the snail trains the average speed per hour is 25 miles on the Great Western and 28 miles per hour on the.

The average fares per mile on the former railway amount to 2.7241. for first class, and 1•867 d. for second class; while on the latter railway they amount to 9 .419 d. for first class' and 1 . 775 d. for second class, showing a difference in favour of tho latter of 0.315 d. for first class, and 0•692 d. for second class.

CABINET COUNCIL THIS DAY).—The Ministers assembled in Council this afternoon at one o'clock, at the Foreign-cffice. There were present—The Earl of Derby (Premier), the Earl of L ons d a le, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Hardwicke, Lord John Manners, the Right Hon. Mr. Henley, the Lord Chancellor, Mr. Herries, Mr. Secre tary Spencer Walpole, the Ri g ht Hon. Sir John Pakington, the Earl of Malmesbpry, anfl the Duke of Northumberland. A considerable and select number of persons have met for several evenings at Willis's Rooms, St. James's, to hear a series of lectures by Mr. Carter Lee, and witness, by way of accompaniment, certain " shadowy" illustrations by Alfred Crowquill, the whole entertainment being announced under the title of " Sketches and Scratches." Its maul subject, and we might say pretest, is music; its object to inform, perform, and reform; the end kept in view by the lecturer to amuse. Thus, we had plenty of advice, censure, and remarks, as to what music is, and as to what it should or should not be ; anecdotes of musicians of all ranks, classes , and denominations ; the violi n , th e fl u te, the concertin a rivalling each other in the lecturer's hands; funny adven tures, curious characters, and a superabundance of puns, good, bad, and indifferent; and if the audience was not always in a roar, they were at least in uninterrupted good humour. On one point alone we perhaps differ from gr. C. Lee. That the su c ce ss w hi c h h as atten d e d t h e e xertions of such men as John P a r r y , Albert Smith, and oth ers led to the present attempt, may f a i r ly be as sumed ; now, we sc arce l y t hi nk t h at the gen; tlemen whom Mr. C. Le e i n t ro d uces i n " shadowy forms to his audience, are one and all fit subjects for illus tration, and we venture to question the propriety of his per sonalities, however harmless, to brother musicians, brother lecturers, and brother exhibitionists. This point reserved, we were much pleased w ith his budget of eccentricities , hi s performances on the pi ano , t h e violin, the flute, and the con certina, of which instruments he proved himself a perfect. master. His style i s goo d , his delivery rapid, his actil3o.n forcible, his dep or t ment gent l eman l y , an d w hile 13 " Sketches" went o ff w i t h sp i r i t, hi s " Pi c t or i a l di s solutions elicited a good deal of laughter. Wishing him, therefore, every success, and recommending his "Sketches" to all lovers of fan c y, f un an d f ro li c, we advise our friends, ere this season—now rapidly drawing to a close—has actually closed upon them, to hear Mr. Carter Lee's notions of the " Close of the Season," as sung by him in the course of his " Sketches and Scratches," whose evolutions and dissolutions are not intended, we understand, to extend beyond the pre sent month. GUY'S BOAT CLun.—This afternoon at five o'clock the members of the Guy's Hospital Boat Club row their an nual scratch match from Putney to Mortlake, for the pre sentation prizes awarded by Dr. Lever, one of the principal physicians to the above named institution, which consists . of silver oars and rudder of exquisite workmanship. The priz e will be contended for by three crews in four-oared cutters with their respective steersmen. CRICKET.—AT Loon's,—Marylebone Club and Ground against the University of Cambridge. This match was finished yesterday, the University winning by five wickets. THE ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF THREE LIVES AT ROTHERHITIIE.—Yesterday (Friday) afternoon, Mr. \Va han' Carter, the coroner for Surrey, opened an inquest at the White Lion public-house, Princes-stairs, Rotherhithe, on the respective bodies of Mrs. Lydia Whitlock, aged 25, Isa bella Whitlock, aged 1 year, and Mary Ann Castle, aged 40, the three unfortunate persons who perished through the sinking of a monkey-boat, off Caen's-wharf, Rotherhithe, on Tuesday night last. Some particulars of this lamentable occurrence appeared in our journal of Thursday last. The jury having viewed the bodies, which were lying in the adjoining dead-house, they returned to the inquest-room, and re.urneda verdict in each case of " Accidental death." COMMON LAW REFORMS.—The Bill to abolish cer tain offices and fees in the common law courts, as amended by the House of Commons, was on Thursday printed. The Megmra has just accomplished a wonderful passage from the Cape. It will remain recorded as a proud fact in the annals of the Admiralty, that this gallant ship has at length completed the run in only twice the time taken by an ordinary commercial steamer. The Hellespont sailed a fortnight after the Megeera, and arrived about a fortnight before her. The total time occupied by the com mercial steamer was thirty-five :days—her Majesty's screw steamer took sixty-one days to accomplish the same distance. This may be considered as a triumph. We invite attention, however, to the performances of an emigrant sailing-ship, the Bride, Captain Nattrars, which made the passage from Plymouth to Port Philip in seventy-five days, that is to say, , ,in only fourteen days more than that occupied by her Majesty's steam-ship Megmra in the run home from the Cape. The Bride -a mere sailing ship—reached the Cape on her outward voyage in forty-four days ; the Me gwra, with steam power, accomplished the homeward run in sixty-one days. This, however, may be considered a great success for the Admiralty.— Times. THE CASE or MR. MURRAY. —lt appears by a letter received from the uncle of Murray, living in the Mor nington-rcad, from Mr. Moore, the British Consul at An cona, that he does not expect that the extreme penalty of the law will be inflicted on Murray, whom he considers in nocent or the dreadful crime imputed to him. He adds that the universal voice in Ancona is against him, and that he stands singular in his opinions regardmg him, which has led to many hot disputes with the local authorities and others. He thinks Murray has been very imprudent, and his im prudence has led to the present deplorable results. He con siders his life perfectly safe now, but how far he can proceed in demanding his liberation he does not yet know, for the fact of his having been a paid agent of the Papal police du ring the revolutionary turmoil in the country weakens his hands in defending him. Mr. Freeborn, the British Consul at Rome, also writes :—My private opinion is, that Murray's sentence will be commuted, his life saved, and ultimately his liberty obtained, but unfortunately he has brought him self into his present perilous situation by acts of the most reprehensible imprudence.
