They are two stories in height, each floor having three rooms, a n d their style of build has a most pleasing effect. At present the range is confined to twelve dwellings, but it is pro posed to increase them to as many again. LONDON, SECULAR INSTRUCTION ANALYSIS OF THE BILL TO ESTABLISH FREE SCHOOLS IN ENGLAND AND WALES, FOR SECULAR INSTRUCTION, AS PRO POSED BY THE NATIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOL ASSOCIATION. Clause Act, 18 1 givse2.,,sa title to the Bill, as " The Nat ional School Clause 2 to 5 inclusive, provide a " Board of Educa tion" under the Crown, to be composed of three persons, the two junior members being ineligible for Parliament; they are to obtain from time to time, information of the educational state of this and other countries, and to re port annually to Parliament, throagh the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and they are also to carry this Act into execution. The salaries of the members of the Board aro left to be filled in by Parlia ment. Clause 6 prescribes the mode of action to be adopted by the Board. They or their Inspectors are to visit such places as shall by them be deemed necessary, or where invited by a memorial from a majority of the ratepayers, to constitute " School Districts," which may be com posed of a city, borough, parish, or any other existing boundary, or a part of or a combination of the same; the creation of every such district to be advertised in the London Gazette. But a majority of the ratepayers of any such district memorialising against it, will prevent the Act taking effect for two years after any such memorial. Clauses 7 and 8 provide for the election of a School Committee, out of the ratepayers of each district, to be chosen after the manner of the poor-law guardians, ex cept that every ratepayer will have a vote, and no rate payer more than one vote; one half of the Committee to retire each year, eligible, however, to re-election. Clause 9 makes the Committee a corporation capable of ac quiring acid holding property. Clauses 10, 11, and 12, give the committee power to hire or purchase existing school-rooms, reserving the right of existing trustees to their use for purposes of re ligious instruction, when not in use for secular instruc tion under the Act; power to purchase land, and to erect new school-rooms, teachers' dwellings, Sze., to be paid for in one year, or spread over twenty years. Clause 13 gives power to appoint a treasurer and se cretary. Clauses 14 and 15 provide for the establishment of four classes of schools, viz., infant, day, evening, and induatrial schools, with right of free admission to all, under certain restrictions to ensure order and system. Thus in cases of crime and gross insubordination, the committee have power to refuse admission, and admis sion to the industrial schools is to be by order of a ma gistrates Clause 16 enacts that neither doctrinal religion, nor anything in favour of or opposed to the peculiar tenets of any sect of Christians, shall be taught or enforced in any of the schools, and it gives a power of appeal against any breach of this rule. Clauses 17 and 18 give power to appoint and remove masters and teachers, to select school books, and to pre scribe courses of instruction; to appoint visitors to com municate with apathetic parents, so as to induce a ge neral compliance with the system. Clauses 19, 20, and 21 provide for the sustentation of existing schools under their present managers, on con dition of their conforming to the terms of the Act with regard to doctrinal religion, so that dissentients from their creed may attend the schools without violation of conscience. Clause 22 excludes ministers of religion from sa laried offices. Clauses 23 and 24 provides for raising school rates after the manner of poor-rates for the support of the schools to be sat up or maintained, and with like powers of appeal. Clauses 25 and 26 provide for the annual publication of accounts, and for reports to the Board of Education, by district school committees, and trustees in union. Clauses 27 and 28 provide for the appointment of ho norary examiners, who, in conjunction with inspectors appointed by the Board of Education, are to hold sit tings in each county, for the examination of masters and teachers, to whom they ere to give or refuse certificates. Clauses 23 and 30 enact that the Board shall esta blish and support normal schools for the training of teachers, such school; being subject to the same rules with regard to the teaching of doctrinal religion as the day schools ; and school committees are to save power to assist meritorious pupils in their expenses at the nor mal schools, and to present them from their own districts. Clauses 31 and 32 provide for the appointment of in spectors by the Board of Education, whose expenses, together with those of the honorary examiners, and of the normal schools, are to be paid out of the Consoli dated Fund. Clause 33 provides that the Act may be amended this session. NE W ASSURANCE OFFICES.

In the Second was elected by a narrow Chamber C m h a Ij a no m r ti b I Lit e ye r Count, ofs6e eo overn d M. er the retirement of the . Minister of War, General Von Stockhausen, was an nounced ; a communication was also read from the Minister of Finance, statin g that the Government did not intend to lay before the House any account of the administration of the finances for the present year ; that an account of the expenditure of 1849 and 1850 in excess of the estimates of those revenues would be presented during the present session (this document was laid on the table before the sitting of the day terminated), but that the general report of the expen diture of 1850 might be produced in the next session, after it bad undergone examination by the Chief Court of Audit. The message was given over to the General Committee on the Budget. The Prussian Finance Minister has published the following decree regulating the income-tax : " According to the 17th Article of the Law of the Ist of May, 1851, Prussian s u bj ec t s are exempted from in come-tax, in respect of any p ro perty in land they may hold in other countries, if t h e y can produce proofs that the said property is in t h ose c ountries subjected to a similar tax. According to the 21 paragraph of the same article, foreigners are assessed to the classified income-tax, if they have resided iI Prussia for more than one year, or if th e y aro resident in it fur purposes of gain. In respect to such foreigners the law has not specifically repeated the general principles of the 17th Article -, but there is no doubt that foreigners who may be assessed to the income-tax on account only of their residence in the Prussian State, aro not to be more unfa vourabl y treated than Prussian subjects, and therefore th e other provi sion of the 17 th Article is also to b e a pp lied to them, income beyond th a t e n x e e i m th p e t r io fo n r b P e reuxssteianndesdubjteoctasnnyor for foreigners can &c., cannot be o ther countries, the B th u e t der Tprho eifivtiesndtoeffrreocsmot commercial on capital landed ii at alplurocipadeverretsty‘a,t invested n o gi s ie sa e d out of Prussia. ex empted from the Prussian income-tax because the pos sessors are already liable to the same tax in other states—England, Austria, and Bavaria. " TUE MINISTER OF FINANCE." The Rostock Gazette, under date of Frankfort, 30th ult., says :—" The general s ubject of conversation here is a scene which took place in the sitting of the Germanic Diet yesterday, between two diplomatists, the Prussian and Austrian Ministers, who made use of such violence against each other that their col leagues were thrown into consternation. The confu sion was so great that it was heard in the adjoining houses. Different versions as to the origin of it are given." It has already been stated that the Assembly of Citizens of Bremen had refused to consent to the revision of the Constitution of 1848, and that the Senate had appealed to the Diet of Frankfort. A letter from Frankfurt says it is expected that the Diet will decide in favour of the Senate, and that Hanover will be charged by the Diet to send troops to Bremen to occupy the city and enforce the decision. The police of Berlin have prohibited the sale by the booksellers of that city of several works, amongst which are mentioned the two volumes entitled, " Writings and Memoirs of Robes p ierre." The Cologne Gaze tte has the followin g f rom Berlin, 2d inst.:—" Oar Government has, in a cir cular to the members of the Zollverein, expressed e mbers of the Zollverein on the ed its opinion on the invitation given by the Austrian Cabinet to send plenipotentiaries to the Congress of i n n o no way influenced by Vienna.

(Before Mr. C. WATERFIELD, Registrar.) TUE STOURBRIDGE AND ➢ROMSGROVE BANKS.--IN RE RIIFFORD AND WRAGGE. Courts were held at Stourbridge on Tuesday and at Bromsgrove yesterday, according to appointment, for the proof of debts under these bankruptcies. The ar rangements were made with the view to obviate incon venience and expense to creditors holding the notes of these establishments. Mr. Harward, solicitor, of Stourbridge, was in at tendance for the assignees. The only question of any importance which arose was with regard to proofs tendered by the treasurers and trustees of certain benefit and friendly societies, who claimed to be paid in full of their securities. It was objected that they were only entitled to receive the divi dend of an individual creditor. This point has been fre quently discussed, and various decisions have been given by the Commissioners of Bankruptcy. M r . Waterfield u l t i ma t e ly resolved to receive the proofs, subject, upon the point in dispute, to an argument and d ec i s i on i n t h e Court at Birmingham, which he fixed for the 24th of January. The proofs at Stourbridge on Tuesday amoun t e d to 14,000/, and of this sum there was one deposit debt of upwards of 10,0001. The rest was in issue notes. The proofs at Bromsgrove yesterday were between 4,0001. and 5,000/. As far as the investigation into the affairs of these establishments have proceeded they afford little evidence as to their ultimate assets. The probability_is that the dividend will be extremely small. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 8. (Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.) :IN RE MICHAEL GASMAN. This insolvent, a dealer in iron in Cowcross, West Smithfield, was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on the part of several creditors; Mr. Sargood supported. The casu occupied the whole day, and was adjourned for further evidence until the 15th instant. We defer our report until the case is concluded. IN RE JAMES ROBERTSON ANDERSON. In this case of Mr. Anderson, the late lessee of Drury lane Theatre, a sitting for proof of debts was held, and a number of creditors attended. Mr. Sullivan claimed to prove for 2301. for 23 repre sentations of a comedy called the Old Love and the New, which was resisted on the part of Mr. Robertson, and the proof was ultimately adjourned for the attendance of that gentleman. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. THE MURDER AT M ARYLE BONE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. BALLA.NTINE addressed the jury for the defence at great length, and insisted that there were circum stances in the case which gave it more the complexion of manslaughter than murder, and he therefore called upon them to find the prisoner guilty of the minor offence only. The L earned JUDGE carefully summed up the whole of the evidence, and left it for the jury to determine whether the prisoner in killing his wife bad been ac tuated by a malicious feeling, or that the violence which produced the death was the result of premeditation and malice aforethought, as the law described the spirit which actuated a murderer. Mr. 13ALLANTINE, at the close of his Lordship's sum ming up, said he had omitted to examine some witnesses who were in attendance to speak to the prisoner's character, and he asked, as a matter of indulgence, that he should now be permitted to do so. Mr. Baron PLATT said that, in a case of this descrip tion, although it was out of the ordinary course, the witnesses might be examined. Several persons who had known the prisoner a great many years were accordingly called as witnesses, and they described the prisoner as being a quiet, humane, well-conducted man. The jury reared at 20 minutes to 5, and did not re turn until 6 o'clock, when they returned their verdict, declarinc , the p risoner Guilty of m anslaughter. Mr. Baron PLATT immediately proceeded to pass sen tence. He said that the prisoner bad been found guilty by a most considerate and most merciful jury of the crime of mans! lughter, and it was now the duty of the Court to pass a. sentence upon him such as would mark its sense of the character of his offence, and afford an example to °tilers likely to deter them from the com mission of a crime. Upon what grounds the jury bad rest , 3.l their verdict it was not for him to in quire. It wits the province of the jury to decide upon tee facts, and whatever might be the opinion of the great majority of the hearers of the evidence in the present case u pon that subject, the Court must act upon the verdict of the jury alone. It was impossible not to see, however, the enormity of the offence he had com mitted. lloh had destroyed in the most barbarous man ner the wife of his bosom, whom ho had sworn to protect and cherish, and this he had done, as it would appear, without any real motive whatever. It was true he had endeavoured to suggest that she had been unfaithful to his bed, but it was duo to the memory of the unhappy woman to state that there did not appear by the evi dence to be any ground for the accusation, although there was too ranch reason to believe that jealousy had been the cause of the crime, and that his expression when he heard of the death of his unhappy wife, that " now he was at rest," clearly showed that he was actu ated by a feeling of deadly revenge. The Court, under these circumstances, felt bound to show that such an oft-nce could not escape with entire impunity by pass i ng upon him the sentence that he be transported beyond the seas for the term of his natural life. This case concluded the business of the session; the trial of Davis and Heilbron, for a fraudulent bankruptcy and conspiracy, and several others being postponed, and the Court adjourned to Monday, February 2, ----- The Treviso and Udine Railway is to be com menced in the month of March.

Elizabeth Matthews, a dissipated young woman, 1455 charged with breaking a window, and smashing a gold watch worth 101., the property of Robert Hee les, land lord of the Craven Head, in Drury-lane, and more gene rally know as the Norfolk giant. The enormous dimensions of the complainant, who is said to be seven feet six inches in height, and upwards of 35 stone weight, attracted a considerable crowd to the court—being, in fact, the only point of interest in the case. It was proved that the defendant became disorderly in the house, and refused to pay for some liquor with which she had been supplied. After she had broken a window, an attempt was made by the complainant to eject her From the premises, upon which she snatched his wa . ch from his waistcoat and dashed it to pieces. The defendant, who appeared penitent, paid 2s. 6d,, the cost of the window; and Mr. HALL referred the "giant" to the County Court for the recovery of the more serious damages. MAR YLEBONE. Yesterday George Lawrence, a porter, and Thomas Green, a shoemaker, were brought before Mr. Long, on the charge of having conspired together to defraud the London and North-Western Railway Company of 6s. 4d., being the amount of a third-class fare from London to Peterborough, Mr. Beresferd, superintendent of the company's police, was present during the proceedings, which excited some degree of interest, inasmuch as the selling of return tickets has, on the line in question, been carried on to a considerable extent. Crofts, 616 (one of the railway constables) said— This morning, at a quarter to seven, as I was on the platform at the Euston Station, I was spoken to by a gentleman, and in consequence of what he said I went into the vestibule, where I saw Lawrence speaking to another man. They presently came into the hall, and while there Green and Lawrence conversed with each other. I saw Lawrence pass a ticket to Green, and they both went through on to the platform, when Green took his seat in a third-class carriage, Lawrence remaining at the carriage-door. Suspecting that there was somethinu wrong, I communicated what I had seen to Mr. Spen cer, the station-master, and the prisoners were given into custody. Mr. Spencer said—l saw Green enter the carriage, and, observing Lawrence standing close to it, I asked him if ho was going by the train, to which he replied that he was not, and that be had merely come to see a friend off. I demanded to see Green's ticket, and on his showing it to me I inquired of him how he became possessed of it, but he refused to five me an answer. I ordered him out of the carriage, and sent a policeman to look for Law rence, who was speedily brought back, and he and Green were then given in charge. Mr. Spencer produced the ticket, which was a "re turn" one, delivered at Peterborough for "London and back." Inspector Sibsey, railway officer, said, the prisoners were brought to me, and I asked Lawrence what he knew of the ticket, when he told me that he had paid for it at Peterborough, but that wishing to stop a few days longer in London, he had sold it to Green for 2s. 6d. Green admitted that such was the fact, and was not aware that he was doing anything wrong in making the purchase. Lawrence. on being asked by Mr. LONG what he had to say, replied, " I thought I could do as I liked with my own ticket;" and Green said, " I did buy it of him, as I was going to Northampton, and thought that upon producing it there it would be all right." Inspector Sibsey said that the ticket would not have been received at Northampton, as it was a return one for Peterborough. The MAGISTRATE examined the ticket, and remarked that upon it were the words, " This ticket to be firfeited it transferred;" adding, that there was nothing in the Act which would empower him to inflict a penalty for such transferring or selling a ticket. The question was simply this—was there a guilty intention on the part of the prisoners or not? He was of opinion, taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration, that there was no evil intent, and that no conspiracy to de fraud had been mode out. " If," said Mr. Long (ad dressing Superintendent Berestord), " you wish to press the case—and I must say I think you ought not to do so —I shall put only a small penalty, under 8 Victoria, c. 20, sec. 103, for attempting to travel by your railway without having previously paid the proper fare.'" Mr. Beresford remarked that, attending as he did on behalf of the company, and knowing that similarly fraudulent practices sad for a long period been carried on, he must press for a conviction. Mr. Loma—Then I shall fine Green ls. Lawrence will be discharged. WORSHIP-STREET. Charles Dean. whose right name is supposed to be Holman, Mary Dean, his wife, and Henry Hawkes and Elizabeth James, four well-dressed persons, were charged with coining. The officers in charge of the case produced several baskets, one of them a hamper, completely filled with the implements and adjuncts of false coining, comprising several electroplating batteries, files, metal, ladles and crucibles, and eight or nine bottles containing sulphuric and other acids usually employed by such persons in car rying on their operations. The first case taken was against the two Deans, in which Inspector Brennan of the G division, stated that, in consequence of receiving directions from the authoriti , s of the Mint to that effect, he, accompanied by Sergeant Jackson and other officers, proceeded, between twelve and ens o'clock that morning to the house No. 8, Thrawl street, Spitalfields, into which, with much difficulty, they succeeded in effecting an entrance, and, having di vided themselves into two parties, he, Jackson, and others made their way as qaietly as possible to a room on the second floor, which he knew to be occu pied by the prisoners. The door of this room they found to be strongly secured on the inside, and, as it was important to detect the prisoners in the fact, if pos sible, Sergeant Jackson, who had provided himself be forehand with a sledge-bammer, instantly dashed in one of the pannels, and witness, on looking through the aperture so made, saw the female prisoner standing be fore a strong coke fire, and lifting off it an iron ladle con • taining metal in a state of fusion, which, upon hearing the noise produced by smashing the panne', she dropped out of her hand, and the metal was spilt on the hearth. Upon again trying to force the door they discovered that it was fastened beyond their reach by a ponderous piece of timber nearly as thick as a man's leg, which, as it was impossible to remove it otherwise, they also broke in two with the sledge-hammer, and, upon at length ob taining access to the room, they found the male prisoner jumping with all his weight upon a plaster mould, then reduced to a powder, but still hot, and among the pieces a new-made shilling, evidently just cast in it. Both prisoners were immediately secured, and on proceeding to search the place they discovered a complete galvanic battery, which had been recently charged, the broken fragments of moulds, bearing the impressions of half crown and shilling pieces, a quantity of metal, and all the other implements and materials necessary for the manufacture of counterfeit money. Upon the mantel piece also was discovered one base halfcrown dated 1829, and on subjecting the person of the male prisoner to an examination, they found in his pockets no less than 21 counterfeit shillings, and three more halfcrowns, all in an unfinished state, and so recently cast that many of them were still warm. Sergeant Jackson corroborated the inspector's evi dence, and added that, upon finding herself in custody, the female prisoner burst into a violent flood of tears, upon which her husband consoled her with the observa tion, " Don't cry, Mary; it's a very bad job, but it can not be helped, and the most they can do to me is to give mo two stretches' for being in possession" (meaning two years' imprisonment); and then turning to the wit ness he expressed his readiness to go with him, saying, L's only your duty, I know, and of course we can't help it." In the second case, against Hawkes and James, Ser geant Checkley. of the H division, stated, that while the other body of officers proceeded upstairs, ho and some more effected an entrance into a room upon the ground floor, tenanted by the prisoners, and on getting in were told by the male prisoner that they would find nothing there that they were in search of. Upon searching the place, however, they discovered a large coke fire burning, as in the other case, and a large quantity of ceining implements and materials, including a galva nic battery, charged and fit for use, the metal in readi ness for melting, and a quantity of acids employed for the sum© purpose. The male prisoner was without his coat, but with a double pair of trousers on, as was usually the case with coiners when engaged in such practices, and both he and the woman, together with the apparatus, were transferred to the station. The male prisoner Dean denied that his wife had been in possession of the melted metal, as described by the officers, at the time of their forcing an entrance; but the others considsred it most prudent to reserve their de fence, and the whole were committed until that day week for the attendance of the Mint Solicitor to com plete the prosecution.

HUNGARIAN REFUGEE. Yesterday an inquest wes held before Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., and a reEpectaSle jury, at the Yorkshire Gri y Tavern, Foley-pi:co, Mary lehone, on view of the body of the Baron Farkas Kemeny, aged 63, formerly a colonel in the Hungarian service, whose death occurred under the awful and melancholy circumstances subjoined. The deceased, who had distinguished himself as a soldier, had :ought under General Bern, and once, while defend ing the bridge of Piske, in Transylvania, with 2,000 men and seven guns, is said to have defeated 14,000 Austrians and 30 guns. Mr. John Prohetzki, proprietor of the Hungarian fur dep6c, No. 12, Foley-place, stated that the deceased Baron had for about twelve months occupied apartments in his house, in the general enjoyment of good health and spirits. Between ten and eleven o'clock on Monday morning last deceased returned home from posting a letter, and joining witness in his counting house, conversed with him, but not in his usual manner, there seeming to be something on his mind. Shortly afterwards deceased's secretary entered the passage, and deceased followed him up stairs, but scarcely had five minutes elap...ed before the secretary came running to witness saying, "The baron has fainted." Witness returned with him, and found the de *eased lying on the drawing-room floor insensible. Having procured some water to bathe his face and tem ples, he sent his wife for Mr. G e ld are l, a surgeon i n th e neighbourhood, who immediately after his arrival pro nounced him to be dead. The deceased had lately ap peared very dull. Sigismund Vekey stated that he was secretary to the late baron, who had latterly been much excited by letters appearing in the public newspapers, which he considered personal to himself, and injurious to the Hun garian cause. signed " Toulmin Smith." On Sunday afternoon last he went to Highgate, with the baron's knowledge and approval, to see Mr. Smith, and point out the mischief of such communications, when that gen tleman said that he should pursue the theme, bat not so much against the baron as against the Hungarians, and on his return to town in the evening he visited the de ceased, and repeated the conversation. On Monday morning about ten o'clock he went to the deceased's, and on first seeing him sew that ho was more excited than he had ever before noticed. The baron quickly asked him if any articles appeared against him in that day's papers, to which he replied, " Yes, but no so strongly;" and the deceased, who stood before him, rejoined, " Bead it." Having the Daly News with him, in which a letter from Mr. Smith was inserted as an advertisement, and addressed to the editor, be commenced reading, but had not proceeded tar before the deceased fell forward on his (witness's) breast, and from thence on the floor, exclaim ing, " Oh, call for assistance." Being greatly alarmed, ho immediately fetched the last witness, by whom what further transpired has been explained. Mr. John Geldard, surgeon, No. 34, Great Portland street, said that be was called to attend the deceased, who seemed in a fainting state. He endeavoured to ad minister some stimulants, when deceased gasped once and expired. He had since made a post mortem exami nation of the body, and found the brain sound, but slightly congested. There was no effusion in the mem branes or ventricles, and no disease whatever existed. The lungs were healthy, and there was no extravasation or effusion of the pleura. In the pericardium he found lioz. of coagulated blood, which had escaped from the heart through a rupture in that organ, both ventricles and the valves of which, however, were in a perfectly healthy state. Death had resulted from the ruptura of the heart. The CORONER remarked that to him there never ap peared a clearer case in which a poor creature had died of a broken heart than that, and which verdict, had he been one of the jury, he should have felt bound to re turn. The deceased was anxiously listening to what was being read to him by his secretary, fearing and expect ing what might be ;presently raid applying to himself, his heart all the time beating violently, and making powerful efforts to get through its bonds, till at length it swelled and burst. He wished Mr. Smith had been present, although he could not be blamed for deceased's death, for thank God, the press of England was free, and he hoped never to see it otherwise; yet, although persons could write what they thought proper, they were liable if they violated the law. The jury, after some consultation, having unanimously expressed an opinion that the primary cause of deceased's death was a broken heart, returned the following ver diet :—" That the deceased died from the mortal effects of a rapture of the heart, end the jurors further say that the said rupture was caused by the sudden emotion of his mind by the reading of part of a letter which ap peared in the Daily News of the sth inst.
