olonel Stodare's New Magical Entertainment One of the best entertainments ever presented to the Public —and we say it with a full recollection of most of the conjurors that have appeared in London for many years past—is now being nightly given by Colonel Stodare in the Albert Smith Room at the ,gYptian Hall, Piccadilly. It is entitled " Magic an'l V entriloquism," and consists of two parts— the first part magical, in which apparatus and other Mechanical contrivances are entirely dispensed with ; and the second, a very clever admixture of vehtri- Nuism and magic. The neatness and dexterity of all Colonel Stodare's tricks is perfectly astounding, and Such as creates the utmost bewilderment. To all appearances we have a private gentleman fo An ' h is elegantly f urn i s h e d d raw i ng - room per rming tricks such as would defy the most accomplished conjuror to repeat, and all with out the slightest apparent aid. Combined with ,excellence, there is a perfect novelty in the enter tainment, because all the tricks are new to the plea sure --seekers of the metropolis, and we candidly confess each one seemed to us, last evening, to out rival its predecessor in perfection and ingenuity. It lined occupy t oo much space to give even an out o the m any ill us i ons performed, but the pro auction of beautiful flowering plants from an ap trentlY empty paper cone was perfectly puzzling. 'en, again, his performance . w ith the marked half wascro a perfect wonder, but the manner in I.° he managed t o convey a f u ll- grown l a dy ° 1 sight of the audience was one of the most re markable an d astonishing things ever accomplished 1 . 4 the metropolis. As a ventriloquist, Col. Stodare 18 , as good as h e is a conjuror, and we can confl uently recomme n d a v i s i t to the new enterta i nment, feeling assured that all who favour the Colonel with a C all will pass a pleasurable and delightful evening. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. ---r► - REIGA T E. ;There is little doubt that the Hon. Edmund John Mon -11, the candidate for the representation of this borough in ~rliarnent, will be unopposed at the next general election. 14...eneetipnrgesent member, Mr. Granville Leveson-Gower, at a of the electors, announced that it was not his in tention t Av again solicit the support of the electors, and Mr havin Wilkinson, who contested the borough with him, g died, there seems to be no opposition to Mr. Mon states The hon, gentleman has issued his address. He states—" M Y Principles are those which are universally ac l,i ce b e P r ted a "Mhudy . the olitical creed of that eat fare of 011 Ipa r rt y which i h n a g s done p so much to advance the gr wel country, by ex t en di ng t o every c l ass th e bless ings of civil and religious liberty." Although a Church eh 1 ; he declares himself in favour of the abolition of Urch raes, sale • considering them an injustice to all who con nticuslY dissent from the doctrines of the Church. Mr. Monson promises to explain his principles more fully at a Meeting of the electors, to be held at an early period. SALISBURY. • Ur ' I L Marsh issued an address to the electors on W "ieh a , turd aY evening, s t a ti ng t h at domest i c c i rcums t ances over he had no control render it necessary that he should Pala sh or t visit to his brother and his property in Aus ai: li e will not the re f ore b e present at the election, Which he says will take place in July, but he expresses his fma, "nee that the• electors will not " forget an absent The hon. member adds :—" My political opinions 7 l let now b e well known to you all, and I can only say thatd I shall not swerve from those principles of indepen erkee which it has been my pride to adopt." There is a probability of a close run, Mr. John Chapman, a 'nd Mr. E. H amilton, a brother of the bishop, being in the field. XONEY MARKET AN: , OuDIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCIE. The Money Market is showing easier symptoms to -day. The inquiry has not been very large, and capital being abundant, first-class paper has been negotiated at 3i per cent., with exceptional opera tions at 34 per cent. In the Stock Exchange loans ha ve been charged 21 and 3 per cent. 3) uring the last few days there has been an in creased business transacted in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have been in fai r demand at full rates, while a moderate amount of business has been done in coffee, rice, and tea at a n . I ner prices. I n tallow the dealings have been to ave rage extent f or b o th present consumpt i on an d on speculation, and quotations have shown an up- Ward movement. There were no bullion operations at the Bank Yesterday. The Lond on, from Melbourne, has arrived with 4 422,77 6. , - T he prosp ec t us has appeared of the London and .

The capital required is , 450 )000 in shares, of £25 each, and interest at the -at e of 6 per cent. is to be guaranteed f or th ree Years upon the amount paid up. itThe report of. the Asiatic Banking Corporation, b e Present e d on M ay 4 , states t h e ava i la b le ba ,_ince at £70 ,439, and recommends a distribution at t he rate of 20 per cent. per annum. The preliminary ex penses of £8,484 are to be extinguished, £5,500 to be added to reserve, which, from premiums on new shares, will amount, on the 30th of June next, to £175,000, and £6,455 will remain to be carried I° rWard.

The English Stock Market has been very ani mated and buoyant, and a rise of about i per cent. h aia taken place in the Funds. The improving state °f the produce markets, and the idea that a large expansion of trade will succeed the close of the American war, have contributed to the encouraging state of affairs Consols are 91k i for money, and 9 4 i for the account.

A PILFERER'S DEATH. —Yesterday Mr. W. J. Payne, the deputy-coroner of the City and Southwark, held an inquest at the Vestry-room in Horselydown on the body of John West, late a labourer at Fenning's-wharf, who came by his death in a terrible manner. Daniel Crummings stated that he was employed at Fenning's-wharf, and that on Friday last deceased came to him and asked if a "drop" could be got out of some casks which they both supposed contained brandy or wine. They both had a "suck at the monkey," as it was called, and while the witness was some- What burnt in the inside by what he took, the other man died in a few hours. Mr. Arkless, the Customhouse gauger, said the spirit in the cask sucked by deceased was pure Ham burgh spirit 66.8 over proof, and was, in fact, "liquid fire." It was shown by the evidence of Mr. Lacey, a sur geon, that death was caused by the collapse arising after taking an acrid poison, and a verdict to this effect was re turned. SALT.—The export of salt from the United King dom in the two months ending Feb. 28 this year amounted to 37,701 tons, as compared with 58,231 tons in 1864, and 54,728 tons in 1863 (corresponding periods.) The exports to Russia were 233 tons against 365 tons in the correspond ing period of 1864; to the United States, 8,578 tons against 11,547 tons; to British America, 2,449 tons against 1,222 tons; to British India, 10,144 tons against 23,284 tons; and to other countries, 16,295 tons against 21,813 tons. There was thus a decrease this year in the exports in all directions. The declared value of the salt exported to Feb. 28 this year was £18,308 against £26,508 in 1864, and £26,061 in 1863 (corresponding periods.) THE LATE ACCIDENT TO MR. HENRY HOARE.— We are glad to learn that Mr. B.enry Hoare (the well-known banker), who recently met with a serious injury, while travelling on the Great Eastern Railway, is making a fav ourable recovery. The immediate result of the accident Was a concussion of the brain, attended with very grave symptoms ; but we aro happy to say, on the authority of his medical attendants, that Mr. Hoare has now so far re covered as to be able to move about again. After such a severe shock to the system, however, it is not considered advisable that Mr. Hoare should engage in his ordinary occupations for some time.—Sussex Advertiser. MR. J. W. ANSON'S BENEFIT.—The annual benefit of Mr. J. W. Anson, treasurer of the Adelphi Theatre, has been fixed for Wednesday, the 3rd of May, and following evening. The claims of Mr. Anson upon the public and the profession renders it a wise arrangement to set aside two evenings for the occasion, because the Adelphi Theatre on one particular night would certainly be quite inadequate to accommodate the immense circle of friends he has secured by his urbanity and attention. Mr. Allsol2 has our best wishes for a double bumper, 11 13 1} 11, 3 .3.1 31 53 520 530 20 25 15 17 144 15 76 8) 6 8 574 42.3 180 190 100 103 30 35 11 13 20► 210 19 20 rIiErERENI Great Eastern, E.

There were some 200 passengers, none of whom seem to have been seriously hurt by the sudden stoppage ; but about a hundred guerillas immediately made their appearance, and relieved them of some 30,000 dollars in money, besides watches and rings, not to mention an exchange of hats and overcoats. Some military officers in the cars were required to surrender. The train was fired, with the exception of one car left for the shelter of the ladies, the night being wet. The fire, how ever, was soon extinguished, and a train procured from Cumberland, THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o,:Locx. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. EPSOM RACES-THIS DAY. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

The great mystery which has surrounded this dreadful murder ever since its perpetration in 1860 has at length been dispelled by the confession of the murderess, who proves to be no other than Miss Constance Emile Kent, half-sister of the murdered child. At four o'clock this afternoon, Miss Constance Emile Kent was placed before Sir Thomas Henry, the chief magistrate, charged, on her own confession, with the wil ful murder of Francis Saville Kent. She was attired entirely in black, and wore such a thickly-worked veil that her features were nearly entirely concealed. She made the confession at Brighton, and without resorting to the police authorities in that town she decided at once on proceeding to London, and there undergoing the 'first ex amination. She was accompanied to town by the Rev. Mr. Douglas, Superintendent Durkin of the F division, and Inspector Williamson, of the detective department, Scotland-yard, were present during the examination. Mr. Burnaby, having read over the charge to the priso ner, asked her whether her name was spelt Emily or Emile. Miss Kent (in a low and faltering voice)—lt does not matter which. Mr. Burnaby—You are charged on your own confession with the wilful murder of Francis Kent. The prisoner merely bowed her head slightly. The following evidence was then given The Rev. Mr. Wagner Douglas said—l am perpetual curate of St. Paul's Church, Brighton. I have known Constance Kent for nearly two years. She wasfirst intro duced to me for the purpose of being admitted into St. Mary's Hospital, at Brighton. She entered the institution about eighteen or twenty months ago, and has resided there ever since. Sir Thomas Henry—Has any persuasion boon used to induce the confession ? Mr. Douglas—None whatever. I offered no inducement for her to make the confession to me. Sir Thomas Henry—Then I take it that none was made ? Mr. Douglas—Quite so. So far from any inducement, I may say that, to the best of my belief, the confession she has made has been entirely of her own free will. It first came to my knowledge about a fortnight ago, and it was entirely her own proposition. Sho wished to confess and give herself up. It was at her own proposition that we came to London to enable her to surrender herself to the law. She stated to me that she, alone and unaided, on the night of the 29th of June, 1860, murdered, at Road Hill House, Wiltshire, one Francis Saville Kent. I never said anything to the prisoner to persuade her from confessing. She did everything of her own free will. I have been perfectly passive in the matter, feeling that she was doing the right thing. It is certainly her own free act. She thought of it herself, without any suggestions. This was all the evidence offered on this occasion. Sir Thomas Henry then cautioned the prisoner in the usual manner, and told her that whatever she said would be taken down in writing and used against her at her trial. Constance Kent, in replying, said, I wish it to be heard that I have done all of my own free will. I have been actuated by no persuasion. The piece of paper I now de liver is in my own handwriting. Tho paper was read by Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, and was as follows : "I, Constance Emile Kent, alone and unaided, on the night of the 29th of June, 1860, murdered, at Road-hill House, Wiltshire, one Francis, Saville Kent. Before the deed was done no one knew my intention, nor after of my guilt." , Sir Thomas Henry—Did any one assist you ? Prisoner—No. None assisted me in the crime. Sir Thomas Henry—Or assist you afterwards? Prisoner—Nobody assisted me in the evasion of my dis- covery. Sir Thomas Henry—l shall, on the evidence now before me, direct that you be taken to Wiltshire, in order that your final examination may be taken before the magistrates of that county. Sir Thomas Henry then directed Inspector Williamson to take charge of the prisoner and convey her that night to the Wiltshire gaol. On hearing the magistrate's decision the prisoner heaved a sigh and fell back in her chair, as if greatly relieved at the termination of this part of the proceedings. She was then led into an adjoining room, and having solicited a glass of water, with which she was supplied, a cab was drawn up to the door of the private entrance of the Court, into which she stepped, and, in company with Inspector Williamson, drove off to the railway station en route to Wiltshire. The examination took place in the magistrate's private room. The Health of the King of the Belgians. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) BRUSSELS, April 25.

Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that, on the second reading of this bill, he should move that it be referred to a select committee. EXHIBITION OF REFORMATORY CHILDREN. Mr. T. MILLER asked the Secretary for the Home De partment whether his attention had been called to a pro posed exhibition of Reformatory children to be held at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, on the 25th of May next, and whether it met with his sanction and approbation ? Sir G. GREY said his attention had not been directed to the matter until the hon. member placed his question on the paper. That morning he received by post a printed paper, which stated that it was to be an exhibition of the products of industrial schools, and it stated further, that a thousand of these children would attend and perform pieces of music on successive days. He agreed with what he understood to be the feeling of the hon. member, that it was highlyilinexpedient that children should be exhibited in the way proposed. He had addressed a letter to Mr. Turner, one of the in spectors, who said that no children from the reformatory schools would be allowed to attend, and that only the chil dren of industrial schools were contemplated by the pro moters of the movement. Mr. MILLER—From the Middlesex Industrial Schools. Sir G. GREY said they wore not reformatory schools under the control of the Government. _ OBSOLETE ACTS OF PARLIAMENT. In reply to Mr. HADFIELD, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he did not think he should be able to introduce a bill this session. GREENWICH HOSPITAL. Mr. CHILDERS moved for leave to bring in a bill to provide for the better government of tho Greenwich Hos pital, and the more beneficial application of the revenues thereof. The hon. gentleman explained for the future the hospital would be devoted exclusively to the use of infirm seamen, and to those in want of temporary medi cal assistance. The income of the institution was about £1.54,000, and the management of that fund would bo distinct from that of the management of the expenditure. The latter would be placed under the guardianship of the House of Commons, and a comptroller would be appointed to arrange the estates which would be vested in the Board of Admiralty. He estimated that there would be a surplus of £13,000 a year after the payment of expenses, pensions, &c., and that sum it was proposed should be allowed to accumulate. Mr. LIDDELL and Sir J. HAY gave their general approval of the scheme. (LEFT SITTING) LONDON GAZE rTE---This Evening. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, APRIL 24.

LAW INTELLIGENCE —(This Da: COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.) IN RE SIR EARDLEY GIDEON CULLING EARDLEY, BART. This bankrupt was described as late of Frogwen, Tun bridge Wells, and of the Albany, now of Florence, out of the jurisdiction of this Court. To-day was appointed for the last examination and order of discharge, but the bank rupt has filed no accounts. Amongst the creditors who have proved their debts are Mr. Hancock, for £540 ; Mr. William Thomas, for £1,099 ; Mr. H. Webber, £309 ; S. Wertheimer,' £1,073. There were several other creditors who had not proved, and the case was adjourned. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) THE COMPOSITORS OF THE LATE " MORNING MAIL."-- SHUTTLENVORTII V. FAULKENER. This was an applicatiOn to have 'out of court certain monies paid in by defendant. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the defendant, who was the publisher and registered proprietor of the late Morning ..11-ail, upon which paper the plaintiff had been a compositor. In the first instance an action was brought against the de fendant by two compositors named Eastman and Shuttle worth (the present plaintiff). They both obtained verdicts, and Mr. Buchanan applied for a new trial in the case now before the court. His Honour ordered find money claimed by plaintiff should be paid into court, with certain costs, and this being done, the new trial was to be tried on June 21 last year. Upon that day the plaintiff did not appear, and the case was struck out. Mr. Buchanan now asked- that, as the first order in plaintiff's favour was entirely gone, defendant should be allowed to have the money in court. His Honour was of opinion that defendant ought to give notice to the other side that this application would be made. Mr. Buchanan urged that this would lead to some incon venience. The only question before the Court was whether defendant was entitled to have the money. His Honour was induced to think he could make no order in the matter.. Application refused. THE LAW OF LANDLORD AND TENANT—REYNAU V. Cox. This was an action to recover the rent of a ready fur nished house. Plaintiff produced a written agreement, and defendant pleaded that he could not occupy the house. He stopped in it for one quarter and it was uninhabitable, had defective drainage, which led to very bad smells in the house, and the bedrooms were infested with bugs. His Honour ruled that not one of the defences was good in law. It had been expressly decided that even if a house were burnt down the tenant was liable in the rent. Verdict for the plaintiff. Defendant said he should appeal against this decision. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WILFUL MURDER OF A CHILD BY ITS MOTHER.—Eliza both Suter, about 23 years of age, formerly in service at 12, Northwick-terrace, Notting-hill, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the wilful murder of an infant female child, of which she was delivered in Marylebone Workhouse on the 17th of March. Mr. Tubbs, assistant overseer, attended to watch the case on the part of the Board of Guardians of Marylebone. Police-constable Charles Lloyd, 97 A, said—On Friday last I went to Mount-street workhouse, and saw a child. On its clothes was the name "E. Suter." I made inquiries, and at Marylebone Workhouse found that a female of that name had been confined there of a female child on the 17th of March, but had left. I afterwards made further inquiries, and this morning found the prisoner at Brompton. I told her I was a police-constable, and that I would taken her on suspicion of murdering her child by drown ing it in the Serpentine. I also told her that she need not say anything, but that what she did say would be used in evidence against her on her trial. She cried, and said every one was against her, and that she had made away with it, and that it was as much as she could do to keep from throwing herself into the water. She also said, in answer to her sister-in-law, who asked her why she did it, that a woman she took the child to would not have it, so she made away with it. _ _ By Mr. Tyrwhitt—She was living with her brother at Ann's-place, Brompton. .... ___ Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall remand the prisoner for a week, when the other witnesses can attend. Mr. Tubbs said—At the inquest the nurse would be able to identify the child from particular marks on the forehead, and that when the prisoner left the workhouse it was at her own request, and in opposition to the wishes of the chairman of the board of guardians. THAMES. STREET PREACHVG.—COrneIiRS M. O'Leary, an Irish man, with long beard and moustache and a very dirty face, appearing to have had no connection with soap and water for some time, was charged with being very drunk and dis orderly. Pople, 288 K, stated that yesterday evening about 500 persons were assembled at the end of Philpot-street, Com mercial-road, listening to an itinerant preacher, who was holding forth to the people. The prisoner came up and shouted and abused the preacher, and a regular disturb ance ensued. The prisoner was very drunk and disorderly, and his shouts were terrific, his language foul, and his de nunciations of Garibaldi and all heretics appalling. He took him into custody, and, after much trouble, locked him up. There were 700 persons around him. Mr. Paget—Yes ;he brought his own congregation with him. Was this last night or Sunday night ? Pople—Last night ; Monday, sir Mr. Paget—What became of the other preacher ? Pople—He went away, sir, with his friends, but the pri soner would not go. Mr. Paget—No, he wanted to make converts. (A laugh.) Inspector Griffin, of the K division, said that, since the fine weather had set in, the street preachers assembled every night at the end of Phi'pot:street, close to the Com mercial-road, which was a great public thoroughfare, and discussions, pocket-picking, and brawls had taken place. The inhabitants of the locality were getting up a memo rial to the Commissioners of Police to suppress the nuisance, but he intended to save them all further trouble, by going there himself with as many police-constables as might be required and preventing street preaching and the assemblage of people there. Mr. Paget—That is the proper course—stop it alto gether. Inspector Griffin—l will show no favour. I will serve them all alike. The prisoner said he was hard at work all day on a wharf, and was drinking hard in the evening. As he was passing the end of Philpot-street he heard a man preach ing, and commented upon it. His comments were not liked, and he was taken into custody. Mr. Paget said the prisoner had much better leave his commentaries for another place and not waste them in the streets. He was very glad the police were about to sup press a very great evil in the district. The system of preaching and collecting large and disorderly assemblies of persons ought to be stopped. There were plenty of places for any one to promulgate their opinions and tenets with out interruption. It was not to be endured that the pub lic streets, - which were made for traffic and the passage of persons on horse and on foot, should be impeded by preachers or disputants of any description. The prisoner was a very foolish fellow, and ought to know better. The prisoner —His observations applied to me, and I made my comments and refutations. (Laughter.) Mr. Paget—No observations were applied to you. If you are brought here again for a similar, offence I will punish you severely. You are discharged. REMARKABLE DREA3I.—The legal proceedings which lately took place in the Sheriff Court of Clackmannanshire with regard to the violation of a grave and was buried in a ut p i h i a d rie b d y b i y ns h t i a s lin fa e t n h t e s r . in the churchyard of Alloa, and the u nwarrantable exhu mationtreasurer, it being of the body of James Quin, had their origin, it is stated, in a remarkable dream of the mother of the deceased. Is afterwards Robert Blair, the sexton l Y fa a rgu i o r im u einengWilliam the Qu c u I. hu d r i churchyard, o y n i a n t r a d , d s- September , s o v n l which h t ho was 18 kirk 6 3 About. price was to be gravedigger, took upon himself (without or the d si t x hat mo t n h autho rity, it would appear, of Donaldson) to sell the same lair to another person, and to inter therein a relative of the new purchaser, without however at that time ex huming the body of Quin, the former tenant. Some con siderable time after this the mother of Quin, being desirous of erecting a headstone on the grave of her son, made some inquiries with that view, in the course of which she heard something of another person having been in h* buried •is grave, this having, as she stated, been "cast up" by B 1 •air ' ne phew to nep ew to a younger son her' o f son their way from the Sunday school. But the gravedigger denied the truth of this story, and managed to pacify her. Feeling, however, that he had got into a scrape by the lair having been resold, he, some weeks after Mrs. Quin had interrogated him on the subject, dug up the body of her son during the night of Thursday, the 23d of March last, and re-interred it in other ground. Now, on that very Thursday night, as sworn to by Mrs Quin at the trial, she had this remarkable dream :—She dreamt that her boy stood in his night-gown at her bed side, and said to her, " Oh, mother, put me back to my own bed." She then awoke her husband, and, forgetting in her half-dreaming state that her son was dead, said to him, Jimmie is out of his bed; put him back into it," after which she fell asleep, and again had the same dream. A third time during the same night she dreamt that her son was standing beside her bed ; but on this occasion, re membering that he was dead, the figure of the gravedigger was mixed up with that of the boy, and he appeared to be shoving his spade into the body. Awakening in great trepidation, and feeling certain that her boy had been taken out of his grave, she went to the g ravedigger and vehemently accused him of having dug up the body, which, after some prevarication, he at last admitted. Hence arose the action of damages against Donaldson, the kirk treasurer, and Blair, the gravedigger, which, being restricted to £l2, was brought in the Small Debt Court, The sheriff, after a long proof, assoilizied Donaldson, and found Blair liable in damages, which, the parties not having settled the same extrajudicially, have been since assessed at .£3.—Scotagra Share 13.14 et at st 50 20 10 10 100 at .46 lu 100 100 {lOO 2 100 100 n 0 100 100 10 100 100 214 3 321 3.10.6 2.8. v 7.1.0 10.6.7 1; 18.18.9 30.17. 474 5i 10 3.12.8 8 58i 127 i 102 i 102 •1014 951 4 92i 2 1041 108 7f I
