Mr. Arnold said—l cannot rely upon the evidence of the police. The prisoner is discharged. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ODIHAM RACES—TUESDAY. Immediately preceding the fashionable Stockbridge gathering this meeting was largely patronised, many of the patrician and chief supporters of the turf being pre sent. It com mences the H am pshire week, and being situated en rou t e to Stockbridge, most of the book-makers break their jou rney, so that all the p r incipal operators are to be seen in th e enclosure, which gives it the appearance of a much mo re i mportant gathering. This meeting has been so singul ar l y unfortunate with regard to weather that it seems almost impossible for the day to pass without rain, and yesterday proved no exception to the rule, as a more miserable morning could not be imagined, heavy showers falling until the racing commenced, when it cleared up, and although the sky remained cloudy the afternoon was comparatively fine for Odiham. The attendance of pleasure seekers was exceedingly good considering the weather ; several drags and fashionable carriages were drawn up opposite the Stand, together with a number of humbler vehicles. The racing, which commenced at half-past one and concluded shortly after five, does not require comment beyond those contained in the subjoined return, which includes every detail of the running. Speculation, although spirited, was very limited, and there was no betting Ln future events.

At the final sitting of the Chamber of Deputies to-day Baron von Beust said, iu answer to a question addressed to him by one of the mem bers, that he could not, on account of the consequences, state how Saxony would vote upon the Austrian proposal for the mobilization of the Federal army. lie might say, however, that Saxony would vote with Bavaria on that question at the Federal Diet.

This case.has at length concluded unfavourably to the claim of Mrs. Ryves. Notwithstanding the interposition of the Court, Dr. Smith, the counsel for Mrs. Ryves, insisted on his right to address the jury. After a lengthened speech the learned counsel resumed his seat, when The jury immediately found a verdict for the Crown on all the issues. A number of the documents produced during the tria, were ordered to be impounded. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE SHIELD. This bankrupt was a railway contractor, of 49, Victoria-- street, Westminster, and to-day was appointed for the last examination and order of discharge. Sir Charles Fox is a creditor for £7,200, and the t0t5.1 debts amount to about 440,000. The bankrupt claims a surplus, and the case was adjourned for further accounts. CRIMIN, 'his Day. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) THE CANNON-STREET MURDER. This morning William Smith was placed at the bar and - charged on an indictment with having murdered Sarah 31elson, a servant of the Messrs. Bevington, in Cannon street, on tho 11th of April last. Mr. Metcalfe, who with Mr. Stroight appeared for the prosecution, in addressing the jury, said there could be no doubt that a murder of an atrocious character had been committed in the city of London. On the 11th of April a man rung the bell, and the housekeeper (Melson) went down to answer it. Shortly afterwards the dead body of the unfortunate woman was found by the doorway, great violence having evidently been used in causing her death. The deceased, it appeared, had owed some money to a woman named Webber, and had been paying her off little by little, through a man named Jerry, for whom the pri soner appeared to have acted as an agent. The prisoner had boon seen going backwards and forwards to the house of the Messrs. Bevington, and it would be shown by the evidence that, living at Eton, he was seen walking to the up train from Slough to London on the evening in which the murder was committed. The learned counsel pro ceeded to give the details of the evidence he proposed to submit for the consideration of the jury. A person named Gipps, whose duty it was to see Messrs. Bevington's house cleared at night, said he fastened the doors before he went away on the night in question. Mrs. Melson, he said, very seldom went out at night, and had very few visitors. Elizabeth Lowe said she was in the house on the night Mrs. Melson was murdered. Mrs. Melson went down in answer to a ring, and afterwards she was found dead. The police-constable who was called in on the discovery of the body deposed to finding the body in a pool of blood. He went at once for Mr. May, the surgeon. Sergeant Ogden, of the City police force, said he was called in on the discovery of the murder. He saw the body of the deceased, and near it a crowbar. By Sergeant Ballantine—There was no blood upon the instrument or upon the dress of the deceased. Dr. May, the surgeon who was called in, said he found many wounds on the head and face of the deceased. The body was warm when ho arrived. There was an undis turbed pool of blood, and the injuries the deceased had re ceived might have been committed by such an instrument as that produced. There was no blood on it. Sergeant Moss said he went to the prisoner's residence at Eton on the 17th of April, and asked him if his name was William Smith. He acknowledged that it was, and showed him a letter signed Denton and Terry, and the prisoner acknowledged that it was in his handwriting, stating, however, that he had written it for a man named Andrews. The mother of the prisoner said she could not remember where he was on the day of the alleged murder, and that the prisoner had been a great trial to her. He then charged the prisoner with the murder, and took him into custody. The prisoner said it was a very serious charge, that he was as innocent as a baby, and that he had not been in London since the 10th of February when he went to Aldermanbury about some money. He stated that the retter signed Denton and Terry he presented towards the close of last year. He admitted that he had signed the words " W. Denton," as he had sometimes gone by that name. He said he knew Terry was not entitled to the money, and that was why he signed the wrong name. The prisoner was then conveyed to London and charged, in which he again asserted his innocence. (Some threatening letters addressed to the deceased, and alleged to have been written by the prisoner, were then put in in evidence.) Inspector Foulger said there was such a great mob at the station in Bow-lane when the prisoner was removed o the Mansion-house that they were obliged to manacle a policeman and send him off in a cab to draw off attention from the real prisoner. They took the prisoner in front of Messrs. Bovington's in order that he might be recognised. The learned Judge directed, oa the application of Ser geant Ballantine, that no communication should be allowed between the police and the witnesses. The Court adjourned at this stage for half an hour. The evidence for the prosecution having been closed, Sergeant Ballantine addressed the jury in a speech which occupied nearly three hours, after which the tria: was adjourned. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles) CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER. Ellen Shadbolt, 17, who stood remanded from last ses. sion, was indicted for the wilful murder of her infant child. • Tho evidence, which was not questioned by the defence, was very clear. The prisoner was sitting near the New River at Newington in the evening, and the child was found drowned the next morning. The defence was that the death of the child was not wilfully caused, the theory of the defence being that the prisoner might have acci dentally dropped the child in the river, as the bridge near which she was seen was open at the sides, there being merely a bar at the top and rail in the middle. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) POLICE DTTELLIGENCE.--This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON A PARK CONSTABLE.— William Calvert, a warehouseman, living in New North-road, Islington, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and behav ing in a disorderly manner in Hyde-park, and assaulting Park Constable Henry Matthews, No. 24. Matthews said that on the previous evening he was on duty near the Queen's-gate, Hyde-park, when he saw the prisoner lying across the pathway, with two large bundles of property by his side, and a crowd of persons round him. lie raised the prisoner up, when he found that he was drunk, and he became very disorderly and struck him. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was determined, as far as ho had the power to do so, that the parks should be kept for the purpose they were intended—the recreation of the public. At the present time the parks were the place of resort of some of the worst persons in London. He should fine the prisoner 405., or a month. W. Jones, a rough-looking fellow, described as a labourer, of Camden-place, Notting-hill, was charged with being in an enclosure in Kensington-gardens for an unlawful pur pose, and destroying the flowers and shrubs. Henry Howes, park constable, said that about nine that morning he saw the prisoner and some others throwing stones at the birds' nests in the trees. They afterwards got into an enclosure to look for ducks' eggs, and broke, several shrubs and damaged some flowers by trampling on them. There were about 16 persons there, and great damage was done daily. The prisoner last summer was convicted for a similar thing. The prisoner said he was not the one who did the damage. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was resolved to put the law in force against all persons who did mischief in the parks and gardens, some of the most mischievous blackguards in Lon don frequenting the parks to the annoyance of decent per sons. He should fine the prisoner 40s. or a month every time he came before him, and he only wished that some of the others had been caught. THAMES. ATTEMPT TO DEFRAUD THE LONDON DOCK COMPANY. — Daniel Larkin, alias Nash, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with attempting to defraud the London Dock Company of a half-crown. Many labourers have each obtained a half-crown by fraudulently representing they have done a day's work, and extra precautions have been taken by the dock company to prevent these frauds.i_ Mr. William Harris, deputy warehouse-keeper in the London Dock, stated that the prisoner came to him yester day morning when the gangs of labourers were b e i ng se t to work, and said his name was Nash. Ho was told to go to work under Mr. Bavin, a foreman. At half-past eight o'clock it was asceetained that the prisoner was not at work. Soon after four o'clock in the afternoon when the men were receiving three days' wages, the prisoner appeared at the window of his office and asked for a half-crown. Ile asked him whore ho had been at work and what he had boon doing, to which he replied that he had been at work under Bavin shoving up hogsheads of sugar. He knew the prisoner had not been at work, but he put down a half crown and sent for a constable. The prisoner saw the constable coming and refused to take the money. Mr. Partridge--. What did he say ? Witness—He said I would rather not take the money. Mr. Partridge—Why did you not say to him you have not been at work and refuse to pay him any money ? Witness—l did not know it was necessary. Mr. Partridge—That is what you ought to have done. A constable said that the prisoner declared it was all a mistake, and that he was waiting to receive a half-crown owing to him by a man named Brown. Mr. Partridge said there was no doubt the London Dock Company were liable to frauds of this description, employ ing as they did many thousand labourers daily. .He thought it would have been as well if the deputy warehouse -keeper had at once said to the prisoner, " You ha ve not done a day's work ; you shall have no money," and not lay a trap for him. He warned the prisoner not to repeat the attempt to obtain money from the company. His intentions were evidently dishonest, but under-all the circumstances ho should discharge him. WESTMINSTER. ASSAULT ON THE POLICE BY A BOY.—James Palmer, a boy of 16, was charged before Mr. Arnold with being riotous and assaulting George M'Kay, 176 B. M'Kay said that in consequence of complaints from the inhabitants of Montpelier-row, Brompton, respecting boys making a noise before their houses, he was on duty at seven o'clock .on Tuesday evening, and saw prisoner and two others at the corner of Montpelier-row, Brompton. They were making a noise and shouting, and he told them to go away. The other two went away, and pri soner said he would not go for any policeman, he had a right there. M'Kay took hold of him, when he struck him in the face and knocked his helmet off. He was very violent all the way to the station. Mr. William James Holden, an inspector of the B divi sion, roved that prisoner said at the staticn he did strike IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THIS DAY. The SPEAKER took tho chair at 12 o'clock. TESTS ABOLITION (OXFORD) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, Sir W. HEATHCOTE moved an amendment to the first clause, the effect of which was to exclude from Con vocation all those who had been admitted to degrees withoutmaking the declaration of conformity to the Church of England. Mr. COLERIDGE objected to the amendment. He con sidered it went to the root of the bill, and if the house as sented to it the measure would become entirely worthless. He frankly admitted that the object of the bill was proposed for the purpose of bringing Dissenters into the University, but not to introduce them into colleges to :interfere with religious teaching. Mr. B. HOPE supported the amendment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it had been hinted that the Government, if such a measure as that now before necessary, were the parties who ought to deal with this matter, and he might say the Go vernment was quite ready to acquit themselves of the task if they saw a favourable indication in the house that the bill would pass. Much required to be done before the question was settled, and, under all the circumstances, he thought it would be the wisest course for the present to withdraw the bill. Ile was not speaking on behalf of the Government in asking the hon. and learned gentleman to take this course ; but it was his individual opinion that dealing with the matter as proposed by the hon. and learned gentleman was most imperfect. He objected to the continual nibbling by Parliament at the principle on which university education was founded, and therefore, as the bill would not effectually settle the difficult and deli cate matter, he could not give it his support. (gear, hear.) Mr. G. DUFF regretted the determination to which the right hon. gentleman who had just resumed his seat had 'come. He had hoped that he might have been induced to support the bill, instead of opposing it in a manner as strenuously as any of the hon. gentlemen who occupied the Opposition benches. Sir S. NORTHCOTE supported the amendment. Mr. C. FORTESCUE opposed, and Viscount CRANBOURNE supported, the amendment. Mr. EVANS supported the amendment, because he thought the bill tended to promote religious freedom. After a few words from Mr. Locxz and Lord J. MAN XERS, Sir G. GREY said the Government were not prepared to interpose in this matter, because it was one in which the greatest liberty of conscience was necessary. His right hon. f riend the Chancellor of the Exchequer had expressed his opi nion, and ho (Sir G. Grey) could not agree with him in opposing the amendment, therefore he should give his vote in favour of the class as it stood in the bill of the hon. member for Exeter. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 172 Against it Majority Sir W. HEATHCOTE said, after such a majority against him, he should not press the other amendments. (Hear, hear.) The clauses in the bill were agreed to, and the bill was reported to the house without amendment. POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. C. R. BARRY moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to alter the system of poor rating in Ireland by substituting an union rating in place of that of electoral divisions. (Hear, hear.) He said that the present system had worked most mis chieviously, in consequence of the inequality of the towns compared with the rural districts, and it was to remedy that state of things that the present bill was introduced. Mr. GREGORY, as an amendment, moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. He was of opinion that it was a measure altogether uncalled for and unnecessary. Lord C. HAMILTON, who seconded the amendment, was addressing the house at a quarter to six, at which hour the debate, according to the standing order, ceased. The other orders of the day wore thea disposed of and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS--LAST EVENING, The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Mold and Denbigh Junction Railway (Branches, &c.), Shrewsbury and North Wales Railway (Deviations, &c.), and Somerset and Dorset Railway. GASLIGHT AND COKE COMPANIES BILL. Mr. ADAIR moved the further amendment of the re port on this bill. Mr. TITE strenuously objected to the bill. It sought to erect a series of immense gas works in the neighbour hood of Victoria-park, and for that reason he would not be a party to giving the powers asked by the bill. He pointed out a site which might be most advantageously occupied by the company, but they refused to entertain the proposal, and they proposed to erect works in close proximity to Victoria-park, which had recently cost the house £75,000. The Board of Works had spent £25,000 in making approaches thereto, and the expense of the park, which was now about to become permanent, was £6,000 per annum, all this was to go for nothing, because the gas company had made up their minds to erect the works on a site which would inconvenience and discomfort thousands of the poorer classes. Ho moved that the report be further considered that day three months. Lord J. MANNERS seconded the amendment. If it was proposed to erect gas-works in the neigh bourhood of Trafalgar-square a great and irre pressible outcry would arise in consequence of the injurious odour that would be emitted from the works, and would totally destroy all vegetation in St. James's Park. He could seo no difference between Vic toria and St. James's Park ; and as he should stand up to the utmost of his power for the one proposal, so he strenu ously objected to the powers sought to be obtained by this bill. Sir J. TROLLOP said the hon. member for Bath had adopted a most ungracious course in moving the rejection of this bill, because that was the effect of his motion. The Board of Works had petitioned against the bill, and they had done their best to impede the bill in committee, and after the best consideration their objections bad been found unten able. The hon. gentleman, despite all that had been done, now moved the rejection of the bill on the consideration of the report of the bill. He, as chairman of the committee to which the bill had been referred, said ho hoped the house would not agree to the proposal of the ion. member. It was not, as was generally supposed, intended to vote to erect gas works in the middle of Victoria-park; the site proposed was a marsh ; not a house near it for a considerable distance, and it was surrounded by water, so that the graat outcry that had been got up against it was absurd. Mr. B. HOPE said he had visited the sp o t, an d he _ . _ assured the house he could not call the proposed site a desert waste. The gasworks, if erected, would become an motionintolerable f t n h u e l s h n o c e n 0 , u a r n a d bl therefore e h r e f s o h r o Ba d t h s p o f rt t h the works were sanctioned it would in effect be inviting people to disfigure and make the metropolis as objection able as p oss ibl e . Th e w h o l e ques ti on appeare d t o him to be whether the company should be called to lay down a little more piping by moving their works from the re quired site or not. He hoped the house would give the motion of the hon. gentleman the member for Bath its ap proval and assent. Mr. AYRTON said the question to be decided by the bill was not confined to the erection of a limited amount of gas works, but whether they would allow two gas works to unite, and for them to concentrate their whole establish ment near Victoria Park. He thought that because a nuisance already existed near Victoria Park it could not be laid down as an argument to introduce a far greater one. (Hear, hear.) Apart from that he was of opi nion that the erection of these immense works would, in addition to becoming a nuisance, be positively dange rous to the surrounding property from fear of explosion. Mr. W. COWPER said the erection of those enormous and gigantic gasworks near Victoria-park would be ex ceedingly objectionable. (Hear, hear.) He, for one, could not consent to become a party to subjecting all those who went to the park for enjoyment to breathe the noxious vapours that emanated from gasworks. On public grounds he thought it the duty of the house not to sanc tion any bill which would endanger the health or pollute the air near Victoria-park. The country had spent a great deal of money in forming the park for the benefit of the working classes at the eastern extremity of the metropolis, and now all was to be destroyed because two great companies proposed to un i te and concentrate all their works within six hundred or eight hundredyards of Victoria-park. He could not y see why the gas companies could not go elsewhere, as there were pof places away from habitations where gasworks mightnty be erected without injury to any one. He hoped the house would not reject the proposal of the hon. member for Bath. (Hear.) Sir J. PAKINGTON said he had been solicited on the part of a large hospital established to combat with con sumption to use his utmost endeavours to prevent the erection of ages works in close proximity to that establish ment. He thought such a proposal at once highly inju rious, and therefore he should support the motion of the hon. member for Bath. (Hear, hear.) Mr. S. BUTLER trusted the house would giveits assent to the amendment of the hon. member for Bath, and thus rescue hundteds of thousands of industrious artisans from the nuisance that was sought to be imposed upon them. (Hear, hear.) Mr. PAULL said he should give his vote in support of the bill, because he thought the great outcry that had been got up against it totally groundless. The great opponent of the bill was the popular preacher and public agitator of the neighbourhood. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) It was for the house to say whether this redoubtable per son should dictate to them where they should allow the erection of gas works. He contended that the gas works would not produce a nuisance, because all the gas manu factured was to be purified by a process which would alto gether relieve it of its noxious properties. Sir R. PEEL said he thought the opinion of the com mittee ought to be maintained. He objected to the hon. member for Bath standing up in that house as the standard of taste. He thought that when a committee of that house had decided that the site selected was a fit and proper one, it was highly ridiculous for the house to blindly follow the advice of the hon, member for Bath. He should like to know wh e th er B attersea Park was de stroyed by the gas works that existed in the locality— (hear, hear)--or whether Bath, which was one of the most beautiful places in the country, was disfigured by the gas works that existed there. (Hear, hear.) He hoped the house would support the determination of the committee. Mr. LUSK supported the amendment of the hon. mem ber for Bath. Mr. STANILAND said as a member of the committee to which the bill had been referred, he hoped the house would support the decision it had, after the greatest consi deration, arrived at. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment l3B Against it Majority The amendment was therefore lost, anal the report was further considered, and the bill ordered to be read a third time. Lord DUNKELLIN gave notice of his in , ention to move in committee on the Reform Bill that the .c 7 borough fran chise be a rating , not a renting franchi se . In reply to Mr. SANDFOItD, Mr. LAYARD stated that the papers relating to the Conference would be shortly hid on the table. Mr. H. VIVIAN, in a long and interesting speech, full of elaborate scientific calculations, and showing as well a minute practical knowledge of the subject, moved for a Royal Commission to inquire into the extent of our coal fields, the consumption of coal, and other points connected with this question. After some prefatory remarks, he divided his subject under these heads —the depth at which coal could be profitably worked; the amount of coal actu ally known to exist, and which might possibly exist in undiscovered coalfields ; the rate of consumption, and the necessity of economy. In dealing with the first point he combated Mr. Hall's assertion that coal could not be worked below 4,000 ft., remarking that it would cut off from the South Wales district 24,000 million tons, of the value of £64,000,000, and showed by relating a series of practical experiments which had been made that the objections to deep pits on the ground of temperature, pressure, and ex pense R ere unfounded, and that they could be worked with as much health, comfort, and safety to miners, and with as little expense comparatively, as shallow pits; and that hitherto, as a matter of experience, the additional cost of sinking deeper had been more tan compensated by the additional amount of coal obtained. He gave some inte resting details as to the extent of our known coalfields which he placed at 2,770 square miles, containing 84,000 million tons, but gave many strong reasons and quoted high authorities for believing that under the Permian and other strata there existed coalfields three or four times as extensive, which were within the reach of man, and that in all probability the south of England was full of attainable coal. On the question of future consumption he declined to make any predictions, but contended that consumption ought not to increase at a more rapid rate than the popu lation, which was at present about one and one-fifth per cent. ; and applying it to the manufacture of iron, he showed by a reductio ad absurdum that Mr. Jevon's theory of geo metrical progression in the consumption was fallacious and entirely untrustworthy, concluding that there was no ground forthe dismal prophecies which had been uttered on this point. By the adoption of the " long wall" system, in place of the " pillar and stall," he showed that considerable economy might be obtained in the working of coal, and in regard to its consumption he indicated various inventions which had been and might be expected to be made to effect a large saving. He adverted, in conclusion, to Mr. Tor ren's amendment for confiding the inquiry to the Geologi cal Survey, and gave his reasons for preferring a commission composed not only of scientific but practical men. Mr. LIDDELL seconded the motion, and, ilTough not apprehending any imminent failure in our coal supplies, urged the necessity—looking to the importance of the ma terial to our commercial superiority—of adopting every safeguard for the economical consumption of coal. Mr. WC. TORRENS moved, as an amendment, " That a special report as to the extent, quality, and cost of work ing coal in the United Kingdom be directed to be made by the persons charged - with the conduct of the Geological Survey." He did not press it very forcibly, but insisted that, in whatever form it was conducted, the inquiry should be thorough. Sir G. GREY intimated that the Government, being fully sensible of the importance of accurate information on this subject, would grant the inquiry, and being unwilling to delay the completion of the important work on which the Geological Survey was engaged, they preferred the proposal of Mr. Vivian, to confide the inquiry to a Royal Commission, on whi c h it was hoped Sir R. Murchison would serve. Sir R. PEEL, Mr. SAMUELSON, and Col. SYKES expressed a preference for obtaining the information through the Geological Survey. Sir G. Bowyer, Mr. Bayley, and Mr. Pease thanked the Government for granting the inquiry, and The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to some reflection s o f Si r G. Bowyer in a former speech of his, explained that h e h ad not shared in the appr ehensions of an actual e x h austion of the supply of coal, but had simpl y expressed an opinion that we could not go on producing our present amount without risking a rise in _ a u r d, in defe n di ng the decision of the Governmentt as to the e form of the inq u i ry, pointed out the superior d commission on which b o th practical and a scient ificva s of a men could meet. The amendment having been withdrawn, the motion was agreed to. Mr. MELLOR movod for a Select Committee to consi der the importance of creating a harbour of refuge at New haven ; but Mr. M.

The firemen of the Metropolitan Brigade were actively engaged in attending fires in different parts of London. One fire, attended with great loss of property, happened in the premises of Mr. Edwin Yates, - picture-frame maker No. 33, Goldsmith-row, Hackney-road. The outbreak it appears was occasioned by an escape of gas, and in the course of a few minutes the whole building pre sented a blaze. Conductor Eidson promptly attended with the Royal Society's escape ; and the land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co., and manual power engines followed, and a good; supply of water having been procured, the firemen went to work in gallant style, but they were unable to get the fire subdued until the building and all it contained were destroyed. Fortunately the suf ferer was insured. Another fire broke out in th e p rom i see belonging to Mr. Murray , 'No. 101, High-street, Shadwell, which, had it not been for the prompt arrival of the lire brigade from the adjacent station, several lives unquestionably must have been sacrificed. As it was the brigade succeeded, by the aid of their ladders, in bringing down in safety the whole of the endangered persons. The Royal Society's escapes were also soon in attendance, as well as numerous land steam and manual power engines, and owing to an abundant supply of the East London Company's water the engines were set to work, but the shop and the contents were destroyed before the fire could be extinguished. The fire commenced at a quarter to three in the morning. A fire also happened in the premises of Mr. Partridge, a tea dealer, No. 156, Edgware-road, at which conductor James attended with the Royal Society's escape, followed by numerous engines, and fortunately the fire was con fined to the stables. The other fires were of minor importance. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. —Ths Day. LONDON, June 13.—Wind this day at noon—South- Westerly; moderate breeze, and cloudy weather, with rain.
