C ORN-EXC HAN GE—WEDNESDAY The present week's arrival of English Wheat having been again small, the show of samples to-day was trifling; nevertheless, the demand for all descriptions was in a sluggish state, barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, Monday's prices. The imports of Foreign Wheat have amounted to 5,300 quarters. Selected parcels mostly sold at full rates of currency, but all other kinds were neglected. Barley, the supply of which was but moderate, moved off slowly, at late rates. In Malt so little was doing that the currencies were almost nominal. The quantity of Oats on offer was small, yet sales progressed slowly, at barely late rates. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn commanded very little attention. In Flour we have no change to report; the nominal top figure of Town made was 46s per 280 lbs. ARRIVALS. 1 W"". English Irish. •• . Barley. 870 qrs. Foreign • • • • •• Oats. I Flour. 960 qrs .

ALLEGED MURDERS AT STON,E- LEIGH ABBEY. On Saturday last Mr. Jones, solicitor to Lord Leigh, attended before the magistrates at the County Court, Warwick, for the purpose of making an application with reference to the late investigation at Warwick. It would be in the recollection of the magistrates that, by order of the justices, copies of the depositions taken in the charge against Lord Leigh were to be furnished to the parties on both sides. He had been supplied by their clerk with copies, and he found that the caption did not correspond exactly with the charge as set forth against Lord Leigh in the magistrates' book. His application was, there fore, that the magistrates would order an exact copy of the charge in, the book to be appended to the depositions. The caption did not set forth the terms of the charge of murder. Mr. Tibbits, the magistrates' clerk, said the caption ran thus :—" The examination of Richard Barnett, John Wilcox, William P. Roberts, Charles Griffin, Elizabeth James, Mary Draper, William Jeffs, and James Leigh, when upon oath before us, James Rattray, H. C. Wise, K. Greenway, and M. W. Heath, Esqs., four of her Majesty's justices of the peace in and for the county of Warwick, at Warwick, in the said county, this 6th day of May, in the year of our Lord, 1848, in the matter of an application made by one James Leigh for warrants that search may be made in the abutment of the bridge crossing the river Avon, i❑ Stoneleigh Abbey Park, in the said county, for the bodies of Thomas Proud, Joseph Smith, George Matthew Billinge, and William Forbes, stated to have been murdered and de posited there." Mr. Jones said the charge in the book was entered as follows:—"County Petty Sessions, 6th of May, 1848; present, J. Rattray, H. C. Wise, K. Greenway, and M. W. Heath, Esqs. Regina, on the prosecution of James Leigh v. Chandos Lord Leigh and others.—Charge of Murder.—Application for warrant that search may be made in the abutment of the bridge crossing the river Avon, in Stoneleigh Abbey Park, for the bodies of Proud, Smith, Billinge, and Forbes, said to have been murdered and there deposited. The application is made on the joint opinions of three counsel, namely, C. W. White hurst, W. Clarkson, and W. H. Bodkin." Mr. Jones then said it was not the same as the caption, and his application was that the charge set forth in the book from which he had just read should be transferred to the depositions. The caption was not a copy, inasmuch as an important line was omitted, namely, "Charge of Murder." The magistrates granted the application, and the clerk drew out an exact copy of the charge from the book, and appended it to the depositions. Aris's Birmingham Gazette. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

PLYMOUTH, MAY 20.—We learn with pleasure that a meeting of the directors of this railway has been held at Plymouth during the past week, at which it has been resolved to continue the progress of the works of this line, so as to be prepared for the extension of the opera tions immediately that such a course may be deemed advisable. We are enabled to state that the experiment with the iron cylinder at Saltash has fully answered the most sanguine expectations of the superintendent engi neer. It will be recollected that a cylinder made of boiler plate was some time since moored in the centre of the river, the object being to ascertain whether, by its sinking in the mud, it would not prove water-tight, and thus answer the purpose of an ordinary coffer-dam, to construct which in so great a depth of water would be impracticable. This experimental cylinder is 6 feet in diameter, and 85 in length. When moored in its proper position it sank at once 10 feet into the mud, the depth of the water at high tide being about 70 feet. On Tuesday evening the water within the cylinder was lowered 36 feet under high water mark, and at the end of 16 hours it bad only risen again to the extent of 54- inches. Yesterday the water was further lowered 17 feet 9 inches, and in a clay or two the remainder will be drawn out, when by excavating the mud the full nature of the foundation will be discovered. The rise of the 51 inches within the tube is fully accounted for by the heavy rain which fell on Wednesday, and a slight leakage in the joints of the boiler plates LITERARY NEWS.—The public will be glad to hear that a now work of fiction, from the pen of Sir Ed ward Bulwer Lytton, entitled ",Harold, the last of the Saxon Kings," is in the press, and will be shortly pub lished by Mr. Bentley. NORTH CHESHIRE ELECTION.—The :day of nomi nation for this election is fixed for Wednesday, the 31st instant, at Knutsford , and the po llin g da y s are appointed for Monday and Tuesday, the sth and Gth of June, ROBBERY OF NEARLY TWO HUNDRED POUNDS.-- WORCESTER, MONDAY EVENING.—For some time past this city has been infested with a gang of pickpockets, who avail themselves of the crowded markets to ease the pockets of the citizens and their wives of their loose cash. To-day 'a suspected rogue of this class under went an examination before Mr. Sidebottom, police ma gistrate, on a charge of picking the pocket of a lady on Saturday last, of gold and notes to the value of about 801., and a banker's draft for 1001. The robbery was effected on Saturday last in the market-house, at mid day. The lady had been to her banker and obtained the money, and thence went to the market house, where she was hustled and robbed. The prisoner was taken as he was leaving the city by railway for Birm ingham. A large sum of money was found upon him. He stands remanded for the present. IMPROPER BURIAL 01 THE DEAD.—Quite an army of sextons took possession of ;the Liverpool Police-court on Saturday, having been summoned, under the Sanitary Act, for infraction of the law in the mode of conducting interments. The informations were laid by the direction of Mr. Fresh; they were for non-compliance with that clause which requires that two feet six inches of earth shall be placed on every coffin immediately after inter ment. 1). Mulligan, the sexton of St. Anthony's Ca tholic Chapel, appeared, in answer to one complaint, but contended that the Act had been complied with, which transpired to be literally true. It was explained that after a coffin was lowered to its bed of rest, by means of a machine contrived for the purpose, a body of earth, of the thickness of two feet six inches, was set down, but only to be raised, en masse, when the next e rs down; tandi n g b but on showed wsp , e aK d rt:r t kthd a sea t aitie t rd , wt i sh s taeese w Aas a l in terment took place. J. Kirkham, sexton of the Wesleyan chapel, admitted that after two interments in separate graves, no soil except a small quantity, just sufficient to Act alsoowingwst uha summoned. s mo chapel of corer the plate of the coffin,l which was uppermost, was ton a ne d t m h i r s o u w n having instructed him to comply with the Act. J. Ash croft,ir. sextonushton at tS thet. M conclusion,ary ' pe culiar construction, and believing they had sinned from ignorance, dismissed the cases; but warned them to comply in future with the exact conditions of the law, which was, that rifler each interment earth to the thick ness of two feet six inches be placed over the coffin ' to rema in undisturbed: until the grave be wanted again. The defendants promised obedience and departed. The musical world has lost an important member in the late Mr. Julian Kench, who expired, after a few days' illness, on Monday last, at the premature age of twenty-five. Mr. Kench, though a young was a very rising man in his profess ion, yet his life was too short to enable him to provide for the future necessities of his family. He has left a widow and two children utterly destitute. THE 72D HIGHLANDERS.—On Thursday the depot of this regiment, nearly 500 strong, under the command of Major Maclean, recently stationed in Paisley an d Hamilton, passed through this city, and was conveyed from Granton-pier to the Belleisle, and proceeded to Sheerness. —Edin burgh Witness. OVERLAND MAIL -- INDIA. (From the Bombay Times.) Stain Any. —The advancing season brings the usual phenomena of increasing temperature and its concomitants along with it, and movements, singularly sluggish before, are not likely to be in creased in their energy or vivacity with the thermo meter in the sun at 150 deg., or in the shade at 90 deg. The most important items of our intelligence continue to be commercial. Judgment has been given in the Supreme Court at Calcutta in favour of the validity million o sterling, issued to n t i o on Batheenxkte.nt o f above a Though not only not recognised by the charter, but in contravention of its provisions, the existence of post-bills was known to the shareholders—their issue was acquiesced in by their accepting a share of the profits realised on them, and their validity was believed in by those who accepted of them, and therefore in equity they are held valid. The soundness of the views of the Court seem generally ac quiesced in, though at variance with the opinions previ ously given by counsel. This will maintain or extend the responsibilities of the shareholders in proportion as it protects the interests of the bill-owners. The prospects of the bank seem to darken on every side ; the share holders hold back in stolid apathy, while the creditors are beginning to push their claims with relentless determina tion. The debtors of the bank, and those who have lite rally made away with a couple of millions of its funds, are treated with a gentleness and forbearance which contrast singularly with the warmth with which the un happy shareholders arc urged on. Mr. Ayrton, attor ney, has been sent round by the Commercial Bank of Bombay, to insist on early payment of the 40,0001. of its funds appropriated to their own uses by the Union Bank when sent to them for the purchase of bills on England. The members of the Cal cutta Bar have unanimously refused to hold briefs along with Sir Thomas Turton, one of those most deeply implicated in the bank transactions. Sir Thomas was, it may be remembered, secretary to Lord Durham in Canada in 1838. He was a barrister of much repute and high practice. Shortly after his return to India he became Ecclesiastical Registrar of the Su preme Court, with a salary of 6,0001. a year. While in this position he speculated largely with the funds committed to his charge—the deficit amounting to some 50,0004 On these coming to light he resigned his appointment, with a view of resuming practice at the bar, when his brethren refused to accept of briefs along with him. Mr. Grant, son of the late Chief Jus tice Sir John Peter Grant, seems to be in not much better favour, and for kindred reasons. The firm of Carr, Tagore, and Co., of Calcutta, have become insol vent. The liabilities of the house amount to 254,6201., and the assets to 290,2951. Inability to meet present demands upon them has been the cause of the firm suspending business.—The error in the Act (No. VI. of 1847) repealing the duties on all goods shipped from port to port in the Company's dominions, has been detected and amended, as we ex pected that it would. The Act is now in operation. —The houses of Barlow and Co. and H. Adam and Co., at the Mauritius, have declared themselves insolvent. Their liabilities respectively are 337,965 dollars and 2,378,293 dollars, and assets 107,800 dollars and 1,043,580 dollars.—lslam Khan, the Boogtie Chief, who surrendered himself in September last after the brilliant action of Lieut. Merewether, and who had been located by Government on the rich lands near Larkanah, has fled with his family to the hills. He is expected to be joined by all the members of his tribe, and it is apprehended that he may give us some trouble on the frontier next cold season, unless intercepted by the in defatigable Sinde Horse.—The Sinde Gassetts, after a short career of six months, has been discontinued—its pro prietor, Mr. Von Geyer, late clerk in the Commissariat, having been placed in confinement on suspicion of pecu lation from Government. Some improper allusions having ten months since got into our paper through inadvertence in reference to this gentlemen, he was allowed some months' leave from the late Governor of Sinde that he might proceed to Bombay and prosecute the Bombay Times. Every reparation that could be desired having been voluntarily made the instant it was discovered that injury had been done, the idea of legal proceedings was dropped, much to the disappointment of those who had encouraged it.—Sinde throughout has become for the :present trans formed from one of the most sickly to ono of the most salubrious of the provinces we possess ; it still re quires seventeen thousand men to guard it. The Commissioner, Mr. Pringle, returned two days since to the Presidency on domestic affairs—he and his family will shortly return to Kurrachee.—The Dewan of Mooltan is said to have agreed to surrender to the Lahore State the lease by which he at present holds this very valuable district.—Mr. Vans Agnew was to proceed thither, Capt. Lumsden joining him from Peshawur. Her Majesty's 10th Regiment of Foot had moved into the new barracks built for them at Anarkullee. The weather was warm, but the health of the troops was excellent.—A public meeting, numerous and respectable almost without precedent, took place in the Town Hall on the sth for the inauguration the Mechanics' Institute lately estab lished amongst us. The Chief Justice, Sir Erskine Perry, presided, and delivered a very excellent address on the occasion. The other speakers were Professor Giraud, Mr. Crawford, barrister, Mr. Conybeare, civil engineer, Lieut. Burke, Mint engineer, Dr. Buist, Dr. Downes, Deputy Assay Master Mint, Archdeacon Jefferies, and,the Rev. Drs. Stevenson and Wilson. Go vernment and the community generally, have done everything in their power to promote the interests of this promising and praiseworthy institution; the Chief Justice has subscribed 1001. to its funds. Some discus sion has occurred on the subject of uniting the institu tion with the Native General Library, an admirable institution, over whose interests the Chief Justice also presides; to us it appears that the two are much more likely to be useful separately than combined. A subsciption for a testimonial to Lord Hardingo is presently in progress throughout the northern division of the Bombay army. Upwards of 1,000/. has in the course of the past fortnight been subscribed in the Bombay presidency to the fund for the relief of the family of the late Captain Stokoe, murdered by the con victs under his charge while commanding the ship General Wood. The troops have bean directed to withdraw from the hill country during the sickly season. His Highness the Raja of Sattara died on the sth instant, in the 46th year of his age; he had occupied the throne since the deposition of his brother in 1839, and ruled wisely and well. He leaves no heirs behind him, and the country lapses to the British Government : its net revenues amount to 150,0001. a year. It will for the present, it is understood, be placed under s Commission.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived at Osborne at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, on a visit to her Majesty. Her Royal Highness was at tended by her Lady in waiting, Lady Augusta Bruce, and crossed from Gosport in the Fairy steam-packet. Her Majesty and her Royal Consort walked yes terday morning in the pleasure-grounds of Osborne, and the Royal children took their accustomed airings.

Madame thtailyfr T ee ad fr o o li m ni was s as 's secon d thetrepi.daatpipoenarof her first debut, less was accorded from courtesy , and the genuin e a p p l ause yielded to her talentwaa far greater. The peculiar, beautif u l, pure liq uid quality of certain of h er notes and her s c ience and agili ty of execution were f u lly di s pl aye d . She was called after each act, and twice after the last, independently of the encores. At the conclusion of the overture of the Opera Mr. Lee came forward, and said that Mr. Reeves having refused to sing in Linda, the indul gence of the public was requested for Mr. Gardoni, who had kindly undertaken the part at the shortest notice. It appears that the favourite tenor was called upon to do this service to the management and plea sure to the public at six o'clock, and he had not seen the part for several years. He was received not only without a dissentient voice, but with a prolonged and several times renewed round of applause. Young as he is, be showed himself not only an excellent vocalist, but a very experienced musician--there was no trace of imperfection or of forgetfulness in his execution of the music, his voice blending admirably with those of his colleagues. Ile was loudly encored in the " romans." of the second act, and recalled once more alone after one of the acts. Schwartz, Coletti, and Lablache, more fa miliar with their parts, were likewise still more effec tive than on the first night. The great attraction of the night was the re-ap• pearance of Carlotta Grisi, with the two other great dancers of the establishment, Rosati and Cerrito, in one of the choice creations of Perrot, Les Elemeru. Carlotta Grisi was received with the utmost warmth of welcome when she first appeared on the stage. After she bad danced the applause was still more en thusiastic ; and well it might be, for this great dancer is infinitely improved. The aplomb and originality of her steps are extraordinary, their rapidity beyond precedent, and their daring is softened by inimitable grace. Rosati and Cerrito well maintained their great and well-merited reputation, and more en cores were demanded of them than they could respond to. The scene presented great piquancy, and ex cited great amusement; and Les Elemens will, no doubt, for a time, exclude all other devices of cho regraphy. His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia honoured the performance with his presence, occupying the box of the Queen Dowager. His Serene Highness Prince Frederick William of Hesse was also present, and the house generally was well attended by a crowded and fashionable audience. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN. Donizetti's opera, La Favorite, was produced here last evening, with Grisi as the heroine. Her acting and singing were magnificent, and she was admi rably supported by Mario. The raise en scene of the opera was superb. The new ballot of Nirense fol lowed. Her Majesty's box was occupied by the Hon. Mrs. Phipps, Colonel and Mrs. Bathurst. There were also present their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Metternich, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, Lady Blanche Somerset and the Earl and Countess of Wilton.

LAST NIGHT'S OBSTRUCTION TO REFORM. The obstruction to the reform movement, offered lad night is the House of Commons, by one party, and the extraordinary declaration of another that the middle and working classes do not desire such reforms as are advocated by the Reform League, have given rise to the following letter from Mr. Hume, which he has f orwar d e d to us T for publication:— TO HE REFORMERS .OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. House of Commons, Midnight, May 23, 1846. Gentlemen,—You are aware that this evening was fixed for bringing forward that important motion re specting the reform of the representation which had been decided on after much consideration and communi cation with the reformers of the country, as best adapted to conciliate and unite the largest amount of publics opinion. _ . . A previous motion of Lord George Bentinck's has occupied the attention of the House until after eleven o'clock, when it appeared to myself and friends around me that it was too late to secure for the question that discussion to which it is entitled; and I have therefor. been compelled to postpone the motion to the 20th June, that being the earliest vacant day on the order book of the House. The Prime Minister having seised this opportunity of stating, in his place, that neither the middle nor the working class of this country are favourable to the reforms of which I had given notice, the delay will afford you, the reformers of the United Kingdom, the means of making known your opinions and wishes is the usual constitutional manner.—l remain your obedient humble servant, JOSEPH HUME.
