Mr. WATKIN WILLIAMS called attention to the position and state of the Established Church in the dominion and principality of Wales, and moved the following resolu tions :—" That, in the opinion of this House, it is right that the Establishment of the Church and its Union with the State should cease to exist in the said dominion and principality. That it is just and expedient' that the public endowments enjoyed by the Church Esta blishment should, after making provision for all vested interests, be applied to the support of a national and un- denominational system of education for the said dominion and principality of Wales." He said that the Church in the prin cipality was comprised in, although it was not absolutely co-extensive with, four dioceses, which extended over an area of 4,734,000 acres. The population of Wales, accord ing to the census of 1861, comprised within the dioceses was 1,111,780, and according to the best estimate he could form the population now was 1,220,000 in the Principality. The total revenue of the Church was, abcording to the best estimate he could make, £350,000 per annum. It had four bishops, four deans, 13 canons residentiary, 10 archdeacons, and numerous minor dignitaries, with a parochial clergy amounting, in round numbers, to 1,000, although he found that they were put down at 733. The Church established in the Principality of Wales was an ancient and venerable institution. It was not like the Church in Ireland, an alien Church, forced upon the people by the conqueror and oppressor. It was not, and he thought he was right in saying so, regarded by the people with feelings of hos tility. Indeed he might say that in many respects it was regarded with affection and veneration. If, therefore, he succeeded in shewing that the Established Church in Wales had not succeeded in gaining the affections and confidence of the people ; if it were not the trusted and loved teacher of religion, the question naturally arose what was the cause of it. It could not be from want of opportunity, nor from the want of the most favourable opportunity. It was not because it had been regarded by the people with hostility, as the Established Church in Ireland had been. The question was of course a most serious one. The answer to the question why the Church in Wales had not succeeded in gaining the confidence of the people would give them the solution to the problem, which he intended laying before the House, and according to the answer would depend whether the remedy for the existing state of things, was a separation of the Church from the State, and a removal of its endowments to other purposes or a re-modelling of the Church, and an endeavour to constitute it upon a different and more practical basis. After the most care ful and anxious study of the subject, he had come to the conclusion that the true reason why the Established Church in the Principality of Wales had failed was the same that applied throughout Europe, that the people had come to think that the establishment of religion by the State was unscriptural and injurious to the cause of true religion. The hon. gentleman then dealt with the subject historically, remarking that up to the middle of the eighteenth century namely 1745, no great progress had been made in the cir culation of the Scriptures in the Welsh language. As a fact, every effort had been made by the English to Angli cise the Welsh, and although he had been sneered at and ridiculed for saying so, he would repeat his statement that it was the most gross error if they wished to anglicise the people of the Principality by making them understand English to endeavour to exterminate the Welsh language. He said that a revolution in thought was taking place throughout the Continent of Europe and the whole of the civilised world, in comparison with which the Re formation, and the revolution of thought that took place upon the introduction of the printing press, was abso lutely as nothing. The railway system and the inter communion of tnought through the medium of the press, was annihilating old notions, and everybody was destroy ing each other's preconceived ideas and prejudices. (Cheers and laughter.) It had been said that if they disestab lished the Church in Wales, they might as well disestab lish the Church in Cornwall or Yorkshire. All he could say was that Cornwall and Yorkshire should look after themselves—(hear, hear.)—He had been told that it was premature to bring the subject forward, but he did not think, if it were put, that an end should be put to the state of things, that st was too soon. At the same time he did not pretend to say his countrymen were impatient as to the result. All he could say was that they felt that the time had come when the House would listen and pay attention to the question. His object would be obtained by what he'had already said and done. He believed that if the measure he suggested were carried out it would con duce to religion and morality in the principality. When the whole facts were ascertained he believed the House with its spirit of moderation would do the Principality the not practically possible to separate the case of Wales from the case of England. The object of the hon. gentle man was obvious, and he might say that they were not prepared. to enter upon a crusade against the English Church Establishment. Government did not think it was their duty in the first place to endeavour to determine that question by any abstract resolution for national dis establishment. If there were those who considered that national establishments were opposed under all circum stances to the principles of the Christian religion they did not belong to that number. Mr. 0. MORGAN read a number of statistics to show the great preponderance of dissent in Wales. He sup ported the motion on the ground that as matters now stood in that party of the country, the Church establish ment was kept up for the rich minority at the expense of the poor majority. He, however, felt that the meeting of the question by an abstract resolution was not the mode that ought to have been pursued, because they did nothing if carried, and scarcely ever resulted in any practical good. Mr. SCOURFIELD 'objected to the resolutions, and ridi culed the idea of devoting the funds of the Church of Wales to general and unsectarian education. The House divided, when there appeared—Ayes 45, noes 209. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES ACTS (1866-1869) REPEAL. Mr. WILLIAM FOWLER, at twenty minutes past seven, was about to move for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the Contagious Diseases Acts, when Mr. CRAWFURD called the attention of the Speaker to the presence of strangers. The result was that the occupiers of the strangers' gal lery, the ladies, and the reporters had to withdraw. The discussion was conducted with closed doors until a quarter past eleven, when the debate was adjourned. HORSE RACING. Mr. T. HUGHES moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws relating to horse racing. In speaking of the evils of horse racing he alluded to the melancholy results of turf betting, pointing to the cases of bank ruptcy which had occurred merely from speculation on horses. He said, too, that he had witnessed the rise of many illiterate meu to fortune simply through good luck in regard to horse racing. He called the attention of the House to the fact that he had received many anonymous letters, abusing him for the notice,which he had given, and remarked that turf betting had degenerated into a trade. The state of things had become so bad that it was high time something should be done unless the matter was to become hopeless. It appeared to him that it was impossible any longer to rely upon the Jockey Club, although he quite admitted that they still believed that they had the power to set all things right. The bill, which he asked leave to read a first time, in the first place proposed to abolish two year old racing, and in the second place to return to the state of the law as it stood before the year 1833. He also proposed to introduce into the bill a clause providing that any person who took a deposit of money for the pur pose of a bet on the understanding or contract that some thing was to be returned on a certain event turning out one way or another, should be amenable to the penal ties of the Betting Act; that was to say he should be fined the sum of £3O, a third going to the poor of the parish where the act was committed, and two-thirds to the per son who prosecuted the offender. Sir H. Hot. RE seconded the motion. He spoke against the immorality and evils arising from betting. In the course of the discussion Viscount ROYSTON as serted that the House had no right to legislate on such a subject: His opinion was that the bill would do no good. - He argued that they could not put a stop to betting, because it was a contract, a matter of honourable feeling, which the law could not control. The members of the Jockey Club, he said, were wiling to do all they could to put a stop to what was called the abuse of the turf. The House had never yet interfered with questions of pub lic sport. Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE thought that the House was _ _ totally incompetent to deal with the subject of two-year old racing. It would be a work of supererogation to bring in a bill. It would be printed at the expense of the public, and they would hear no more about it. He thought they might leave the matter to the Jockey Club to legislate upon. He would like to know what the Government in tended to do. Mr. BRUCE thought there was great good sense in what the last speaker had said with reference to two-year-olds. That matter, he thought, might be left to the Jockey Club. With respect to bettilig he should be glad, on the part of the Government, to put down betting trans actions. _ _ _ --______ Mr. HUGHES said that if the Home Secretary had in the bill he was going to introduceprovidedfor the subjects which he embraced in his bill he should not have pressed it. At a quarter to one the house divided on the motion, with the following result :—Ayes, 132 ; noes, 44. KENSINGTON-ROAD IMPROVEMENT BILL. justice they required. Mr.GLADsToNE then addressedthe House. He remarked that his hon. friend had entered into an historical discus sion of great historical interest, and he was bound to say that having been led to give some attention to that aspect of the subject, he was not able to read the history of Wales precisely in the same sense. He was, however, disposed to attach greater consequences to that unwise and anti-national policy which was pursued for a great length of time by this country, and of which the State church appointments were unfortunately made the medium, than the consequences to what his hon. friend attached to it. He was not surprised that his hon. friend was struck by the quantity of the facts which attached to the condition of the church in Wales. There was to a certain extent a resemblance between the case of the church in Wales and the case of the Church in Ireland ; but that resemblance should not be exaggerated, if they considered and en deavoured to compare them with respect to numbers. His hon. friend said that he thought the Churchmen of Wales might be reckoned at about one-sixth part of the popu lation. He believed that the Churchmen themselves were accustomed to claim that they were about one-fourth of the population, but whichever of these figures might be nearer the truth, there was no doubt that it was a disproportion very remarkable in the case of a church purporting to be the church of the nation. It was not indeed at all in correspondence with the dispro portion which prevailed in Ireland, because there one ninth or one-tenth of the people were members of the Established Church. There was another point in which the Welsh Church corresponded with that of the Irish Church, and it was this, that so large a pro portion of her members belonged to the upper classes which were not able to provide them selves with the ministers of religion, and therefore in whose special and peculiar interest it was most difficult to make any effectual appeal for public resources and support. But with regard to other points the case of the Welsh was widely different from the Irish Church. In the first place it was quite impossible to compare the breadth of the severance between the Established Church in Wales and noncon formity, and that between the Irish establishment and the Roman Catholics of that country. He did not mean simply upon theological grounds, but he meant also upon the grounds of sympathy or hostility of sentiment. The whole case was entirely different. There was a strong and sharp antagonism between the Established Church and the Roman Catholic Church throughout Ireland, and the ecclesiastical antagonism was complicated and embittered by the mixture of political ques tions even graver than the ecclesiastical contro versy of the country, so that the effect as a whole was this, that the several portions of the population were placed almost in an attitude of standing social hostility. Whatever view might be taken of the anomalous position of the Church in Wales, his hon. friend would be the first to admit that it would be the most gross exaggeration to ' profess that any thing like a resemblance of the general position exist ing as between the Welsh and the Irish in the attitude of members of the Church on one hand and the members of non-conforming bodies on the other. Again, the reli gious differences in Ireland were based in the ancient his tory of the country, whilst the religious difference in Wales was entirely modern. All these things shewed that if from any cause the discussion of the question of the Irish Church had led to this early discussion of the case of the Church in Wales, still it would be a most precipitate and erroneous conclusion to assume that there was a substantial identity between them, even if they confined their view strictly to what was within the limits of Ireland in the one case, and within the limits of Wales in the other. With regard to there being no warrant for the existence of national establish. ments of religion, he thought his friend had wholly failed to prove that it was so, and he thought the proof of it was this, that although it was quite true that Welsh Noncon formity was comparatively recent, yet it had taken its root in the country, and bad become the popular' religion of the country more than half a century ago ; and at that time his noble friend would have found it most difficult, if not absolutely impossible, to find even the faintest trace of a controversy with regard to the establishment of a religion. The growth of Welsh dissent was, in his opinion, owing to the cruel anti national policy which was pursued even for a longer time than the hon. gentleman had stated in regard to ecclesiastical appointments in that country. Mr. Gladstone went on to say that it was Mr. AYRTON nominated the following select committee on the Kensington-road Improvement Bill :—Mr. Charles Howard, Sir Rainald Knightley, Mr. Thomas Potter, Sir Frederick Heygate, and Mr. Ayrton. Sir H. HOARE moved that the order for the appoint ment of the committee be discharged, and remarked that the bill contained a novel principle. Mr. AYRTON said the gentlemen whom he had nomi nated had no interest lB the locality, and would form a perfectly impartial tribunal. Mr. LOCKE complained of the contemplated removal of the forty-eight trees, and urged the First Commissioner of Works to ask an adequate sum if they gave up a por tion of Hyde Park in the same way, as the Metropolitan Board of Works had to pay 230,000 for building the em bankment on a portion of the foreshore which they had reclaimed. Mr. CUBITT complained that the Governmont had not laid their plans fully before the House. Mr. BRUCE, on the part of the Government, undertook to give the House the fullest information as to the plans. The names of the gentlemen chosen by Mr. Ayrton wer a sufficient guarantee that the inquiry would be an impar tial one, Mr. SAMUDA said the ground which WPS to b 0 given for £2,000 was worth £lOO,OOO. He objected to the composi tion of the committee. On a division the order was discharged. LIFE AT SEA BILL. _ _ Mr. Pumsom.,att;enty-five minutes to two, moved the second reading of this bill. The House was very thin and the hon. member was very impatiently heard. He argued that there was wholesale constructive murder going on at our ports, and he was going on to point out the immense importance of the subject, when he was warned by the attitude of the House that he could not hope for an attentive hearing. The hon. member stated that he would postpone the second reading until next Tuesday. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAT MORNING, MAY 25; Good Wine Not Out Gladice near Denham, said :—OnlSunday morning last, having lost the key of one of my doors, I went search of it, and when near the Plough Inn I saw a man zoming from the direction of the deceased's house. It was then about seven o'clock. He had a greenish, middle sized bag in his hand, and it appeared to be about half full. I overtook him when I reached the main road. He asked me if I was hurrying to meet the train. I walked with him for about three-quarters of a mile. He at length said, " I was nearly running over a man and his wife last night. she had a baby in her arms, and a boy at her feet. The husband threatened to throw her in the cut, and the boy as well." I asked her why sho did not go home, and she said she was afraid of hes husband. I said I would go a long way to assist a woman, and I told the husband that if he did not go quietly with his wife he would go with me. The husband asked me who I was, and I said, " A man ;" and I struck the man that was speaking to his wife. He also added that he had spent nearly the whole night with them, and it had taken him a long distance out of his way to save the wife. On Saturday night at about eight oclock I saw the deceased, Emanuel Marshall, returning home with his wife in a cart. He had a white smockfrock on, but there were no children. The man I mot had dark clothes on, and on leaving me he asked me where I lived, saying he would return the key if he found it. " Why, I live near your house," having mistaken him for Mr. Marshall. He told me, however, that he was a stranger ; and I said, " Then I saw you come out of Marshall's house just now." He said, '` You did. That man, his wife, his mother, and his children are all gone for a holiday this morning." I said, " I suppose they started by the six o'clock train ?" and he replied, " Yes, at about half-past five." While I was talking two men passed ; one was Thomas, the son of Mr. Arnold, but I did not know the other. Job Sparks, residing at Foundry-terrace, Uxbridge, said he was the brother of Charlotte Marshall. Emanuel Marshall had an old-fashioned watch and a gold chain of his father's. He had been to Mr. Butcher, pawnbroker at Uxbridge, and saw a guard which he believed to have belonged to Mary Aim Marshall. The shoes which Emanuel was supposed to have worn on Saturday were not to be found. Mary Ann Sparks of Waterloo-road, Uxbridge Moor, stated that Charlotte Marshall was her sister. She last saw her on Friday night, when she came to her house, accompanied by her sister-in-law, Mary Ann Mar shall, who was about to be married. It had been reported that Marshall had two brothers away in Australia, and that one of them had recently returned, but she was not aware there was any foundation for the statement. She was not aware that any unpleasantry had taken place be tween any members of the family. Emanuel had been deficient of money, and he complained that he was unable to obtain what was owed him. At this juncture, the inquest was adjourned till Friday iext- SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BATH MEETING-YESTERDAY LANSD OWN STAKES. Chivalry . Playmate Vulcan Five ran. EIGHTEENTH_ BIENNIAL.

LEEDS WOOLLEN CLOTH TRADE, TUESDAY.-A slight im provement in trade has been presented to-day. More is being done in goods for the autumn and winter trades ; but to-day's markets in the cloth halls have not shewn much anima tion-the aggregate quantity of cloth which left the hall is very little more than last Tuesday. The improvement is chiefly in trade at warehouses, and in the giving out of orders by shipping houses. A little is doing on Canadian account both in ordinary plain goods and heavy cloths ; but it cannot be said that buyers operate freely. It is doubtful whether the season's sales will be of an average character. Indeed, many Canadian buyers who formerly made their purchases or gave their orders for heavy goods in Leeds now go to Dewsbury, Ossett, and Batley, the chief seats of the manufacture of overcoating. The other manufacturing industries besides that of cloth in this town are gradually im proving, and (as was stated at the annual meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce) there are many signs that the general trade of Leeds is returning. A more sound and healthy condition is ma rked ; a period of prosperity has set in. HULL CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.-There was, a small supply o f English wheat.

The Vice-Chancellor of Ireland (Mr. Chatterton) when leaving the yard of his residence, Fitzwillam-street, Dublin, on horseback, last Friday evening, was flung to the ground. He sustained a dislocation of the shoulder, and is at present suffering rather severe pain, but other wise there are no serious symptoms. THE UXBRIDGE TRAGEDY. ARREST OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER. Last evening a man named John Jenkins was arrested at Reading, on suspicion of being the perpetrator of the seven murders at Denham, near Uxbridge. The follow ing particulars have been collected :—lmmediately after the police at Reading had received telegraphic details of the murder from Superintendent Dunham, of the Uxbridge police, Detective Tolman saw a man cross the bridge near the police-station. He did not then interfere with him, but went on further, expecting to meet Superintendent Dunham, who was to come by train. He met the superintendent some few hundred yards further, and having given him a description of the man he had just met, they went together and followed him up London street. The prisoner was then in company with a well-known bad fellow of the town, and two men were kept in view by the superintendent and detective as they wended their way into Silver-street, a low resort of thieves and prostitutes. Jenkins and his associate en tered the Oxford Arms, where Detective Tolman saw them sitting in the tap-room. Immediately the prisoner saw Tolman . he put his hand into his pocket. The detec tive seized his hand and pushedhis own hand into the man's pocketa and pulled out a loaded pistol. Superintendent Dunham put on the handcuffs, and said to the prisoner, " I arrest you on a charge of murdering seven people at Den ham." Jenkins replied, " I never murdered man, woman, or child, but I know who did." Prisoner was then brought to the police-station, followed by some hundreds of people who closed round the gates, and soon increased to a mob. Prisoner was at once placed in a cell, and two of the police men locked in with him. In his pocket were found seve ral slugs, which looked as if they had been cut off an iron rod. Prisoner was dressed in what are said to be the mur dered man's clothes, which consisted of a skull cap, white blouse, and boots. He is stated to be , a boiler maker, and in appearance he looks like an engine driver. Not long after he had been placed in the cell a cabman recognised the prisoner as a man who had offered him the ticket of a watch and guard for sale in the Great Western tap, near the Reading Railway Station. The cabman said he was half-inclined to purchase the dupli cate,but did not do so. The cabman when he looked through the lattice, at once said " That is the man." The prisoner looked up and said, " I am the man, what do you want ? " He came and put his face to the lattice, and asked if they would give him some beer. Sergeant Robey told him they did not allow beer. The prisoner continued to press his face to the lattice, and endeavoured to stare the reporters out of countenance. He is apparently between forty and fifty years of age, and has very jet black whiskers,and dark piercing eyes. Evidently he was getting more excited as the 'evening wore on. There is little doubt that the prisoner intended to shoot himself if it had not been for the activity of the detective who took the revolver from him. Jenkins arrived in Reading about 11 yesterday morning and was seen hanging about the town all day. It is stated that when passing near the scene of the murder early on Monday morning he accosted a woman, and afterwards a policeman, and told them that there had been a fearful row between a man and his wife. Prisoner was then dressed in ragged clothes. The friends of the deceased afterwards found some clothes in the blacksmith's shop, and on these being shown to the police man he immediatelyrecognised them as those he saw on the man who had accosted him. The prisoner next spoke to a tramp, and was dressed then in a dark suit. He slept with the tramp that night ; and it appears that the tramp afterwards gave information to the police, and Superin tendent Dunham at once proceeded in the direction of Reading, accompanied by the tramp. Superintendent Dunham, Tolman, the detective, and the tramp afterwards proceeded to Silver-street to obtain an entrance to the Borough Arms. They pretended that they were searching for a woman, and thus gained the tap room. Immediately the prisoner saw the tramp he recognised him and put his hand in his pocket for his pistol. During the day the prisoner sold some clothes to a Mr. Lyon, a dealer in second-hand clothes, Union-street, Reading. The clothes consisted of a tunic and waistcoat, and he received ss. 6d. for them. This money was found on him. The prisoner when in the cell continued to assert that 'he neither murdered man, woman, nor child. Mr. Boyes, the deputy.governor of the county gaol, has recognised him as a prisoner who had served eighteen months in Reading gaol, which sentence only expired four months ago. It is stated that the prisoner only came out of Coldbath-fields one month since. By 8, the chief constable of Bucks having arrived, preparations were made for conveying the prisoner to the railway station. The crowd outside the police station had become very clamorous, and the fact that the prisoner was to be removed caused many hundreds of people to assemble at the railway station. Detective Tolman was then despatched for a cab. Six strong men went into the cell, and the prisoner quietly:qr.], mitted to de handcuffed with an additional pair of irons. He then requested that they would be quick and be off. He was then conducted to the cab, surveying with evident fear the swaying crowd on the bridge as it pressed forward to catch a glimpse of him. Superintendent Purchase, however, had well placed his men, and the prisoner was escorted safely to the cab amidst the groans and hisses of the multitude. At the railway station a still more excited crowd waited to receive him. The railway officials were on the alert, and the prisoner was quickly and safely transferred from the cab to the railway carriage, which, after some delay, was attached to the eight p.m. train. The town is still much excited. Jenkins declares that he is not the murderer, but that to-day he will confess who he is. THE CORONER'S INQUEST. Mr. Charlsley, the coroner for South Bucks, opened an inquiry at the Swan Tavern, yesterday morning, into the circumstance attending the deaths of Emanuel Marshall, the father, aged 35 ; Charlotte, his wife, 34 ; Mary Ann, his sister, 32 ; Mary, the eldest child, 8; Theresa, 6 ; Gertrude, 4 • and Mary Marshall, the grandmother , 77 . A jury of 'l5, with the Rev. Charles Joyce, the curate of the parish of Denham, as foreman, having been sworn, they proceeded to view the ' bodies, and returning to the inquest room, Charles Trevener, No. 27, of the Bucks police, deposed ; lam stationed at Denham. I have been there 12 months, and have durin g that time known the deceased perso ns . I have been into the house once or twice. They were, all living together. Emmanuel Marshall was the tenant of the house. He was an engineer by trade. Mrs. Mary Marshall (deceased) is his mother ; Cuarlotte Marshall was his wife ; Mary Ann Marshall was his sister, and the chil dren his daughters. At eleven o'clock on Saturday morn ing last I saw Emmanuel Marshall at work in his shop. He came out and spoke to me as I passed. The children, Mary and Therera Marshall were playing in the road in front of the house. The deceased man was in the habit of working late. I have known him to work all hours of the night, and sometimes all night long. I did not pass the house again on Saturday, nor did I go close by the house on Saturday. I passed the house along the main road. On Sunday morning I came from Red Hill into the villages which is about a mile and a half. This was about ten minutes before three. I then met a man alone. I did not perceive that he had anything with him, except a quantity of clothes on. It was just getting daylight. He had a low deer-stalker (a felt hat) on, a very old dark coat, and under that a short light one. Both coats were buttoned tightly. He had cord trousers on and thin shoes. As we were passing he said, " I wish I had seen you before, policeman." I said "What's the matter now ?" He said, "There was a man and his wife come into Uxbridge and were going along the cut, and the man threatened to throw his wife into the cut. If he had thrown her in I would have thrown him in. I asked him if he knew anything of them. He said, " No, I am quite a stranger about here." I said, " Where do you belong to ? " He said, lam going along the road from Oxford. Which is my best road ? " I told him to go along the village, and when he got fifty or sixty yards away I followed him. I called to him and he stopped, and I said, " I will show you the way," He thanked me, and after I had directed him, he bid me good night, and went. Coroner : How far was he from the house where the bodies lie ? Witness : About a third of a mile. He was near this house. Which way was he coming?—From Uxbridge. How did you know of the murder first ?—A young man came down to the village and told me that the house had been found open, and the bodies hid been discovered. I Went to the house and found the doors open. I found two bodies—the wife and the sister—lying just inside the door. The head of the wife was lying towards the door, and the sister's feet were towards her head. A petticoat was over over them. About two feet from them was the sledge hammer.produced, which is covered with blood. I then went into the workhouse and found the bodies of the three children and the grandmother. Near two of the children who lay together I found the axe produced, which is also covered with blood. The bodies of the children were not covered with anything but there was something covered over the grandmother. Alllthe deceased persons with the excep tion of the wife had night clothes on. The wife had her dress partially , driven on over her night-dress. There were extensive wounds on the heads of all the bodies, and a great deal of blood on the floors. There were pools of blood in some of the rooms. One of the bodies appeared to have been dragged from the wash-house. I then went into the forge, which is a building adjoining the house. The door was just closed. I found there the body of Emmanuel, the father, lying flat on his face , with his hands stretched out. He had apparently been dragged. The body was covered with a s ack, an apron, and an old cost. There was a pool of bloo d a few yards from the body, apd part of the poker which I produced was lying near the body. The two pieces of poker correspodd with the shovel and tongs found in the parlour of the house. Some clothes were found in a room of the house this morning, in my presence. I went up stairs. Three beds .had apparently been useil. There was no evidence of any struggles. Elizabeth Simpson, wife of a groom, living at Cheapside, MONETARY REPORTS--TUESDAY. During the earlier part of the day the stock markets generally presented an animated appearance, and the quotations improved in many instances. Sub sequently the demand became weaker, and a portion of the advance was lost ; nevertheless, the tone on the whole has not been unfavourable. Consols opened steadily, but - closed rather easier at 94k, 941 for delivery, and 94 3-16, 94 5-16 for June. Reduced and New Three per Cents 92k, 92a ; Exchequer bills par, ss. prem. ; Bank stock 234, 236 ; Indian Five per Cents. have been done at 114, 1141, and Indian Bonds 205., 255. prem. The demand for English railway stocks has not been active, but. the fluctuations in prices have been about evenly balanced. The principal feature has been the inquiry for North-Eastern Consols, at an advance of !I. South-Eastern and Midland are each better, whilst London and North-Western shews a rise of On the other hand Great Northern A has fallen Metropolitan I, and London and Brighton Indian Stocks have been quiet but firm. For Canadian shares there has been only a moderate demand, neverthe less in prices no change has taken place. Foreign shares have been quiet, Lomb'ards have fallen but Great Luxembourg have risen The announcement that Marshal Espartero will accept the throne, provided that he be elected by the Cortes, has stimulated the inquiry for Spanish securities. Brazilian (1865) Loan have risen i ; Egyptian Government Railway Debentures, i ; Portuguese, i; and Italian (1861) i ; and Swedish (1862), i per cent. ; but Peruvian (1865) have fallen i. American securities have been steady. Twenty Bonds have risen The Five- In Mining Shares, the transactions have been restricted. Assheton have fallen t, but Pacific have risen .1. For Bank shares, there has been a firm demand, and the late advance has been maintained. As regards Telegraph shares, Anglo-American and French Cables have advanced A, but Anglo-Mediterranean have been A lower. Miscellaneous securities have been dealt in quietly. Hudson's Bay shares have receded I t. The sum of £46,000 has been sent into the Bank to- day. The Rhine, from New York, has brought £11,900. The directors of the Chartered Bank of Australia re commend a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. and a bonus of 1 per cent. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have resolved that on and after the 25th inst., the Metropolitan stock shall be quoted ex-surplus Land shares. Quietness has been the feature of the Money Market. There has been a fair supply of capital, but the demand for accommodation has not been active, and Three Months' Paper has been negotiated at 2i to 3 per cent. The Prussian, from Quebec, has brought £37,600 in specie, and the Pereire has arrived at Brest from New York, with £74,800 in specie. The New Peruvian Loan for £12,000,000 will be intro 7 1 duced here and in Paris in the course of a few days. 2 A prospectus has appeared of the Northern Silver-Lead 3 and Blende Mining Company (Limited). with a capital of £30,000 in £4 shares, to purchase for £17,000, of which 1 £4,000 is to be in cash, and the remainder in paid-up 2 shares, a mining property at New Ramsey, in the Isle 3 of man. A dividend of 2s. in the pound, making with former dividends Bs. Bd., is now being paid to the creditors of Harper Twelvetrees (Limited), at the offices of the liqui dators. The following from the Commercial and Shipping Journal, forwarded by Messrs. Borradaile, Thompson, Hall, and Co., refers to the state of commercial affairs at Cape Town on the 18th ult :—There has been a good deal of activity in activity, and country buyers have put in a very respectable appearance, buying pretty freely of most goods for the coming winter season. We notice that country dealers are in' much better spirits than we have known for years past; they have shared with the farmers in the benefit of our last season's good crops, and now look forward hopefully to the future, in the expectation of being able to extend their business with some degree of safety, and with more chance of a fair profit upon thei transactions than they have had for a long time. With these encouraging signs of progress, however, busi ness is still confined to moderate limits, and very few operations take place of sufficient importance to require special notice. Over-trading, as it existed two or three years ago, has ceased, and only such goods are ordered and imported as can readily, in moderate time, be passed off into consumption. We do not think we are justified in in looking forward to much improvement on our present position. In the Western Provinces our outlet for goods is very limited, and the ground is now fully occupied. Until there is more realised wealth in the country, creating a more generous demand for ordinary articles of import—to say nothing of the reasonable luxuries that most civilised countries make use of—we do not see any very great room for expansion, or much chance of a largely-increased import trade, This can only be the result of years of agricultural prosperity, and by making the best use of our resources in the cultivation of new and valuable items of export. At a meeting of the Great Britain Mutual Life Assurance Society, it was shewn that during the year, the proposals for new assurances submitted to the Society have numbered 852, for the sum of £253,315, and have been disposed of as follows :-75, for £35,265, have not been carried out ; 36. for £11,600, the directors have declined ; .and 741 proposals have been completed, and policies issued, for the sum of £206.450, yielding a new annual premium income of £6,683 13s. 2d. The sums assured has been £206,450, against £163,983 in 1868, and £106,560 in 1867. The yearly income of the society amounts to £64,652185. lid. The claims and endowments paid have amounted to £37,221145. sd. The assets of the society at the close of the past year amounted to £834,332 9s. Bd., and the liabilities to £711,257 14s. 10d., she-wing a surplus fund of £123,074 14s. 10d. By the advice of the actuary, the directors recommend that an allowance of 21 per cent. be awarded on the premiums payable during the present year by policy-holders entitled to participate in the profits of the society. The rate of interest obtained on the invested funds of the society in the past year has averaged more than 5 per cent. The realised funds of the society, together with the future premiums, represent an equivalent of £123 ss. for every £lOO assured. The sinres of the Now Rosario Mining Company are at 1-16 to 3-16 prem. LONDON STOOK EXC 11A N G-TUESDAY.
