IMPERIAL PA (TH!$ 11 RLIAME AY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly alter Twelve o'clock. TIIE CHOLERA. Mr. FREWEN wished to put a question to t'te Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Home Department. From accounts that appeared in the paprs, it was stated that several very bad cases of cholera had cccurred in London, and that that dreadful disease was considerably on the increase. He wished to know whether the Go vernment had taken any practical .proceedings to secure the health of the metropolis, and more particularly whether anything had been done to put a stop to interments in the churchyard of St. Margaret, near that House? Sir G. GREY said that the Board of Health had taken every precaution to prevent the spread of cholera in the metropolis, but they had no power to prevent burials in metropolitan churchyards. POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL, The House then went into Committee on this Bill. On the 12th clause bring proposed, Mr. HENLEY said ho feared the operation of the clause would he found very prejudicial, and would give great encouragement to oppression and litigation by ex tending judgments to small sums. Mr. NAPIER thought the observations of the Hon. Member applied to the 13th rather than to the 12th clause. Sir D. NORREYS considered that there ought to be a cl•+use to give additional facilitation for the collection of the rates. Colonel DUNNE agreed with the Hon. Member for Oxfordshire, that the clause would lead to oppression and litigation. Mr. FRENCH objected to the clause. Mr. S f AFFORD thought that the effect of this clause would be that there would be no such thing as a tenement left in Ireland. Colonel DUNNE wished to explain a statement which the Hon. Member for Northamptonshire had frequently made in the course of the debate, that the majority of Irish Members had voted against the maximum rate ; now the real state of the case was that the majority of Irish Members who had voted for the maximum rate was as great as the minority who had voted against it. Mr. SCULLY thought that if this clause were passed it would be greatly to the benefit of Ireland. After a few words of explanation from Sir G. GREY, Mr. HENLEY thought that it was necessary to con fine the remedy which was proposed to the district in which the poor-rates Were raised. In many parts of Ireland receivers were appointed, and he thought this system was a great curse to the country. In those parts where the rates were not paid they would find receivers. He would throw a suggestion to the promoters of the Bill that the receiver should be obliged to pay the rate when a civic Bill was handed over to him. Mr. SCROPE referred the House to the evidence of a deputy-lieutenant of the county Mayo, by which the ap pointment of receivers was declared to be of great benefit. Mr. NAPIER thought that the suggestion of the Hon. Member for Oxfordshire was provided for in the 13th clause. Mr. HENLEY could not see that it was. After a few words from Mr. NAPIER and Sir GEORGE GREY, Mr. MONSELL thought that Government had been guilty of several omissions in the enactment of this Bill; and, especially, in not limiting the operation of this clause to the electoral division. Mr. GROGAN decidedly approved of the suggestion of the Honourable Member fur Oxfordshire. Mr. STAFFORD said, disguise the matter as they would, the effect of the clause would be to make one man pay the debts left unsatisfied by the preceding tenant, who might have left his rates unpaid. He was, therefore, much opposed to it. Sir LUCIUS O'BRIEN denied that Irish proprietors wished to sea out their tenants, and was glad to see the Noble Lord at the head of the Government in his place. He insisted that the recommendations of the Committee should be embodied in the Bill. The 41. rating clause w,is the cause of the evictions in Kilrush, and the landlords had not received any rent from the tenants for several years. Last year he had to pay one hundred pounds in rates for small houses on his pro perty, from the tenants of which, he had received rent; but next year such would be the condition of that pro perty that he should be compelled to summon the tenants. He stated other cases of injustice to landlords. Mr. P. SCROPE objected to landlords being allowed to have any summary powers beyond those they pos sessed to eject tenants who were in arrear with their rates. At such a season, when crops were failing and the tenants could not pay their rents, surely they would not add any other stringent powers to the hundreds that had already b. en passed by landlord Parliaments. Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought his Hun. Friend (Sir George Grey) was quite right in not committing himself to any future clauses which the Committee might have to consider, because it was obvious that this was a question of great difficulty, and that it would be very inconvenient if the Government were to be com mitted to future clauses, and called upon to enact that which, on consideration, they might not think ex pedient.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") The proposal of the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Limerick, seemed very feasible—that, in the first place, the rates should be levied on the electoral division, and, in the second place, that the landlord should have the power to come into the possession of his land, for the purpose of enabling him to pay the rates for which he had become liable. On the one hand, the second seemed a fair proposition; but, nevertheless, the objection of the 11. Member (Mr. Scrape) was a strong one. Indeed, he should be sorry to give further power ofejectment in Ire land in order that tenants might be turned out when these rates becama due. On the other hand, a landlord who finds that his tenant would neither pay rent nor rates, he thought to make the landlord liable for a long period of arrears, when, if he had been in possession (d his property, he could have paid it, would be a great hardship.—(Hear.) He thought, therefore, that some limitation of time as to his responsibility in this respect would go to some extent to remedy the inconvenience complained of. Colonel DUNNE said, he had expected some provi sion would have been made in the Bill before the Howe srith respect to the arrears of rent due from the tenants. Mr. VESEY thought there ought to be some provi sion to prevent a landlord being made liable for the rates of an unfortunate tenant, between whom and the eel lectors there might be some c dlusi , es. It some such provision as that was introduced into the Bill, he would vote with the Noble Lord at the head of the Govern ment; if not, he would vote against it. Mr. NAPIER agreed in the propriety of that sugges tion, but thought it was not involved in the clause under consideration. _ _ Lord J. RUSSELL said he would endeavour to bring in a clause which would carry out the suggestion. After a few words from Lord NAAS, Mr. GROGAN said he would put the case of an oe cup) leg tenant who got into arrear with his rates. He was summoned into a court of law, and a judg ment obtained agaitut him. The probability was that he was in arrear with his rent also, and the landlord would naturally take the course o putting an end to the tenancy. A judgment at tached to the tenant's interest in the land; the landlord put an end to the tenancy, and what became of the judgment creditor? Sir G. GREY made an observation on the case put by the Hon. Member (Mr. Grogan) which was inaudible in the gallery. Sir L. O'BRIEN said with respect to land lying waste, there were cases in which a long period occurred before the landlord could get possession of it, and when the landlord ejected the tenant, he (the land. lord) found that he had not only lost his rent, but was liable for a very large sum for poor-rates. He (Sir L. O'Brien) did think tne Government ought to make some provision for a case of that kind. Mr. STAFFORD suggested the postponement of the consideration ot those twoclauses until t h e y were brought up in connexion with `the clauses which, as he under stood, the Government had pledged themselves to bring in. Mr. HERBERT was opposed to the principle of selling one man's property for the debt of another. Sir W. BARRON could not agree to the clause with out some positive understanding that there should be some limit to it, and that the House would not give the power to sell without giving also the power to take possession of the land from the party for whose debt the land was about to be sold. He protested against the statements made from time to time by the Hon. Member for Stroud (Mr. P. Scrope) with regard to the tenure of land in Ireland. which were mere theoretic statements obtained from pamphlets, rather than from an actual knowledge of the country. After a few words from Mr. VESEY and Colonel DUNNE, The clause was agreed to without a division. Lord NAAS moved as an amendment to the next clause, that the words " electoral division" be substi tuted for the word " union" in the 43d line. Mr. HENLEY said, as they were dealing in a very violent and dangerous manner by ex post facto legisla tion with men's property, he thought some limit ought to be introduced as to the priority of certain claims for arrears of poor-rate. This limit he considered should apply both with respect to time and amount. Sir G. GREY preferred the word " union" to " elec toral division." The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment ..• 40 Against it ••• 72 —32 Majority (LEFT SITTING.)

The annual distribution of priz s amongst the students of King's College took place yesterday. The business of the day was iix , cl to commence at one o'clock, and at that hour his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge entered the splendid hall of the college amidst the most enthusiastic cheering; he was accompanied by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of London and Lichfield, the Earl of Waldegrave, Monsieur Guizot, the American Minister, the Principal of the College (Dr. Sheppard), and the professors, in their full costume. The hall was crowded in a very short time. His Grace the Archbishop occupied the chair. The ARCHBISHOP said a very short time would suffice fur him to state the interesting object of their meeting there that day. The agreeable object was to give praise where praise was due—to learning:and assiduous labour in the attainment, of knowledge, and to uniform good conduct, and moral behaviour. It was sgreetible to award such praise on many grounds; but for no less important object did we employ it than as belonging to those secondary motives which it was often necessary and just for us to use in the promotion of great and worthy - objects. Amongst the most valuable of such secondary motives were the desire of praise and the love of distinction. Those who were ambitious of being dis tinguished in the walks of science, literature, and the useful arts, and who attended on this occasion to receive academical honours, thereby afforded the best example of the useful application of the motives employed, and the best test of their conducing to the welfare and hap piness of society. The Rev. Dr. SHEPPARD, Principal of the College, then addressed his Grace, in acknowledgment of the honour conferred upon the col.ege by the distinguished indivi duals present, particularly enumerating his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, M. Guizot (one of whose sons was a medical student of the college), the American Minister, and others. He then proceeded to give a short sketch of the advance of the college during the past year, and spoke in the most pleasing manner of the uniform moral and intellectual bearing of the pupils of the schools. After dwelling upon the import ance of the several branches of study pursued, the Rev. Principal presented the names of the successful students in the learned branches of the department of general literature and science. The names of the successful candidates in this depart ment were as follow: Divinity.—Edward Armstrong Vicars, James Sellers, third year; William Elgood, William Sheldon Reece, second year; Edward Headland, William Stebbing, firs year.

Hebrew.—Robert Lubbock Bensly, Samuel Green, Beauchamp Tyrwhitt. French.—Horace W. Smith. German.—Owen Davies, John Grabham. His Grace delivered the prizes to the several candi dates, accompanying each presentation with approving and encouraging remarks. Each of the several professors then in succession an nounced the names of the prizemen in his class, and his Grace thereupon delivered the prizes. In the department of the applied sciences, Professor Miller then gave in a short report on the progress of his department ; and the names of the prizemen in each class were announced for the most part by the several professors, and the prizes were distributed by the chairman. Toe following are the names of the successful candi. dates is this department : Divinity.—Guorge Williams Lee, third year; James William Newton, second year ; Alexander Graham, first year.

The Applied Sciences Department—Robert John Arthur, Thomas Bolton, Richard Wilson Buckley, Juha Howard Kidd, George Williams Lee, John Thomas Lepard, Thomas Ridout, Joseph John William Watson. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE then rose, and expressed the high satiiaction he felt in being present to receive so excellent an account of the ad. vances in I. arning and science, and in a most feeling speech moved a vote of thanks to the council of the college. The Bishop of LONDON replied, and concluded by ex pressing the obligation of the college to the Archbishop. as GRACE replied in a speech full of Christian feel ing, and ievulted the Divine blessing on the labours of all eqgaged in the work, for by that alone could they succeed in rendering it efficient. The interesting assembly then broke up, his Royal Highness leaving at five .'elock. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. COWES, JUNE 29. ARRIVALS.

Fairest of earth! it' thou wilt hear my vow, Lo! at thy feet, I swear to love thee ever; And, by this kiss upon thy radiant brow, Promise affection which no time shall sever; And love which e'er shall burn as bright as now, To be extinguished —never, dearest—never! Wilt thou that naughty, flattering heart resign? Catherine! my own sweet Kate! wilt thou be mine? Thou shalt have pearls to deck thy raven hair— Thou shalt have all this world of ours can bring; And we will live in solitude, nor care For aught save for each other. We will fling Away all borrow—Eden shall be there! And thou shalt be my queen, and I thy king! Still coy, and still reluctant? Sweetheart, say, When shall we monarchs be? and which the day? CANTO THE SECOND—MATRIMONY. Now, Mrs. Pringle, once for all I say I will not such extravagance allow! Bills upon bills, and larger every day, Enough to drive a man to drink, I vow ! Bonnet!, gloves, frippery, and trash—nay, nay, Tears, Mrs. Pringle, will not gull me now. I say, I won't allow ten pounds a wet k ; I can't afford it ; Madam, do not speak. In weddin g you I thought I had a treasure ; You rise myself most miserably mistaken ; that uproar? This, ma'am, ... n rise at ten, then spend the day in pleasure: Sufficient noise the I fa ct , my confidence is slightly shaken. Ha ! what ' s is my leisure; Confound those children I seek retirement, and I find • slumbering dead to wake! —a riot ; , but I'll make them quiet ! .(From the Carlisle Journal) .

His Excellency Said Pacha, the Lord High Ad m i ra l o f t h e E g yptian fleet, is very fond of visiting the British ships of war, and paid a visit to the Rosamond. Every possible attention was shown to the distinguished sailor, and he was on the point of leaving, when, as if struck by a sudden thought, he begged of Captain Foote to allow him to observe his gun practice—pointing at the same time to a rock near the lighthouse, whose apex was to form the target. The wish was no sooner breathed than granted—the gun was loaded, raised, and fired; the apex flew into smithereens —and the headless rock remains a proof of British cor rectness in gun practice. The ship was one mile and a half distant from the object fired at, and although his Excellency much admired the precision of our men's fire, they modestly attributed the result to accident. His Excellency was satisfied with the one shot—he would not permit a second to be fired. CONFIRMED HABIT.—A. gentleman of excellent habits and very amiable disposition was so unfortunate as to have a wife of a very different character; in short, one that would get beastly drunk. Being in company of a few intimates one evening, one of them remarked to him that if she was his wife—since all other things had failed—he would frighten her in some way, so that she would quit her evil habit; and proposed the following method:—that some time, when dead drunk, she would be laid into a box shaped like a coffin, and left in that situation until her fit should be over, and consciousness restored. A few even ings ago, the dame being in a proper state, the plan was put in execution, and after the box lid had been properly secured, the party before alluded to watched, each in turn, to witness the result. About daylight next morning the watcher hearing a movement, laid himself down beside the box, when her lady ship after bumping her head a few times, was heard to say, " Bless me! why, where am I?" The ?" outsider replied in a sepulchral tone, " Madam, you are dead and in another world." A pause ensued, after which the lady inquired, " Where are you ?" " Oh I I you can't have you been een d down ead her am dead t oo ," sa id h e . " Can you tell me how long I' ve b you been d ea d ?" " Four months." " Well, el , longer reths." How long have than have, e' Aboutsou much h three l on tell me where I can get a little gin ?" INSTITUTION FOR THE ADULT DEAF AND DUMB, RED LION -SQUARE, BLOOMSBURY A meeting of the subscribers and friends of this institution was held on Thursday, in the chapel of the institution 26, Red Lion square, Bloomsbury. F rom t h e report of the secretary, Mr. J. G. Simpson, it appeared that the deaf and dumb inmates can be taught either the trade of shoemaking or tailoring in a space of time averaging three years. The pupils are received from the different schools where they have been educated, and they aro once placed under the direction of well-qualified hearing masters to learn some thoroughly useful trade, by the exercise of which they can eventually sustain themselves with decency And com fort. It was observed that eighteen individuals were now under instruction, while about thirty more were sustained or assisted weekly from the funds of the charity. The institution, it appears, could greatly extend its b ene fi c i a l operations, did the funds permit, and an earnest hope was expressed by the meeting that the affluent would award their co-operation in furtherance of so good a work, Fri, e.

R . Grimston, the Hon F. Pon sonby, Mr. Sotheron, M.P., Mr. A Shafto Adair, M.P., Mr. John Neild, M.P. Mr. Agar Roberts, M.P., Mr. Presseott, th e G overnor o f t h e Bank of England, Mr. Mark Milbanke, Mr. Hornby Baxendale, Mr. Atherley, \lr. Charles Hance, Mr. Andrew Lawson, Mr. B. Bot field, Mr. H. Melville, and other gentlemen who had been the students and elknes of Harrow. The Head Master, the Rev. Dr. Vaughan, was also present, to gether with the Rev. Mr. Atherley and the Rev. Mr. Oxenham, the lower master and secretary. In proposing the toast of the evening, "Prosperity to Harrow," the chairman said that he could not forget that the institu tion, founded in the reign of one Queen Regnant, had in the past year been visited by the Queen who now adorned the throne of these realms. It was true some old stories were extant with regard to George 111, having once ridden through Harrow, but he believed her pre sent Majesty was the first Sovereign who had ever visited Harrow School. He was happy to say that with this gratifying o ccurrence was to be coupled the incr ease d number in the school, and hence, to use the language of the markets, Harrow never stood higher than at the present moment.—(Cheers.) The company sepa rated at a late hour, and after a most convivial meeting. COLONEL WEARS, K.H.—A Chatham correspon dent informs us that the gallant and distinguished officer still survives, and, although it is believed that he will li ve fox many days, it is feared that he cannot receyer. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London .New Price Current, June 29.) SUGAR.—Today there was little desire evinced by home dealers to make purchases in West India Sugar, still merchants were firm, and obtained former rates. The quantity sold was small, and amounted to only 151, making for the week 986 hhds., &c. The Sugar market closes with a quiet aspect. REFINED.—To-day there was only a limited business concluded in Refined goods by home dealers, still prices ruled firm; brown g r o cer y L um p s a t 51s 6d, and fair ditto 52s 6d per cwt. For Bonded Crushed Sugar the market is still quiet at former rates.

At auction 7,889 bags went readily, low to mid yellow at 37s 6d to 395, good to fine 39s 6d to 41s, good and fine brown 35s to 375, washed and syrupy 33s to 40s per cwt. Of low brown the supply is yet small, and there are several buyers.

By private treaty the sales made in Foreign Sugar for the week are not worth enu merating, with the exception of a cargo of brown Per nams at 19s 3d for export. MoLASBE2.—The market is firm for West India at 17s 6d to 22s for low to fine quality, but there are not many buyers at present.

The Coffee market generally has assumed a quiet spirit. Cocoa.—There has been increased demand for Wesl India, and higher rates are obtained without difficulty, although there is a fair supply at market, with a stock larger than in the former year. The quantity submitted to publicsale amounted to 398 bags of Trinidad which were sold, fine red at 47s 6d to 50s 6d, other sorts 43s to 475, and grey 42s to 44s per cwt.

TEA.—The market for Congou continues firm, and there has been a good business concluded this week at fully former rates.

Geneva met with a fair demand; ord at is 9d to is 10d, and fine for duty at 2s to 3s 3d; there is still only a limited stock. TALLow.—To-day the market was firm for Tallow, and the public sales went at full rates; of South Ameri• can 838 pkgs were sold at from 33s 9d to 38s for low to fine, and 49 casks of Sydney at 33s to 36s 6d per cwt. OILS.—For pale Seal Oil sales have been made at 311 to 321., other sorts are dealt in with more readi- ness, and at better rates, straw and tinged selling at 281 lOs to 30/, yellow and brown 261 to 281. The mar ket is firm for Cod, and at 271 lOs to 284 several parcels have been sold. An increased business has been concluded in Southern, and a rise in value is ap parent; low to mid 261t0 281, and gocd to mid 281 106 to 304 For Sperm there is a much better demand. For fine the rates paid are 741 to 754 and 751 to 761 for Headmatter. Imports of Fish Oils continue of little moment. and there has been no public sale this week. Olive, prices are on the de cline; Gallipoli is offered at 401 lOs to 414 and other sorts at from 381 lOs to 401, still a fair business has been concluded. The value of Lucca per jar is 64 and chts 17s to 21s. Only a limited demand for Palm, and 29s to 30s is the value of good to fine. For Cocoa Nut Oil 32s to 34s is the value of good, fine quality; there are also several parcels on offer. For Rape Oil the rates asked are 37s to 37s 6d for pale, 36s 6d to 37s for brown, and 38s to 38s 6d for Foreign. Linseed Oil has been in excellent demand by home dealers, and purchases to a fair extent have been made. REMARKABLE STATEMENT. —An eminent physician of Paris, Dr. Bonet, has written to a professional brother in this town statements so startling in reference to the results of a very simple mode of treating, in the worst stages, the di sease now so fatally prevalent in Paris , that we deem it our duty at once to lay it before the public. The letter, of which the following is a translation, is dated Paris, June 113:—" I think it my duty to inform my professional brethren that, in a great number of patients affected with cholera in the last stage, that is to say, when the pulsation of the heart and the movement of the pulses are absent, and in the commence ment of the blue stage, I have succeeded in restoring the action of the heart and in recovering the patient from the blue stage, by administering, at intervals of half-an-hour, four cups of a hot and sweetened in fusion of the common lime tree, mint, balm, or camo mile, &c., in each of which cup of infusion were four drops of volatile alkali, making sixteen drops, which the patient may take in two hours. The reaction is almost instantaneous. The pulse com mences instantaneously to brat, rather irregularly at first, it is true, but afterwards with force, the blue state disappears, the body, face, and extremities, are covered with hot and copious sweat, and in a few hours the patient is entirely out of danger. It is frequently neces- sary to combat the reaction when it becomes too strong by the assistance of bleeding."—Liverpool Albion. - - DEATH FROM DROWNING.—A fatal accident oc curred on Wednesday morning to a young man who was in the employ of Messrs. Simpkin and Marshall, booksellers, named. William Taylor, who was highly respected by all who knew him. He was bathing just off Battersea Red-house, when it is supposed the cramp seized him, and be was drowned. T wo young men who were with him tried to rescue him, and nearly lost their lives in the attempt. REVIEW AT WooLwicH.---It is stated on good authority that a grand review will take place at Wool wich on Tuesday next, when Field Marshal the Marquis of Anglesea and several other distinguished persons will be most. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The Queen having resolved on a visit to Ireland, an experimental squadron is now talked of, to accompany the royal squadron, and it is ' hoped, for the sake of those brave fellows, so many of whom are knocking about the ports without food or shelter, with some probability of the r e p or t b e i ng true. Although the materials are very scanty just now, yet, if time be taken by the forelock, a goodly fleet might be mustered by the time of the royal departure from this coast. The Superb, 80, Captain Purcell, is already at Spithead, and in most efficient condition, notwithstanding she is undermanned by 300; but an exhibition of her beating to quarters, firing a succession of rounds, board ing, receiving boarders, furling, reefing, and all the other stirring manoeuvres incidental to "action" afloat would astonish some crews of three or four years' com mission. She will be the leading member of the squa dron, should one be formed; the Ganges, 84, Captain Smith, at Cork, doing nothing, might as well return to Spithead, if only to salute her Majesty. These are the only line of battle ships on the home station that appear in a sea• going state; these, however, together with two or three first-class frigates, such as the Leander, In defatigable, Warspite, Phaeton, and a few steamers, of which class there are many quite ready for officers and men, would at a very short notice muster such a force as any monarch would be proud of for an escort. The Arrogant, 46, Captain Fitzroy, is ordered to return here from Malta, via Lisbon, and will form one of such a squadron. The Otter steam-vessel arrived here this morning from Woolwich. The Myrtle steam vessel sailed this afternoon with supernumeraries for Plymouth. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. George Bevington, a stock-broker, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Daniel Forrester, the officer, charged with having forged a Bank of England stock receipt for 173 Z 55., and a similar receipt for 86/. 15a. with intent to defraud Thomas Robinson. Daniel Forrester produced the warrant upon which he had apprehended the prisoner for havin g f e l on i ous l y forged the two receipts. The information up on w hi c h that authority bad been granted was to the following effect:—Mr. Robinson, who is at present in the co un t ry , called on th e 4 t h Dec. last upon the prisoner, who then lived at Tokeishouse-yard, having formerly employed him as a stock- broker, and gave him 1731. 105,,. with di rections to purch ase 2 00 2 stock i n the Three-and-a Quarter per Cent. Annuities. The prisoner gave a re ceipt for the amount, and on the sth Mr. Robinson again called upon him and gave him 861 155., with directions to purchase 1004 in the same stock, and to transmit the stock receipts to the pro prietor on the following day. As the receipts did not arrive in due course, Mr. Robinson wrote to the prisoner, complaining of the omission, and re ceived an answer which contained an excuse and a pro mise to send the necessary documents next day. Trans ferrye forgeries,l r. tßobinson, e: d t h w a h t o n , h s o t 0e e k v e h r a , d f won b u ee a d rec e ip ts , or what appeared to be such, were accord o o in u g t lythraetcthey e dw were purchased for him by the prisoner. Mr. Thomas Ingall, deputy principal clerk in the Three-and & Quarter per Cent. Office of the Bank of England, said he was present when Mr. Robinson gave the information upon which the warrant had been ob tained, and the prisoner was the person referred to in the depositions. Be had examined the transfer receipts pro duced against the prisoner, and the transfer books of the Bank of England, and he had found no entry correspon ding with the receipts produced, which were in faot for geries in all respects. The prisoner requested to be remanded for a few days, as he had been but just apprehended. The LORD MAYOR said the prisoner should be accom modated with sufficient time for preparing his answer .to such serious charges, and Friday was fixed upon for the last examination of the accused. MURDERS at WESTBUR Y, WILTS. WESTBURY, FRIDAY, JUNE 29.—An adjourned in. quest was held here yesterday, before Mr. G. Sylvester, one of the coroners for Wiltshire, on the body of Richard Smith, an infant about a month old, which has resulted in the committal of the mother, Rebecca Smith, to take her trial for wilful murder at the ensuing Wilts assizes. From the evidence there is reason to conclude that a series of murders has been committed. The prisoner is the wife of Philip Smith, a labourer at Westbury. She has been married 18 years, and has given birth to 11 children, all of whom, with the excep tion of the eldest, died in infancy. The subject of the present inquiry was born on the 16th of May, and died on the 12th of June. The body was exhumed on Satur day last, and a post mortem examination was made by Mr. G. Shorland, surgeon, of Westbury, in the presence of another surgeon named Gibbs. They were convinced of the presence of arsenic in the body, and the viscera were accordingly carefully sealed up and sent to Mr. Herapath, of Bristol, for further analyzation. On the following Monday a jury was sworn to investigate the case, when it was shown that on the 7th of June, five days before the child died, the prisoner went to a person named Prudence Mead, and requested her to accom pany her to the shop of Mr. Taylor, druggist, of West bury, to purchase arsenic, which she said a sister of hers residing at Bratton, near Westbury, wanted to destroy rats. The purchase of the poison was likewise proved by Mr T;.ylor's apprentice, who put a label on it, and warned her as to its deadly properties. Mr. G. Shorland, surgeon, and registrar of births and deaths for ,Westbury, deposed, that the child's death was registered by the mother on the 13th of June, the day after its death. She declared she did not know the cause of death, but that the child had been ailing for a little time, and, as it appeared no satisfactory reason could be assigned, the cause of death was registered as unknown. The inquiry was then adjourned. Mr. W. Lierapath, of Bristol, now said, he received the contents of the deceased's stomach from Mr. Shor land on the 24!h instant, and on subjecting them to anal) sis, found them to consist principally of milk and arseniou3 acid in solution, and an exceedingly light trace of arsenic not dissolved. He had no doubt that the infant to which the viscera belonged had died from the effect of arsenic, and he believed that white arsenic had been administered, and that it had been given at more than one time. After some other unimportant evidence had been ad due( d, the Coroner recapitulated the whole to the jury who, having deliberated a short time, returned a verdict of .‘ Wilful murder against Rebecca Smith." The prisoner, a sullen-looking woman, apparently about Say years of age, maintained an asptct of the most stolid indifference throughout the proceedings. ROTARY ENGINES. The following account of an improved disc engine, lately fitted up and used in driving the T imes printing machines, appears in the Builder. The engine gives dire& motion to a crank, upon which the shaft, of the disc exerts a uniform force. It is of simple construction, and amongst other advantages is capable of being worked at high or low pressure, and at from 80 to 150 revolu tions per minute:— " 13ishopp's Disc Engine.—ln this engine, the advan tages of which have been long known, the objections that alone kept it out of general use appear to have been successfully overcome. It is a 16-horse power engine, on the high-pressure and condensing principle ; it is, however, equally suitable to be worked as a simple low pressure condensing engine. It stands in the machine room close to a wall, and occupies a singularly small space.* The shafting for driving the printing machines is carried by brackets fixed to the wall over the engine, and is driven by two bands; the drum on the engine shaft is 30 inches diameter, and the two pulleys over head 4 feet diameter. " Our impressions in favour of the. engine were con firmed by inquiry. It seems that before being erected at the Times office it was tested, during a mouth, by Mr. Penn, of Greenwich, and Mr. Farey (both good authori ties), in a corn-mill belonging to the former. The cow• parison was made with a beam-engine of the best con struction, and, under similar circumstances, there was an important difference in favour of the disc engine, the en gines driving alternately the same machinery, at equal .speed, from the same boiler. Several disc engines have been fixed in various parts of the kingdom during the last eight years, but the arrangements lately patented by Mr. G. D.l3ishopp have so much improved it as to open to it a mush larger sphere of action. This at the Times office was manufactured by Messrs. Joseph Whitworth and Co., of Manchester. The pe cu li ar i ty of the disc en gine is, that it gives direct motion to a crank on the en gine shaft, and exerts a perfectly uniform force on it throughout the revolution. There are, therefore, no " dead point s ," an d when driving by gear i ng, wit h out a fly-wheel, th ere i s no bark-lash in the wheels. More over, the av i c h r); r e e a g r u b l ' ai partrtyof of s w te it a the stroke, the driving force. O ther a d va n tages besides the little space occ upied are, that it can be fixed on the beam s o f without canbe materia lly cut affecting oirat floor, or on a slight foundation, and that, al t h oug h the speed of the piston (i. e., of the disc rings) is only 200 feet per minute, the engine makes three times as many revolutions per minute as a common engine, and, consequently, in most cases, much expensive gearing is dispensed with. It appears to us admirably adapted for driving the screw propeller direct, as the engine shaft has only to be extended through the vessel, and have the propeller fixed to it; it would thus enable the sailing vessels which cannot spare much room to adopt the screw as auxiliary power. The disc engines are now made entirely from wooden patterns, and every wearing surface, it is said, can be refaced, or renewed, as in en gines of common construction. We cannot but think that this engine ought to come into general use." • Seven feet long and four feet wide; and the highest part of the engine is only three feet. above the floor of the room. DERIBY ARBORETUM ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL. --WO beg to call atti.nii,,n to the advertisement in another part of our paper announcing. the a nn i versary of the opening of the above delightful ground s f or M onday, the 2d of July. The committee are snaking e very exertion for the occasion; they have made arrangements with the Electrio Telegraph Company to exhibit the electric telegraph on the ground, and its wonderful powers of rapid com munication are to be explained. Mr. John Farmer and the principal vocal talent of Nottingham are engaged to assist in the vocal department, this being the first intro duction of it at this fête. Several bands of musio will be placed in different parts of the Arboretum. The Railway Company will run special tra i ns from Birmingham, Shot field, Lei cester, Nottingham , and Lincoln, at unusually low rates, whi c h no doubt will be the means of . inducing a great n um b er to a vail themselves of the opportunity of being present at this great Midland Counties gathering. The trees and shrubs look beautiful. it By an advertise ment in another part of our paper, will be seen that the different shops of the town will close at two o'clock; and, we understand, that the beaks will also close at Que. ,Reporter._ JUNE 30, 1849.
