THE INQUEST.-(YESTERDAY.) This afternoon Dr. Diplock opened an inquiry at the Chelsea Workhouse respecting the murder of the Rev. Frederick Heulin, aged 86 years, who was found buried under a water-closet at No. 24, Wellington_ square, Chelsea. The jury having been sworn, proceeded to view the body of the deceased, which lay in a shell in the dead -house. After an absence of about half an hour the jury returned to the court. The first witness called was Mr. John Carter, King's-road, Chelsea, who stated t hat be knew the deceased well. His real name was the Rev. Elias'lleulin. He was a Protestant clergy roan of the French Church. The Coroner said that some of the clothing of the • deceased gentleman had been found upon a man named Miller, but before he went into that he should take the evidence of the detective who had found the body. Detective William 'Watts then said that he had on Fr iday afternoon found the body of the deceased in the hole underneath the water-closet. In answer to the Coroner the witness said that pre ' ! Lolls to the discovery of the body he had been searching for the body of the gentleman who had °een missing. In consequence of a statement made b y a man named Payne the underneath part of the • Watercloset was searched. Upon lifting up a large s tone and digging away the earth which bad not been Previously disturbed witness found first the arm, then the head, and last of all the body of the deceased. Re was in his shirt sleeves, and the rope ' Produced was found tied round his neck. It took . three men to drag the body out of the bole, and be fore it could be done several rows of bricks had to be r emoved frono the bottom of the foundation of the ho use. The hole in which the deceased was found • baud have been purposely dug for the purpose of P l acing it in it. 'There was no watch or money or anything found in the pockets of the deceased. In . the hole was found a coat, which had been folded up, Placed under the head of the deceased. By a Juror—All that I found in the house was a battered hat. I produce it, and a spade and a stick. A Juror—Did you find a long sharp nail ? Wit ness —N o ; I found the hat underneath the flooring of the back kitchen. Edward Clough, detective, proved that in the back kitch en he found a pickaxe, which he produced. adder the boards in the back kitchen he found the . There was blood on the brim, and also on the inside of it. The hat, which was produced, was terribly bat tered, and it had large patches upon it. The de ceased's coat was also put in evidence, and there w ere stains of bloo 1 upon the in,ide of the sleeves. he spade produced belonged to the witness Payne. Edward James Payne, a labourer, living at 7, 44e ner-street, Chelsea, stated that he knew a man n amed Miller. The first time that he had ever em- Ployed witness was on Monday, at half-past twelve o'clock. Witness was in the Admiral Kepple public-house, and Miller came to him and asked borrowed a pickaxe, and Miller said to f;,! 41 ) " I want you to do a drain for me." Yvitness said Miller then went to 24, Wel- Tgton-square. Miller took him into the back gar en. Miller then said, "I am going to do away with o ne drain." Witness said to him, " It's a rum place ({3 make a drain, under a water-closet." At half Past 2 o'clock he told witness that would do. Witness th en walked into the back kitchen, and then into the front on e . A Juror—Had you any purpose, in going into the kitchens ?—done at all ; I went into them without a purpose. Coroner—Did you notice anything unusual ?—No. A Juror—Did Miller tremble or look pale ?—No. A Juror—Then the murder had not been corn- Mitted then. Coroner—Did Miller work at all ?—No ; he sat on a heap of earth smoking his pipe while I was di gging the hole. A Juror—And when it was deep enough he Said, - That will do."—Yes ; he said, '' The old gentle islilan will soon be here; you can go." After Miller been in the kitchen with me he went upstairs into t he parlour and took the " House to let," bill out of the window and said, " This house is let." Mr. William 11. Sanson, a house decorator, who was on the jury, was then called as a witness, and said s pat, at eleven o'clock last Monday morning, he saw Thulin go down Wellington-square to a house. Witues.s never saw the deceased come out of the %quare. He spoke to a gentleman and then went i nto the house. It tray be mentioned that the Coroner during his visit to the house discovered in a cupboard under neath the stair two patches of blood on the wall, and it is Apposed that the deceased was murdered shortly after 11 o'clock, and then placed in the cupboard While the hole was being dug. Air- Robert Cox, a gentleman, said that about 11 O n Monday he met the deceased in Wellington f2lllare and he had a long conversation with him. T hey then parted, and the deceased went in the Idrection of the King's-road. He did not see him go , 111 %, 0 the house No. 24. c 1) r. Thomas S.

There Was the mark of a blow on the head, and that blow 48 ,, quite sufficient to have caused death. -1.1 5' the Coroner—The holes in the head must have been done with a sharp point, for they were very, ~,e a rly cut. There was a hole in the brain corre- CT:ling with the hole in the skull.

UQ Coroner said that the woman had taken tea with Mrs. Miller on Monday afternoon, and while she was there Miller came home, and she states that she saw him change his clothes. He therefore proposed to adjourn the inquest. A juror protested against such a course in the pre sent excited state of the public mind, and it would be very desirable to sit for another couple of hours and take all the evidence they could. The Coroner said that there was a great deal more to come out, and he should therefore adjourn the in quiry until Wednesday afternoon. ADJOURNED INQUEST ON MRS. BOSS. Yesterdayjafternoon Dr.:Diplock resumed, at the Black Lion, Church-street Chelsea, the inquiry rela tive to the murder of Mrs. Ann Boss, at 15, Paulton square Chelsea. John Hunter, keeper of the square, said he saw Boss as late as seven on Monday morning cleaning the steps. He afterwards called twice at the house to see if Master Edward had come and was told by both Mrs. Middleton and her daughter that a tall, thin, dark man had been there. He knew that was not the nephew whom they were expecting from the country. Mr. Stainsby, who resides at 14, Paulton-square, in one of Mr. Huelin's houses, volunteered a state ment, but was stopped by the iCoroner, the jury having stated that they could not receive his evidence. The Coroner then summed up, carefully reviewing she evidence. The jury deliberated for half an hour, and at the end of that time returned a verdict of wilful murder against Walter Miller for killing and slaying Anne Boss, adding to their finding the following rider :• "And the jury approve of the conduct of the witness Henry Piper, and consider him deserving of some reward from the county." S PORT. MG IN TELL IGENCE MIDNIGHT BETTING AT THE WEST-END.- MONDAY. The doings were remarkable for the knocking out of Torreador and Toison-d'Or, the latter's stable companion, Taraban, coming in for a fair amount of favour for the Great Northern Handicap. The Bobby and Paul Jones ruled about equal favourites at 4 to 1, and in some cases rather less odds were booked about each, while a shade of odds was acceptable that one of the pair wins. Adolphus was backed at 100 to 8 for some money, and although Pinnacle had some favour early at 8 to 1, longer prices were afterwards unheeded. Some inquiries were made after Acaster, and Lord Harewood was friendless: GREAT NORTHERN HANDICAP. 7 to 2 agst Paul Jones (taken and offered). 7 2 The Bobby (offered, 4to 1 taken). 7 1 Fearnought (taken and offered). 9 1 Pinnacle (offered). 10 1 Taraban (taken ; 100 to 8 taken previously).

Last evening Mr. Hermann Vezin made his first appearance at this theatre as James Harebell, in the celebrated drama of "The Man o' Airlie." On the first representation of this character at the Princess's Theatre we had highly to compliment Mr. Vezin, and on the present occasion we can only repeat the opinion we then gave —viz., that his embodiment of the part was one of the most finished specimens of dramatic art ever seen on the metropolitan stage. He was excellently supported by Mr. Parselle as Lord Steel man, Mr. C. Harcourt as Sir Gerald Hope, Mr. Sinclair as Saunders, and Miss Hudspeth as Mary. At the fall of the curtain Mr. Vezin received quite an ovation, and from the great favour with which the piece was received a long and successful run may be confidently anticipated. FATAL ACCIDENT AT NORTH WOOLWICH. Yesterday morning a fearful accident happened at the Beckton Gas Works, Barking, whereby five men lost their lives, and two others were seriously injured. A man named Daniel Phillips was engaged in measuring the depth of water in a well pumped by a powerful engine to keep the works clear, when he was seen to fall from the first stage, at a depth of about 40 feet, into the water below, a depth still further of about 25 feet. An immediate rush was made to his rescue by other men, all of whom unfortunately shared the same fate, from the effects of choke damp. At length the cause of the accident began to be understood, and no more men were allowed to go down by the ladder. Dr. Vance, of Plaistow ; Mr. Vance, of North Wool wich ; and Dr. Bridges were speedily on the spot, but every effort to restore animation proved fruitless. It is stated that the pump had been worked five months with out any sign of foul air, and when the first man fell it was supposed he had only missed his footing. The names of those dead are—John Phillips, 36 ; John Brooks, 27 ; John Wayling, 29 ; Daniel Field, 28 ; Richard Williams, 25. John Spring, of Bull-street, Barking, and W. C. M'Clean, of North Woolwioh, survive, but are almost despaired of. The Right Hon. G. J.

THE STAFFORDSHIRE MURDER. An inquest was opened yesterday on the body of the in fant Goodwin, murdered by his mother, at Brownedge, Staf fordshire, on Friday. The daughter of the accused said about three o'clock her mother took a razor off the clock,and lifted deceased, asleep, from his cradle, and carried him up stairs. She then returned, led witness upstairs, and told her to get on the bed where the deceased had already been laid. Witness complied, and her mother cut the right side of her neck, and then told her to get off the bed and lie on the floor. 'Witness did so, and saw the murder committed by her mother, who also cut her own throat, and then asked witness if she were dead. Witness said she was not, and her mother tried to get at her again, but witness got out of the room, and as she was going down stairs heard her mother say, "tell your father, and be must cut his throat too." The police con stable said that after he entered the house Mrs. Goodwin said, "Amos, dear Amos, we shall both die." The inquiry waa adjourned.

Earl RUSSELL asked when the report of the Royal Com mission on Primary Education in Ireland, appointed in January, 1868, would be produced, as the subject of edu cation was now before the country, and it was desirable that all the information it was possible to collect bearing on this question, should be in the possession of Parliament. Earl GRANVILLE said he had every reason to hope that the report would be ready before the Ist of June. THE RITUAL COMMISSION. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY asked when it was expected that the Ritual Commissioners would make their report. Earl GRANVILLE'S answer could scarcely be heard in the gallery, but he was understood to say that it would be produced as soon as possible. • The Bishop of WINCHESTER said the Commission had been most careful in their inquiry, and he had the satis faction of saying that their final report would be presented in the course of a few days. That report, he believed, would be highly satisfactory, as the greatest care had been taken that nothing should be omitted. There would be but two or three more meetings of the commis sioners before the result of their labours would be made known. OYSTER AND MUSSEL FISHERIES (No. 2) BILL. This bill passed through committee, and was reported, without amendment. Their lordships then adjourned at twenty minutes to six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. The Speaker took the chair at five minutes before four o'clock. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : North British Railway (General Powers), North British Railway (Tay Bridge), and St. Albans Gas. THE POLICE, Lord E. CECIL asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he had any objection to state for the information of the House the number of burg laries that had taken place in the parishes of St. George Hanover Square, St. James, Chelsea, Kensington, Marylebone, and Paddington, as well as the number of persons that have been apprehended or convicted for such offences since the first of November last ; and whether he contemplated any addition to or reorgani sation of the detective police force of the metropolis, with a view to the better protection of property. Mr. BRUCE gave a very elaborate statement, in answer to that question. It detailed the number of burglaries committed in the parishes referred to, and the convictions that had taken place. Since the 22nd of February a special number of the detective force had been appointed to do duty in the parishes referred to in addition to the officers usually employed, and the result of that arrangement had been very successful in preventing a great many robberies and burglaries. With respect to the detective force, it had been greatly in creased from the year 1858 until July, 1869, when it was completely reorganised, and in addition to the 26 officers already appointed 20 sergeants and 160 con stables had been added to the force and dis tributed over the metropolis. He need hardly say that such destribution of the police had greatly prevented the commission of burglaries, although it was altogether impossible to prevent them taking place entirely. The improvement of the detective force had occupied much consideration, and until it could be known how the system at present in operation worked, he could not say that any further increase to the force would be made.

Mr. CHARLES DALRYMPLE asked the right hon. member for the University of Cambridge whether, since by the Copyright Act all publishers in the United Kingdom were bound to furnish to the British Museum aco of every book, and of every new edition of a book pubis hed by them, and since as long ago as 1848 Mr. Panizzi reckoned the duplicates alone in the Museum at 50,000 volumes, it might not be possible, in the opinion of the trustees, that such duplicates should be distributed, under proper regulations, so' as to form the nucleus of public free libraries, or to supplement deficient libraries ; and whether by this means the British Museum might not be judiciously relieved of its superabundant books, without impairing the efficiency of the col lection. Mr. WALPOLE said it was only new editions in which authors' alterations were made, that were required to be sent to the British Museum, and with respect to the dis tribution of duplicates amongst the free libraries, there were some that could be disposed of, but then it would require the assent of Parliament that such should be done. Even if the assent was given, he should advise that the distribution be made very carefully, as great loss and inconvenience had been occasioned by parting with some of the supposed duplicates. EDUCATION. Mr. VERNON linucounr asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether he could inform the House what had become of the Royal Commission appointed in January, 1868, to inquire into the condition of primary education in Ireland, and which was directed by her Majesty "to certify to her from time to time their several proceedings as the same should be completed ; and within the space of fourteen months to certify to her the whole of their pro ceedings," Mr. GLADSTONE said the Commission had sat longer than was expected, but although he could not say it had certified any part of its proceeding, he could say the sitting was at an end. The accounts with regard to the expenditure of the communication would be given if moved for. He was not cognizant of any of the recommendations of the committee, and with respect to the production of the report before proceeding with the Education Bill, he could only say that he hoped to go on with the Government measure the second week in June, but he could not say whether the report referred to would even then be ready. INDIAN BUDGET. Mr. FAWCETT asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether, considering the present condition of Indian finances, and also the feeling which prevails in thatcountry on the subject, he would depart from the rule which has been usually followed of bringing on the Indian financial statement at the close of the session. Mr. GRANT DUFF said the state of public business was such that he could not hold out any confident hope of being able.: to bring in the Indian financial statement before the close of the present session. WEST COAST OF AFRICA. Sir JOHN GRAY asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he had any objection to lay upon the table a copy of the judgment delivered by his Excel lency the Governor of the West Coast of Africa relative to the sentence passed by Mr. Huggins, one of the judges of that colony, on certain of the natives. Mr. MONSELL was understood to say that no formal judgment had been delivered. POSTAGE. Lord HENRY Scow asked the Postmaster-General whether he had made any representation to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty with regard to the privi lege hitherto accorded to the officers of her Majesty's navy while serving on foreign stations, which enabled them both to receive letters from and to send letters to their relatives and friends at a reduced rate of postage, which privilege had lately been withdrawn. The Marquis of HARTINGTON replied that there had not been any communication between the Admiralty and the Post-Office Department. THE CAB REGULATIONS. Mr. MONTAGUE GUEST asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to make any alteration in the existing Cab Regulations. Mr. BRUCE said that it was not the immediate inten tion of the Government to alter the present cab regula tions. A. telegram from Washington states that the House of Representatives has appropriated $325,000 for the first annual instalment of the sum of $650,000 due to the Hudson's Bay Company. DUNVILLE and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders of whisky in the world. Their Old Irish Whisky is recommended by the medical profession in preference to French brand .

Quotations on application to Messrs DUNVILLE & Co., Royal Irish Dis tilleries, Belfast ; or at their London Offices, 4, Beaufort Buildings, Strand, VCO. LIGHTHOUSE DUES. Mr. STEVENSON asked the Vice President of tha Board of Trade whether it was intended to give to sailing ships as well as steamers the benefit of the proposed reductions of lighthouse dues. Mr. SHAW-LEFEVRE said the reduction applied to sail ing vessels as well as to steamers. UNIVERSITY TESTS BILL. Mr. GLADSTONE informed the House that the second reading of the University Tests Bill would be taken on Monday next. THE IRISH LAND BILL. The House then went into committee on the Irish Land Bill, and proceeded to consider the third part of the measure, clause 39, which provides that sums payable by the landlord for compensation to an outgoing tenant, who had not been disturbed by the landlord, may be advanced by the Board, and charged upon the holding as an annuity of 6i- per cent. of the amount, limited in favour of the board, and declared to be payable for a term of twen:,y two years. Mr. SYNAN moved that the amount of the annuity be five per cent. of the amount, and repaid in thirty-five years ; but inasmuch as the same question was involved in another clause, the amendment was withdrawn for the time being, and the clause was agreed to. Clause 40 provides that the board may, upon approved security, advance money to landlords for improvement of waste lands, or where waste land is sold, may advance not more than one-half of the purchases on joint security of vendor and purchaser, the repayment to be made by an annuity, on terms similar to those mentioned in the preceding section. The clause was agreed to after some discussion. Clause 41 provides that where a tenant purchases his holding the board may advance to him not more than three-fourths of the purchase money, to be repaid by an annuity on terms similar to those specified in the foregoing section, the purchaser being prohibited from alienating, assivning, sub-dividing, or sub-letting the holding, while any part of the annuity remains unpaid. Mr. C. FORTESCUE moved an amendment, " If they are satisfied with the security." In the course of the discus sion which ensued on the proposition, the Chief Secretary for Ireland said the committee might be assured that the Board wouli not be easily satisfied. The amendment was adopted. Mr. TORRENS proposed that the clause should only apply where the value of the holding was not less than 2400. The amendment was eventually withdrawn. Mr. SCLATER BOOTH then moved an amendment to the clause which set out that the Board might advance to any tenant who had purchased his holding in pursuance of the act any sum not exceeding three-fourths of the price of such holding, and upon such advance being made the holding should upon an order being made by the Civil Bill Court to that effect, be deemed to be charged with an annuity of six pounds ten shillings for every hundred pounds of such advance. The amend ment of the right hon. gentleman was that " a moiety'' should be inserted in place of the words " three-fourths." Mr. PEASE thought the Government would be quite safe in advancing three-fourths. Mr. W. GREGORY hoped the Government would insist on keeping the scale of advances as it at present stood in the bill. Mr. MAGUIRE supported the clause as it stood. There had been some talk in that House about the British tax payer being burdened by the passing of the bill ; but he thought the British taxpayer, who had been obliged to submit to a burden of £10,000,000 as the cost of slaughter ing a wretched nigger in Abyssinia, need not be afraid of advancing £1,000,000 on good security. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) After some words from Mr. GLADSTONE, the sum of " two-thirds " was inserted in place of " three-fourths," and the amendment of Mr. S. Booth was withdrawn. Considerable discussion took place on a motion pro posed by Sir GEORGE JENRINSON, for the rejection of the 41st clause. The principle of the clause was condemned by the Opposition as a most dangerous innovation, and having a socialistic tendency. Both Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Fortescue defended the scheme, and dwelt most par ticularly on the fact that it was simply experimental, and that Parliament could control its consequences. Mr. G. Hardy and Lord Elcho strongly protested against this part of the measure, but the latter thought that, having regard to the state of the benches, it would be an idle ceremony to divide on the question. Colonel Bartte lot warned the committee of the dangerous character of the clause, and pointed out that there was no reason why the same principle should not obtain in England and Scotland. At dinner-time the committee became very impatient of discussion, and when Mr. Whalley rose to speak he was greeted with cries of " Sing it, Whalley," and persist ently interrupted. Eventually a division was taken, when the clause, as amended, was agreed to by 114 votes against 27. The other clauses of the bill were considered as originally proposed, as were several new clauses. Progress was re ported at twelve o'clock and the House resumed. ARMY ENLISTMENT BILL. , On the order for the second reading of the Army Enlist ment Bill, _ _ . Colonel BARTTELOT objected to the measure, believing that it was a bill which required amendment, and which ought to be considered in committee. The object of the bill was to shorten the period of army service, and to establish a reserve force. The majority of the members condemned the bill. Mr. CARDWELL contended that a reduced period of ser vice was at the bottom of all military reform. According to the present system a soldier was separated from the rest of society, and deprived of the greatest advantages of life. Under the bill there would be a sufficient propor tion of old soldiers, whilst it would establish a reserve force, trained in the army. The bill proposed to do away with the bounty, but to give it him in the form of good conduct money. He thought that a man might become a good soldier in three years. The bill was read a second time. GAS AND WATER FACILITIES BILL. This bill passed through committee. PIER AND HARBOUR ORDERS CONFIRMATION BILL. This bill, after several amendments had been proposed, passed through committee. STEAM BOILER EXPLOSIONS, Mr. HICK moved for a select committee to inquire into the cause of steam boiler explosions, and as to the best means of preventing them. • The motion was agreed to. The House adjourned at a quarter to two o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. To-day Mr. Denison intends asking the member for Bath what steps have been taken by the Metropolitan Board of Works to carry into effect the Act of 1866 for opening out a thoroughfare between Piccadilly and Park lane, through Hamilton-place, and whether such thorough fare is likely to be soon ready for use. Lord Claud Hamilton will also ask the First Commission of Works whether he is aware that the bases of the statues in Waterloo-place, Cockspur-street, and Charing-cross, have been used by the road contractors during the past 14 months as depots for stones and other rubbish. Sir William Gallwey will introduce a motion urging the Government to invite the co-operation of the French Ministry for the purpose of improving the channel passage between the two countries, and Mr. Torrens will move that an address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she may direct measures to be taken to provide passages to the colonies for intending emigrants. Mr. Fawcett will on the same evening call atten tion to the 'report of the Commission appointed to inquire into the condition of the children employed in agriculture, and will move that, in the opinion of the House, the evi dence obtained by this commission proves that the igno rance which prevails in the rural districts is in a far greater degree due to the early age at which children are taken from school to be sent to work than to any general deficiency in the means of education. Sir Henry Selwin-Ibbetson will, on consideration of the Wine and Beerhouse Act (1869) Amendment Bill, endea vour to have certain new amendments introduced. The second reading of the Married Women's Property Bill is fixed for Wednesday, o n which day Mr. Jacob Bright intends to move that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. Bentinck will move a similar resolution with respect to the Corporation of London Bill, which will also be brought forward for second reading on that day. On Friday Mr. Beresford Hope intends calling attention to the delay which has occurred in proceeding with the building of the Ne w National. Gallery, and will introduce a motion. Mr. Robert Fowler will also make some observations with reference to the late disturbances at Red River, and Sir Roundel Palmer will ask whether Her Majesty's Government are able to state to the House what measures have been or will be taken to obtain from the Greek Government such satisfaction for the late unprecedented outrage upon English travellers as Her Majesty is entitled to claim according to the law of nations and to ensure the due protection for the future, of the lives of the diplomatic servants, and other subjects of the British Crown, within the kingdom of Greece.
