HOUSE OF COMMONS --(THIS DAN). The house 'met •at twelve o'clock, when the Speaker, having recove red from his late indisposition, took the chair. OATHS AND QUALIFICATIONS OF MEMBERS. The SPE AItER thanked the house for their kindness during his recent illness, and remarked he had the satis faction of knowing that public business had not been impeded by his absence. He had to call the attention of the house to the circumstance of two members having taken the oaths and their seats during his absence. That was required by the act to be done within certain hours with the Speaker in the chair, and doubts had been expressed whether it was absblutely necessary the Speaker should be in the chair at the time or any other person acting for him. No doubt the Legislature intended the oaths and the seats should be taken in the most public and solemn manner possible when the hound was not in com mittee. Doubts having been suggested respecting the taking the oaths and seats by the two hon. members alluded to, it would be well for the house to consider the matter, because although these gentlemen had taken the oaths and done all that was necessary on their parts they were placed in an inconvenient position, unless some legislative enactment was passed to prevent an action from being brought against them for sitting and voting in the house without having properly taken their oaths and seats. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY, after expressing his regret for Mr. Speaker's temporary absence, expressed the gratification he and the house felt at his being able to resume his seat and proceed with the discharge of those duties he had so ably discharged with so much satisfaction to the house, and advantage to the public interest. (Hear, hear.) With reference to the qu es ti on alluded to by the Speaker, he (Sir G. Grey) having had his attention pri vately called to the matter, he had conferred with se veral gentlemen learned in the law and others compe tent from their experience in the house to form an opinion thereon, and they unanimously concurrel in the doubt expressed by the Speaker, and that that doubt ought not to remain, but proceedings taken to prevent it. The gentlemen alluded to were desired to come to the table of the house, and were sworn with the sanction of the house with that publicity which no doubt the act intended, and had thereby been completely obtained. He bad thought it better to prepare a bill which he hoped would meet with the concurrence of all hon, members, and would remove all doubts and make valid what had been done in that house during the Speaker's temporary illness. (Hear.) Mr. WALPOLE, and other hon. members having expressed their gratification at the recovery of the Speaker, and their assent to the proposal of the Home Secretary, leave was given to introduce the bill. STANDING ORDERS.—WESTMINSTER. (PRIVATE) LAND BILL. Mr. FITZROY called the attention of the house to the standing order with reference to this bill. The bill had been opposed in committee, and sent back to him as chairman of Ways and Means ; and considering it to be analogous to one now before another committee, he moved that the Westminster (Private) Land Bill be re ferred to the committee of G . roup P, for them to proceed with it as they thought proper. The following bills were read a third time :—Hyde Gas (No. 3), Bristol and Exeter Railway, Liverpool Corporation Water, East of Fife Railway, Fife and Kin ross Railway, Hartlepool Pier and Port, Leek Improve ment, Mid Kent and North Kent Railway, North Yorkshire and Cleveland Railway, Scinde Railway, and Stockport, Disley, and Whaley Bridge Railway. Petitions were presented from Edinburgh against the bill for regulating the Court of Session, and one for the re-establishment of the office of Secretary of State for Scotland ; from Dublin, for the better observance of the Sabbath. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, com mencing at clause 48, at which point.the further discus sion of the bill had been adjourned on the 22d of May. Clauses up to 58 were agreed to after some verbal alterations. [IIEFT SITTING.] LAW INTELLIGENCE (THIS DAY). EXCHEWER CHAMBER. ;Before Mr. Baron Alderson and a Common Jury,) HICKINBOTSAM V. HICKINBOTHAN. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, his mother, to recover an annuity o f 1001. Mr. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Petersdorf, were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. T. Chambers for the defendant, The case, after proceeding for a short time, was agreed to be referred by consent of the counsel on both sides. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco.) (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Parke, Platt, and Martin.) MACDONALD V. HOLLISTER. Mr. Pantin moved for an attachment of a legacy un der the Common Law Procedure Act 1854. The legacy, the learned counsel said, was for 501., and the executors were ready and willing, and, is fact, had promised to pay it over. He put it to the Cart whether, under such circumstances, an action would not lie ? The Court was of opinion that the executors must be bound by their promise ; and, besides, a legacy could not be attached. The application must therefore be refused. Refused accordingly. BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justioe Wighttrian.) IN RE --, AN ATTORNEY. Mr. Macristy moved for a rule calling on an attorney of the Court to show cause why his name should not be struck off the rolls. The application was made on be half of a person named Dodd, tenant to a Mr. Lamb. On the Ist of May he received an application from his landlord's solicitors for compensation or an 'alleged damage on the farm, on which he went and consulted the attorney in question, paying him 10s.f or his advice. The attorney advised him to raise 201., bring it to him, and authorise him to compromiae the matter for a sum not exeeedipg that amount. Dodd obtained the money, handed it over to the attorney. and shortly after called on him to know the result, when the attorney informed him he had compromised it by the payment of 171., and that he was to call in a day or two, by which time he would have the receipt s i g ned by the landlord, and hand it over to him. Re accordingly called, but was put off with an excuse on that and sub sequent occasions. He afterwards called on on the landlord's attorneys and fcamd nothing had been paid. The attorney in question had been called on to explain his conduct, which had been unsatisfactory. Mr. Justice Wightwan thought it would be better, in the present instance, for a rule to issue calling on the attorney to explain why he had not paid the money, and answer the question in the affidavits. Rule issued accordingly. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco ) IN RE W. R. BARBER. The arguments in this case lasted the whole of Satur day, and were resumed this morning by Sir Fitzroy Kelly in support of the rule, but had not concluded when our despatch was forwarded. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT -- (TIIIS DAY). The June session of the above Court was opened this morning, with the usual formalities, by the Right Hon. T. S. Wortley, M.P. (the Recorder), Aldermen Salo. mons, Hunter, Farncombe, and Wire, Mr. Under Sheriff Farrer, Mr. Under Sheriff Orosley, & c . The first edition of the calandar contains the names of 98 prisoners. _ The Recorder made a very brieff address to the grand jury, and he stated that he was happy to inform them that none of the cases in the calendar appeared to lee of extraordinary gravity, or to involve any legal difficulty ; he, therefore, at once dismissed them to the performance of their duties. Upon the application of Sergeant Wilkins, who was retained for the prosecution, the trial of Mr. Bevan, the late secretary of the Deposit Assurance Company, upon charges of embezzlement and fraud, was postponed to Thursday morning. LITER AT U RE. Land, Labour, and Gold. By William Howitt. 2 vols. Longman. The record of Mr. Howitt's travelling experi ences in so far distant a colony will naturally ex cite some curiosity. His stay in Australia, though not very extended, has enabled him to form an opinion on the modes of action and principles of government by which the colony is ruled. His work is not so much a narrative of personal adven tures, or an entertaining description of life and manners, as a portraiture of the present condition of the inhabitants, with respect to the organisation of their government and the general aspect of social affairs. Many disputes between the landowners and the people and the diggers and the officials are explained and commented on with moderation and impartiality. The author professes to have no per sonal interest in the question, and says that his purpose has been merely to state, fully and fairly, what came under his notice. The great dispute and annoyance which is productive of many evil results arises from the restrictions placed on the sale of land. This mistaken system causes a species of auction among the claimants, in which exorbi tant prices aro paid for a few acres. The following extract will give some idea of the evils attending this method : "It is amazing to what a price this peddling and wicked system has forced up land round' Melbourne. We think 1,0001. or 2,030/. per acre near London high, but here it fetches from 4,0001. to 6,003/. ! Houses are fre quently pointed out to me in the outskirts, as having recently been sold, with a garden, for 10,0001. cr 12,0001., which in the finest suburbs of London would not fetch above 2,0001. Little houses in the town which in London, in good streets, would let for 401. a-year, here let for 4001. My brother has built two good homes near his own, which would not let in London for more than 701. a-year each,. or 1501. together ;he lets the two for 1,2001. And there is a single house near, worth in London or its environs perhaps 1201. a-year, for which the modest sum of 2,0001. a-year is asked l—a sum that would purchase it at home." These difficulties arising from the sale of lands are frequently touched upon throughout the volumes, being one of the chief causes of discontent, and the origin of much evil. Another instance of mis management is the neglected state of the roads. In some places large pits were left without any warning or protection for the belated traveller to walk into. In others the diggers are allowed to excavate underneath them. "I have alluded, a little while ago, to the strange dis regard of human life exhibited by these Commissioners almost universally. On every digger's licence there stands the strict prohibition of sinking holes upon any road, or of cutting up the roads through the diggings iu any manner. This precaution is not only necessary for the preservation of the roads, but far more so for that of human life. But the regulation is almost totally disregarded, and wherever gold is to be got the diggers cut up the roads without the slightest regard to either the convenience of the public or its safety. You see the roads through the diggings entirely undermined, cut up, and obstructed, and the unfortunate draymen, and all who have to travel through them, seek ing in bewilderment to find a passage over the heaps and hollows. " Yet all this is witnessed by the Commissioners, police, and magistrates, with the most perpetual and uninterrupted serenity. No effort is made to curb the deadly nuisance, no precautions are used to fence off or close up those open gulfs in the most public ways. The apathy appears to pervade the whole of the gold fields and the whole body of authorities ; human life is a thing that they do not seem to attach the slightest value to; and I do not recollect a single exception to this singular insensibility, save in the person of Mr. Hood, at the Nine Mile Creek, Ovens Dig gings. I there beheld, and beheld with wonder, stern de nunciations of the practice, and menaces of the most rigid punishment of it, placarded everywhere by that gentleman. " The most flagrant instances of this culpable neglect, however, appeared to me th ose a t B a ll ara t an d C reswick ' s Creek, because the holes there ranged from 80 to 160 feet deep ; and numbers of these holes, when deserted, stood gaping without any defence, to receive any one who passed. I shall not soon forget the manner in which we had to fight our way through Ballarat amongst these holes, and over monstrous heaps of clay, the main road being cut up for miles. -- - Ralf of of people. He sees wine and dairy produce, poultry and fish, and all that man can create or desire, rushing along with a velocity to the cities, as if they were going to eat and not to be eaten. A most magnificent scene, yield. ing a return of 800,0001. yearly. A magnificent scene! but rather of the future than of to-day. Some day such august machinery will be in motion, resounding through the wilderness—; wilderness no longer—from Lake Alex• andrina to Sydney Cove. " But still more frightful were the pits in the highway through that side of Creswick's Creek leading out towards Ballarat. In that highway there were numbers of holes, 80 feet deep, totally unprotected even by the ordinary heap of clay and gravel round them. The dirt had been sho velled to the side of the road, so that along the edges of the highways, on the part where foot-passengers generally walk, stood these gaping gulfs, one after another, with nothing in the world to give warning of them in the dal k, or to prevent strangers plunging into them. They wore deserted, and there can be no doubt, that if they were now descended into, bodies would be found in them, if they do not lie there buried under heaps of earth that have fallen from the sides as they caved in. " The slightest thing done might hive guarded against smell horrible catastrophes as must inevitably occur, and may yet never be beard of. If it were too much trouble to prevent them being made, or having been made to fence them off with post cr rail, a huge branch thrust into the mouths of these pits would suffice to make them pal pable to approachers ; as it is, I have never seen in any other country on the face of the earth such awful man traps in the public highway, nor could have supposed such possible, and vet I was brought up in a country of mines and coal pits.'' The great vice in this and the neighbourin colonies is intemperance. The consumption of spirits is frightful. In speaking of New South Wales, the writer observes : "The consumption of spirits, though large, bears no proportion to that of Victoria. In 1853, the duty amounted to 193,239,. while that of Victoria, for about the same population, amounted to upwards of 600,0001. ! Tho duty on wine in New South Wales for 1853, was 32,2961.; and of ale and beer, 8,915/.: total, 234,440/. !—which is estimated to make, though so far inferior to the quantity drank in Victoria, upwards of 31 gallons of spirits, of 6 gallons malt liquor, and 2i gallons of wine, to every man, woman, and child in the colony. There is wide room for reform even here, and the soberer classes are extremely anxious to effect it, if they knew how." As might be expected from the large number of convicts, as well as from the doubtful characters who are self exiled, some of the inhabit ants of the towns are not remarkable for honesty. During his sojourn at Melbourne, the author writes— " Everybody ought to calculate that the fortnight he will probably be detained here will cost him as much as the Whole voyage, and make his arrange men t s accord ingly ; besides which, without the strictest watchfulness on his part, his luggage will be plundered ; for the thieves proper are a very active class of gentry here. One of our fellow passengers hail his boxes regularly gutted; and we ourselves bad our mining boots and other boots and shoes stolen. The mining boots are indispensable to us, and cannot be replaced h ere a t l ess th an 9/ . per pair, of their quality. Last night the expert thieves which England has transported to these regions, and who have flocked hither from Sydney and Van Diemen's Land, and who are every day exercising their conveyancing talents, robbed the stable-yard of a gentleman just by. They took his horse, his harness, and stripped the premises of most valu able booty, the groom sleeping in the room adjoining the stable all the time. The police here are supposed to con sist largely of these very thieves. In fact, two policemen the other day were convicted of robbery. " But the one great principle of the colony is the Dutch man's maxim :—` Get honestly, if you can ; but at all events get !' People avow the principle. They come here, in fact, as they go to India, to make fortunes, and then—' go home.' That is'the ph rase . Everybody talks of England as home. They are all going home some day. This and that person are selling their property, and going home. Others are going home for a visit ; but in any case it is towards home that their thoughts tend. Hence so little is done for the colony, this splendid colony ! Every one thinks of himself ; there is no patriotism, because no man looks upon this country as his home. All are in a sort of temporary exile,—the servants of mammon, that they may spend ' golden earning at home." In his description of the natural curiosities of the country he gives an extended account of the trees and shrubs, of which there are a great variety, and some of a most deadly and poisonous nature. In his concluding remarks, the author reminds us of Campbell's beautiful poem on the departure of the emigrants to Australia, which was then a puce little known or thought of. In tracing the future greatness of the unknown and deserted region, he exclaims-- " Delightful land ! in wildness ev'n benign, The glorious p as t i s ours, the future thine ! As in a cradled Hercules, we trace The lines of empire in thine infant face. What spacious cities with their spires shall gleam, Where now the panther laps a lonely stream, And all but brute or reptile life is dumb. Land of the free ! thy kingdom is to come." And again, while alluding to the feelings of the emigrant's children, he says in words that convey exactly the same idea as Mr. Howitt's— " Not a pang that England's name imparts Shall touch a fibre of his children's hearts. How many a name to us uncouthly wild Shall thrill that region's patriotic child, And bring us sweet thoughts o'er his bosom's ehorde As aught that's named in song to us affords." Though the record of these experiences are less among the " kangaroos and flowers" of the quiet Country homes than the riots and disturbances of the diggings, and the competition and bustle of the towns, there is no less reason to foretel the future greatness of our Australasian colonies from its narrative of maladministration, vice, and dis cord than from the lofty ideas and eloquent words of the poet. At present all is chaos and confu sion, but another generation may behold a very different scene. The following extract from the concluding remarks above referred to will show some of thepossibilities the author contemplates : " England, in fact, is here re-producing herself on a larger scale ; but the immigrants of to-day only feel the tumblings and rushings together of the yet unexplicated chaos. To us this is a strange land, to the next generation it will b 3 the nativaland. Born, therefore, to love it, they will push on its growth to greatness. The sons and daughters of the soil will grow up amid all the endearing associations of a mother country. To them the inverted seasons will possess no inversion. To them the gum-tree and the wattle will assume the place of the oak and the elm. The warbling crow and the lau,lhing jack ass will be their Iblackbir and hereditary rook. Ta them the smooth out lines of the Australian landscape will app ear as charming as to us the more abrupt and picturesque scenery of the northern hemisphere. New interests, new histories, and new hopes will surround them with the genuine charms of existence. They are the after generations who will feel the comforts and enjoy the glories of the advancing creation of an austral world. In their bands, and by the vigour of their genius, Australia in its totality will rapidly, and by the clear design of Provilence, advance into one m th o e r a e n a n u ie g n u t st h s e e a c r tn t io nf o that a c f hristia r ni c t e y, fr f o re m which England—. ednin,andeiviliaa. tion—is encompassin the earth. Westward, America; eastward, India ; sou thward,' Africa ; and in this schema far greater than Africa, Australia, are organising the grand. I f i n b t e u r r ty e , o a f ni h e u n m n e a n b i t r y a , whose t harloys unity, ultat e i and h triumph s s o w f bl religion, ena themsel ves into' the broad day of the distant millennium. " Therefore, while gazing down this glorious vista of progressing cer t a i nt i es, l et us cor di a ll y cr y Advance Ans. tralia ! ' and so treat her in her infancy that she shall re member us with grateful affection in the power and splendour of her maturity." "New discoveries will open up immense regions where the grazier, the ag r i cu ltu r i s t, an d th e miner will alike find fresh treasures and fresh h om e s . Th e navigation of the Murray opens up at once, as it wore, a whole king dom of territory, and bids the squatter boldly advance into the wilderness, promising to carry down his wool and his cattle, and to carry up all that he needs. Nay, wonder ful visions, thereupon, of mighty railroads stretching from Adelaide, through Victoria and New South Wales, to Sydney itself, rise before the imagination of my old friend Judge Boothby, and he bravely asks no less than twenty one millions sterling to construct these magnificent works, with all their necessary docks and stations ; to be refunded out of the sale of lands and the profit s o f it s traffic.

Most of the country markets held on Slturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, yet the demand ruled • • very inactive, and the quotations had a downward ten dency. Barley was held at full prices, but the business doing in it was trifling. All other grain moved off heavily. Advices from New York to the 30th ult. state that prices of most articles of grain were rather drooping, owing to the increased supplies of wheat from Canada. The continental markets have been less active. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were very moderate. From abroad, we received 23,581 quarters of wheat, 4,561 barley, 26,855 oats, 6,885 beans, 215 peas, 7 tares, 587 linseed, 75 sundry seeds, and 2,527 sacks of flour. Coastwise, and by land carriage, the arrivals of En lish wheat fresh up to our market this morning were very mo. derate ; yet, as there were from 1,200 to 1,500 quarters of last Monday's Essex supply on offer, the show of samples was rather on the increase. As the attendance of buyers was small, as the advices from nearly all parts of the king dom are very favourable respecting the progress of the crops, and as the weather is remarkably fine, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter. There was a fair show of foreign wheat in fair condition, but the finest qualities were very dull in sale, and damp parcels were easier to purchase. Floating cargoes were firm, but the business doing in these was very moderate. The show of both English and foreign barley was by no means extensive. The demand, however, ruled heavy at barely late rates. Malt changed hands slowly on former terms. The arrivals of foreign oats being large, and the supply of green food on the increase, the oat trade was dull, and, in some instances, prices were rather improved. We had a very dull inquiry fur beans. In prices, how ever, very little change took place. _ _ In peas so little was doing that the quotations were s' most nominal. The flour trade was heavy, on former terms. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There was a full average arrival of beasts fresh up to-day from our own grazing districts, and the condition of most breeds was good. The beef trade was in a very sluggish state, at Friday's decline in the quotations, which ruled 4d per 81bs lower than on Monday last. The highest figure for Scots was 4s 8d per Blbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,200 Scots and short horns; from other puts of England 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland 500 horned and polled Scots. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with sheep, the general weight of which was small. There was more doing in sheep than on Friday last, yet prices were from 4d to 6d per Blbs lower than on this day se'n night. The primeat old Downs realised 5s 2d per 81bs. We had a moderate demand for lambs at Friday's de cline. Prices ranged from 5s 4d to 6s 8d per 81bs. The veal trade was inactive, yet very little change took place in the quotations. The top figure was 5s per 81bs. Pigs met a dull inquiry on rather lower terms. Much dissatisfaction has been expressed to-day in refer ence to the removal of thj trade of this market to. Copen hagen-fields. It is assumed that this is the last day for holding a market here, but as yet no official announcement has been made to that effect. We suppose, however, as the banquet will be held on Wednesday, that business will be commenced in the new market on Friday next. Per Blba to mink the offals. e. d. e. d.

The tradesmen of Windsor grumbled most wofully at the absence of visitors from the Castle during the Ascot Race week, and pleasure people and others interested. in the success of the meeting regarded the fact of her Majesty and Prince Albert withholding their patronage as one of ill-omened significance. The non-attendance of the Court, however, was the only incident of a die. agreeable nature connected with the gathering, S o f ar as the sport was concerned scarcely an important short coming was detected ; whilst the proceedings were conducted with a quiet, business -like regularity, w.:ich rendered things pleasant. The " features " presented by the racing, are now too familiar to every turfite to require further description or notice. I shall therefore briefly direct attention to " coming events." The great Cockney holiday on Moclsey Hurst is likely to be marked by its usual characteristics of rollicking fun and unrestrained enjoyment. The grogramme contains eleven items, of which five (including a heat race) will be decided on Wednesday. To determine the probabili ties is,somewhat difficult, because there is so " much of a muchness" as to the merits, or rather the demerits, of the animals engaged. Twenty horses are weighted for the Stand Plate, but a probability exists that not a moiety of that number will go to the post. Pantheon, High Priest, and See Clear seem to possess titles to notice and support. Should old Stamford go to the post, however, bad and slow as he unquestionably is, he will perhaps be "bandy" at the finish. Winkfield is the highest weight accepting for the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, and, considering the class of animals be will meet, his chance is by no means de stroyed. His most formidable opponents will, perhaps, be Cock Pheasant, Kidnapper, Rodomeli, and Vulcan. Should mischief be meant with Kidnapper on this occa4 sion I shall expect to see him the winner. In his ah 4 Bence I shall aim at Cock Pheasant. Should Coroner ran for the Claremont Stakes, instead of being sent to fulfil his engagements at Newton, his success may be calculated upon with some certainty. Were he out of the race I should be "sweet" on Sugar cane. Strutaway is favourably handicapped enough for the Visitors' Plate, and ought to be capable of winning. For the Richmond Plate I select Battery, Questionable, and Westminster. Not having yet heard of the arrivals at Newton, and having down to my present writing received no infor mation as to the horses " expected," I shall reserve my anticipatory remarks until to•morrow. June 11. A FRESH MAN. BANQUET AT THE TRINITY HOUSE. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, as Master of the Trinity Corporation, dined with the members of that body at the anniversary dinner on Saturday night, at the Trinity House, Tower-hill. His Royal Highness, attended by the Marquis of A.berccrn, Lord George LeD.llO; Captain the Hon. Dudley de Ros, Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipp, and Colonel Biddulph, arrived in. two of the Royal carriages at a quarter to seven o'clock, from Buckingham Palace, and, on alighting, was received in the entrance hall by the Deputy- Master, Captain Shepherd, and the following elder brethren, in full uniform :—Captains Bax, Owen, Fan - er, Drew, Waller, Nelson, Maden, Probst'', Pitcairn, Gor don, Welbank, Sh u ttl ewor th, Redman, rex ley, Were, Pigott, and Pelly.

There were assembled the following noblemen and gentlemen, invited to meet the Prince at the banquet :—Vis count Palmerston, Viscount Canning, the Right Hon. Sir C.

Baring, M.P., Mr. Phinn (Secretary to the Admiralty), Mr. D. Dunbar, Mr. W. Wigram, Mr. Lushington, &c. The Royal Master and company proceeded to the library, in which a dinner of the most recherche descrip tion was served up, covers being laid for 110 guests ; upon their entrance the military band struck up " The Roast Beef of Old England." His Royal Highness, as Master, presided, the Deputy-Master filling the vice chair. Darin.. the Vroceedings some excellent speeches were delivered by Prince Albert, Viseount Palmerston, Sir Charles Wood, Viscount Hardinge, &c., in reply to toasts. The company broke up shortly after 10 o'clock. The Marquis of Lansdowne, the Duke of Welling ton, the Earl of Clarendon, and others, were prevented by prior engagements from joining the party. His Royal Highness Prince Albert on leaving pro ceeded to join the Queen and Royal party at the Royal Italian Opera. The cholera is at Venice, Pesth, and Prague, but has not yet assumed an epidemi c c h aracter. Yesterday the Lord Mayor and City deputation were received by the Emperor at the Tuileries. His Excel lency Lord Cowley was in attendance. BERLIN, June B.—The statement that has been so long and perseveringly circulated, that while on his travels the King would have an interview with his Im perial nephew of Russia on the sly, is in a fair way o! vanishing at last ; another also, that the Empress of Russia is about to visit Berlin or some part of Germany: NARROW ESCAPE FROM POISONING.—A family of the name of Doe, consisting of the husband, wife, and a young child, residing in Durant-green, Chesterfield, with Samuel Taylor, father to Doe's wife, had a very narrow escape from being poisoned on Tuesday night last, in consequence of a quantity of arsenic (kept for the pur pose of destroying " black-clocks" or beetles), having been carelessly allowed to tumble about the cupboard, till it became mixed up with some meal, which bad been used in the preparation of gruel, after partaking of which all were seized with violent retching and vomiting Medical aid was promptly called in, and the usual an tidotes administered. All are doing well, but their escape has been a very narrow one. C rr _ ' 0178 FIRE.—TIIBEE LIVES LOST. —On Sahli' ay d moi m- ning, shortly after ni ne o ' c l oc k , a shocl inn fata fire occurred in the vicinity of Henrietta-street, Ilailtney road, which produced much sensation among the las. bitants of the district. On the alarm being raised flames were observed issuing forth from the first floor windows of the house, labouring ma n , Nnamed G o. 21, a smaraham, when, in co nsequence of ll dwelli ng„ tenanted by a loud shrieks of children bayingeen Previously he ar d by b some of the adjoining neighbours (though no one seems to have troubled themselves to learn from whence they proceeded), apprehensions were entertained that there was a family perishing in the upper rooms. All attempts to get into the first fluor were unavailing, the fire having . got such a firm hold of the interior. Assistance arri d v e m t g o , and the engines being sent for, endeavours were maaccom extinguish the flames, which was eventually pi-hed, although not until the upper part of was nearly burned out. A shocking sight t . presented of the in one itself. Under the remains of a bedstead , odis of the whole upper rooms, were discovered thein number, b a fine girl, family of the man Graham, three children, boys. They the house seven years of age, and two i younger a y. It is presumed that one of them were crouched together in he a tl i b e luci fer matches, and had set escape for the poor little to the bed. There was no creatures. The mother, who a p d . b b e u eo rn p e l d ay d i r o e g ad w fa it l h l had gone on an errand, to ge t in some work, had, in order to keep them f the streets, locked the r oom d oor. The anguish of the out o parents on becoming acqua i nted with the melancholy fate of their children w as very great.
