The sixth sessions of the present mayoralty corn menced this morning before the Recorder and Altite met. Gibbs and Salomons, and Sheriffs Ennis and Goodhart. The first edition of the calendar contains the names of 252 prisoners, of which 58 are for London, 148 for Mid dlesex, 3 for Essex, 1 for the Admiralty , 15 for Kent, and 27 for Surrey. There are three cases of murder, one of manslaughter, and four of forgery. The grand jury having been selected and sworn, The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge. He said the present calendar contained a list of 252 priso ners, but he understood that since it had been printed an addition of 25 cases had been m de to it. Further ad ditions were to be expected during the progress of the sessions, and, in all probability, the number would ulti mately be made up to 300 cases. This arose maiely from the increased intervallwhich bad taken place between the last and the present sessions, which ordinarily occurred about this period of the year, in consequence of the absence of the Judges on circuit. Perhaps the number of prisoners, large as it undoubtedly was, was not greater than might be anticipated from so extensive a jurisdiction as that over which this Court presid' d. That jurisdiction included a population of upwards of two millions; and it not only extended throughout the whole metropolis, but to certain parts of Essex and Surrey, from which there were prisoners whose names appeared in the calendar . Though the numberjwas very large, there were no cases of a serious aspect; while the crimes themselves by no means approached in atrocity many of those which had unhappily characterised the present spring circuits. There were two material cases for the consideration of the, greed jury, as they were charges of murder both of them being charges against the parent or parents of children, who were said to have met an untimely death by the act of their parents. One case was the exposure of a child to cold in the streets while in a de licate state of health, and although the child survived some dugs after the exposure, the evidence of the me dical man pointed to that as the cause of death. It would, however, be for the grand . jury to consider whether the evidence made out the intent of murder on the part of the mother, or that her motive for exposing it was simply that its cries might direct attention to iis helpless situation, and insure it protection. If they took the latter charitable view of the case, although it could not change the character of the rash and improper act of desertion, it would be their duty to send the case fur inquiry on a charge of manslaughter instead of murder. The other case was a charge against a hus band and wife of the wilful murder of their child by placing it on a fire. The evidence would show that the proximate cause of death was the injury it sus tained from the burning; but it would seem that the child, previous to the committal of the offence, was in a shockingly filthy and emaciated condition, whil.e had it been in a vigorous and robust state of health, its death would not have ensued. It would therefore be the duty of the grand jury to inquire what was the conduct of the parents towards this child of four or five years old long previous to its death: if it had been harsh and brutal, so as to insure the getting rid of the child by this last act of burning, then the ends of justice would absolutely re quire that the parents should be placed upon their trial for the capital offence. There was a case of uttering and forging instruments knowing them to be forged. It was not an ordinary case of forgery, and it would therefore be necessary fur him to go somewhat fully into the circumstances of the case to explain it to the jury. It was a charge of altering receipts. It would appear that a suit in Chan eery Was pending relating to the purchase of an estate by a young man to whom loans had been made for CFrying on the proceedings. For these loans he had given several receipts, but the party charged, to whom they were given, had so altered them as to make them appear as receipts for part of the purchase money of the estate. Now, the law of the case was this, it a party falsifies an instrument by making an alteration on the face, so as to defraud another party, the act was held to be a forgery, just as much as the uttering of an instru ment which was entirely forged. There w ere altogether 18 instances of acts of extreme violence to the person, including three persons charged with murder; there was oircherge of manslaughter, five for cutting and wounding, with intent to do some grievous bodily harm, and seven persons charged with robbery and violence to the person—making 18 cases in number of persons charged with aggravated violence. There were 88 cases of what was called simple larceny; there were 9 cases of larceny from the dwelling-house, and 6 from the person; and, lastly, there were 38 cases of persons in the capacity of servants being charged with stealing the property of their employers. With regard to the case of man slaughter, it was a case of flogging by the captain of a ship. No doubt it was of the utmost importance that, for the sake of securing discipline, the captain of a ship should have absolute authority over his crew, but when ever there was reason to suppose that he had exceeded the limits of the law ia coercing any one under hie authority, the ends of justice iniperatively demand, d that the case should be sifted to the bottom. With these few general remarks to the gentlemen, who, from their station and calling, must be men of the world, lie h d only to dismiss them to their duties, with ti •e single ex pression of a hope, that in discharging their func:ious as grand jurors, they would use dispatch with judgment, and in disposing of the ewes to be brought beture them, neither waste their own nor the public time. The grand jury then retired. SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY The adjourned quarter sessions for the county of Surrey commenced this morning at the Court-house, Newington Causeway, before J. W. Freshfield, Esq., and a full bench of county magistrates. The calendar contained the names of only twenty prisoners. Thomas Swaisland was indicted for stealing at Saint Sayiour's, Southwark, a silver watch, the property of Peter Cornish. The prosecutor, a very old man, said that the prisoner had lodged in his house for some time, but owing to his being out of employment he latterly allowed him to live with him through charity. On Thursday the prisoner absconded, taking the watch in question off the mantel shelf in the kitchen. lie was apprehended with the watch in his possession. Verdict—Guilty. sentence six months' hard labour at Guildford. DREADFUL MURDER.-(THIS MORNING ) This morning the public thoroughfare of Blackfrisrs road was the scene of a most atroAoui murder. Between three and four o'clock the inhabitants were alarmed by hearing loud cries of murder from a female near to Row land Hill's Chapel. The policemen on duty, Benjamin Homer, 169 M, and John Meek, 48 M, immediately ran in that direction, and on reaching the corner of Char lotte-street, they found the female whose cries had attracted their attention, and two men, one of whom was lying on the ground. Upon seeing the policemen the woman called out, "This man has murdered my hus band," at the same moment pointing to him. Homer immediately seized the man, and on examining him found a long Spanish knife (open) in his coat-pocket, completely covered with blood ; while Meek raised the other man from the ground, some slight signs of life still remaining. Upon opening his dress he was foudd to be stabbed to the heart, his under clothing being completely saturated with blood. A cab was instantly called, and the wounded man placed in it, and conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital (es he still breathed), but before reaching it life was extinct. The murderer made no effort whatever to escape, and was conveyed to the Southwark station-house. The deceased's name is Lumboyle, a biscuit baker in the City, and his assassin is a potman, employed frequently at the Mitre Tavern, in Broadwall, Blackfriars. The quarrel is supposed to have originated in default of the Payment of a debt of 55., the murderer being well known in the neighbourhood as a desperate character, going under the cognomen of " Fubbs," which was the Only name that could be ascertained by the reporter.

THE SUN LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 9, 1849, The prisoner, when taken into custody, had concealed within his breast an open knife. VISIT TO THE CHINESE JUNK - We experienced a gratification of no common kind on Saturday afternoon, in being permitted to visit and minutely inspect the Chinese Junk, called " Keying," now lying in the East India Docks, at. Blackwell, having been included in a select party of gentlemen, whom the owners of the vessel invited to see her, previously to her being exhibited to the public for the seeson. Nothing can throw more authentic or interesting light upon the manners and customs of a people, their religion, the degree in which the arts and sciences were cultivated and flourished among them, or to which civilization had attained, than those material structures or edifices, which exist among or survive them, such as a mutilated column, a dis• mantled temple, or ivy-covered ruin, or a stray hieroglyphic written iiwerishable marble, whether they belong to a nation which has been swept from the face of the earth, or, as in the case of the Chinese, of one of whom comparatively little or nothing is known to the rest of mankind. The pyramids of ancient Egypt, the dilapidated cities and palaces of storied Greece and Rome, the grave of buried Pompeii, crtnnb ling, ,though ithey ibe before the touch of " Decay s treeing finger," speak a language more irmistake eble and intelligible than the doubtful voice of tra ditionary story and often of the recods of contem porary history itself. Viewed in this light, and as a specimen of ship-building-and navigation among a people almost, until recent years, as unknown to the rest of the world as if they bad been the denizens of another planet of our solar system, this Chinese vessel is a thing of unusual and extraordinary in terest. We shall proceed to notice a few of her characteristics for the benefit of those whose resi dence in remote parts of the kingdom may preclude their visiting her. On our entering on board the vessel we were received with much politeness by Mr. Thomas Lane, one of her spirited proprietors, who assisted in navigating her from China to this country, who conducted us over the vessel, and was at great pains to explain to us the various peculiarities of her structure. The most conspicuous feature in the ship is her stern, or poop, which rises to the height of 38 feet above the surface of the water on which she swims. Standing on this point, we command a complete view of what is going on in every other part of the vessel, and an extensive pros pect far ahead. The next thing that attracts atten tion is the rudder of the vessel, which, with our no tions of what a rudder is or ought to be, strikes one as being a clumsy and certainly a ponderous appara tus. It is made of a wood indigenous to the country, called iron-wood—and rightly so, for it resembles both—and is of the extraordinary weight of eight tons. It is not attached to the vessel by means of hinges, as in European ships, but is suspended by huge ropes composed of split cane and grass or rattan, and hoisted up and down by a windlass. Ropes made of the same materials attached to the foot of the rudder, and traversing the bottom of the vessel to the stem, serve to secure the rudder, and to keep it in its place. When the rudder is let down into the water it is immersed 12 or 13 feet below the keel of the vessel and serves the double purpose of steering and of steadying her ; in other words, it acts as a kind of ballast. A huge tiller, also made of iron-wood, is attached to the top of the rudder, for the purpose of turning it in the water. Immediately behind the tiller a shrine is placed containing the Josh, or idol, worshipped by the sailors when at sea, with lamps kept burning within it the while. A Chinese com pass was next shown to us, which struck us as being a beautiful specimen of art. It was set in a piece of wood resembling our box-wood, on which was carved in characters, exquisitely beautiful, a se ries of astronomical observations, whilst the needle, differing from our compass, pointed to the south. The vessel is wholly built of teak and camphor wood, and the most extraordinary thing about her is the mode in which her seams are caulked. She is not caulked like our vessels with oakum and tar, but with a sort of lime, called " chinam," com posed of calcined oyster-shells and bamboo shav ings, and beat up into a fine cement with oil, which when dry is as hard as enamel and wholly impervious to water. Considering that the vessel was built only to sail the China seas, and that pro bably never out of the sight of land, it was an enter prise of considerable daring and hazard to attempt to navigate her to England, and especially to brave the dangers of the Cape, reflecting credit on the courage of Captain Kellett and the Messrs. Lane, by whom, with the assistance of a Chinese crew, she was brought hither. Another peculiarity about her is the way in which her planks are joined together by means of iron dowells between the joints. There is not a single trenail or bolt used in her whole construction, and, to use the expression of Mr. Thomas Lane, she may be said to be " sewn" together by those iron dowells. The anchor, too, is a curiosity in its way, being made of iron -wood, and having the points of the flukes shod with iron. Space will not admit of our describ ing minutely the shields and matchlocks on board used in Chinese warfare, the coffin and the superstitions connected with it, the beautiful tables made of petrified wood and polished, the opium couches, the temple and deities, the musical instruments, the variegated lanterns used on board, and the thousand other interesting curi osities to which the obliging Mr. Lane pointed our attention, all which combine to render the vessel,which Royalty itself has deigned to visit, an object of pecu liar attraction. Before leaving, the whole party, in cluding the representatives of the press, were regaled by a champagne luncheon, which the owners of the vessel had munificently provided for their visitors, at which Captain Kellett, assisted by the Messrs. Lane, presided and dispensed their hospitalities with no nig gard hand. The mandarin Ilesing, and the artist Samsing, eech in full costume, were also present at the repast, and the remainder of the crew, at inter vals, sung some of the peculiar songs of their country, accompanying the voice with drums and cymbals. ASTLET'S AMPHITHEATRE.—Mr. Batty has pro vided a perfect feat of amusement fur the holiday folks. In addition to the new Easter piece, th 3 White illaidoz of California, a title of golden attraction, he has re-engNged the most daring, yet most graceful rider that has ever appeared, the St. Leon of the Arena, young Hernandez, who can at any time command an overflowing house, and who will now be supported by M. and Madame Tournaire, and a host of celebrated equestrians. We rejoice to find that Her nand, z is re-engaged. No, a tithe of the admirers of grad,, strength, and beauty " in the metropolis have as yet had an opportunity of witnessing the truly clas sical pertermanees of this young Apollo of the age. ROBERT HOUDIN'S FAREWELL PERFORMANCES AT THE ST. JAMES'S.—During the Easter week the fare well rcprestntutions of the Prince of 'Magicians will take place at the St. James's Theatre, and in order to perpetuate an agreeable souvenir of his visit all his most popular experiments will be exhibited, and the distri bution of the come d'abondance will be made with ex tend-d liberality and profusion. Of course all admirers id blanche magic will hasten to secure a souvenir of the tnw.t it xterous and most gentlemanlike of necromancers, The Observer of April 8, and its gratuitous Supplement of 20 columns, gave 24 folio columns of the last three days of Rush's trial, comprising his defence, the judge's charge, the sentence, and other matters connected with these most awful murders, including an accurate wood• cut profile likeness of Rush, when at the bar. A sixpence, or six postage stamps, enclosed to Mr. Clement, jun., 170, Strand, will insure a copy of the Observir and gratis Supplement all this week.

The. Europa carries out about 9,000/, specie on freight, mostly cn merchants' account. THE DEAN OF WESTMINSTER.—We hear from goo d authority that the Dean o f Westminster, with a liberality commensurate with his great and well-merited reputation, has resolved to apply a considerable portion of his revenue to the restoration or embellishment of the Abbey, the information and precautions he is taking will no doubt insure a successful result to his generous purpose. ACCIDENT TO BARON ROTHSCHILD.—The Baron Rothschild met with an accident when out with his hounds on Thursday last. When taking a fence, in the neighbourhood of Woburn, he wos thrown, and. the horse falling on him, he was injured to such an extent as to be rendered insensible. Immediate assistance was rendered; and we are pleased to learn that the baron is not so seriously injured as was at first supposed. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. Saturday was observed as a holiday at Liverpool. In the Grain Market to-day there has been an im proved demand for best English and Foreign Wheat, and in some cases at rather fuller rates. The inter ruption to the Baltic trade is the main cause. The Viscount SAndon, of Liverpool, from China to London, with a cargo of about 700 tons of tea, silk. &c.. reported on Saturday last off Swanage, arrived off the St. Katharine's Dock entrance yesterday (Sunday) in the afternoon, an hour and a half atter low water, having been towed up several miles against the ebb stream, and in perfect safety. Thus exemplifying the extraordinary benefit derived in the navigation of the river Thames by the employment of steam aid. Besides, it may not be generally known that ships drawing 21 feet water moored at the St. Katharine Dock buoy in the river can be afloat at dead low water. The accounts received from Hamburgh state that the capture of several vessels by the Danish squadron had quite paralysed trade. There are stated to have been about thirty 'vessels already taken, and some with English cargoes on board, but these must be given up. The Ostend and other foreign mails bring no monetary or commercial information of general interest. An arrival from the Cape of Good Hope furnishes news of February 7th. All was quiet on the frontier, and there were efforts making to introduce agricultural implements, &c., among the natives, some of whom had excellent corn fields, well fenced, &c. The pursuit of hunting was becoming more precarious, and therefore peaceful pursuits were likely to prove attractive. There are numerous ship arrivals from Rio, Aus tralia, &c., but generally they do not furnish later dates. By the West India mail we have late advices from all the colonies, the political condition of which was still very unsettled. In Barbadoes the weather was un favourable for the reaping of the crop, the canes being completely ripe, and requiring to be immediately cut. There was some expectation of rain. At St. Vincent's new taxes were agreed upon. Besides duties on various articles, incomes of 701. and upwards were to pay an im post. The sugar shipped to the end of October was 9,401 hhds. 307 trcs. 846 brls. In Trinidad great exertions were making to establish sugar refineries as a means of effecting a material saving to the planters. The experiments made had succeeded admirably. In St. Lucia the negroes had been rioting, but were quieted when the last advices were sent off. Excellent arrange ments appear to have been made for the reception of the emigrants from St. Helena. The revenue of the island exhibited last year a slight surplus. Jamaica was still unsettled, owing to the proceedings of the Assembly, which had been adjourned; and in Demerara the new Governor would have bard work to restore good feeling. There has necessarily been a good deal of conversation respecting the Newcastle and Berwick report, and al though people in the City have scarcely had time to in vestigate it, there can be no doubt that the conclusion generally arrived at is favourable to Mr. Hudson. The York, North Wales, and the Eastern Counties investigation, if what is reported prove correct, will excite great vigilance among shareholders generally. The effect of the intelligence from Germany of the very decisive resumption of hostilities has been unfa vourable to the Stock Market, nor do the advices from Italy read well.

From the subjoined outline of the engagements, stand ing and proposed, and the great number of horses already on the spot, there is every reason to anticipate that the ensuing meeting will be a good, if not a brilliant one. The chief features of the list are the Newmarket Handicap, for which there will be a large field, and the stakes, in which Tadmor, Nunnykirk, Indus, Strongbow, Escalade, and Sister to Arkwright, are engaged, all of whom are looked upon as certain runners; the results will have a material influence on future - speculations. With so much to attract and the prospect of fine and seasonable weather, a good attendance may be expected. The course is stated to be in excellent order, and the stables very healthy.

Thomas Sinnott, Esq., presided as chairman, as did Mr. Levy Deputy, and were supported by several highly respectable gentlemen con nected with the City. After ample justice had been done to the good things provided by the liberality of Torn Merry,' a name by which our respected landlord is best known to his friends, the party adjourned to the pleasure grounds of this delightful spot, and amused themselves in several rustle games, but re-assembled in the evening in the long room, where several excellent songs were sung by Messrs. Mann, Clarke, Daniels, Dodd, and others. Mr. Rennolson, in a very neat speech, proposed the health of Mr. Merry, which was received amid much cheering, and was acknowledged by Mr. Merry in a few observations in good taste. The health of the chairman and deputy were afterwards given, and suitably acknow ledged, and the conviviality of the evening prolonged until a late hour, when the party broke up highly enter tained with the day's proceedings, and fully appreciating the attention they had received on the occasion. It was a subject of congratulation that Mr. Merry appeared in im proved health. Thanks are due to Mr. Merry, jun., for his courtesy to his father's guests.

THE NEWMARKET RAlLWAY.—According to- the present arrangement of the trains on this line, it is necessary for parties who wish to see the races, and return the same day, to start from Shoreditch at six o'clock in the morning, and return by the three o'clock (the last train up) in the afternoon. There are later trains, but they can only be made available by posting —a loss of time and money which the railway was, very naturally, expected to prevent. It is to be hoped that the directors will see the propriety of timing their passenger trains so as to meet the requirements of the season and the place. The inhabitants had the accommo dation of a day mail until the opening of this railway, since which it has been done away with, and from all that we can hear, there is no prospect of its being re stored.

WRESTLING. THE MATCH FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP..--The inter eating struggle for 501. and the premiership of the wrestling ring, between Robert Atkinson, of Sleagill, and Thomas Longmire. of Troutbeck, both in Westmore land, took place on Saturday at Copenhagen House. The contest was for the best of five falls, Atkinson giving his opponent one fall. The men have often before contended with varied success, their last struggle being near Win dermere, in 1848, when Atkinson proved the victor. The disparity in size between the atfeletce was striking; At kinson stands six feet two inches, and weighs seventeen stone and a half. Longmire, a fine wiry man of 5 feet IA inches, and balancing over thirteen stone. IR the first bout Atkinson lifted Longmire and threw him cleanly, by the first hold, in a minute and a half. Again Atkinson tried the hoist, but Longmire put on the stop, shifted and threw the Goliath a clean back fall ; the cheers were ear-splitting. The third round was a repe tition of the first, and the fourth and deciding one a clever shift was made by Longmire, after his opponent had made the forward lift ; Atkinson struck with his right foot but Longmire slipped by his knee, when At kinson made the gripe, and brought his adversary to the ground with as much skill as strength. His success was loudly applauded, as independently of his wondrous strength and size he exhibited first-rate science. The bouts stood thus: — Atkinson ... • Longmire ... 1 0 1 1 ... 0 1 0 0 Four - small prizes were afterwards wrestled for, the successful competitors being:-Ist, Anthony Dawson ; 2d, J. Pearson; 3d, Thomas Longmire; 4th, John Dick son, senior. NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. The Hinchinbrook Plate. Indus walked over. Handicap Sweeps. D. M.

The Pro fessor chooses as his theme a consideration of the word universe, which he says is misapplied by us when we speak of it as meaning our earth, which in truth is but an atom, as it were, in one large universe of planetary system, of which the sun is the centre. Ile called the attention of his audience to the fixed stars, described as being heavenly bodies like our own, only at such an in finite distance from the earth as to appear, when beheld by the human eye, mere little twinkling stars. The principal stars, he said, were Ursa Major a d Minor, and near it is the Nort h Star, which time served as the mariner's guide.

Ho was about seventy years of age, but from active habits and strong constitution looked to be much leas advanced in age. OPENING OF THE COMMISSION. The commission was opened this day before Mr. Jus tice Jackson and Mr. Justice Moore. The former learned Judge, in the course of his charge to the grand Jury, very briefly referred to the case of Mr. Duffy, merely stating that as the bills bad been already found they had nothing whatever to do in the matter. No day has been fixed fur the trial, but it is generally believed that it will not commence before Tuesday morning. Mr. Duffy's health has been materially benefited by his transference from the gaol of Kilmainham to the Richmond Bridewell. Mr. Corry Connellan, private se cretary of Lord Clarendon, bas been served with a sub poena to attend the court on Tuesday next. Lord Clarendon is not expected to arrive in Dublin until the week after next. The amended report (as pub lished in The Sun of Friday) of his Excellepcy'a inter view with the deputation on the part of Mr. Duffy has cleared away a cloud of misapprehension, which, naturally enough, arose out of the account furnished to the Dublin papers. It certainly would be well if, upon such occasions as the one in quest-- tion, gentlemen would take care to avail themselves, of s th p e on s s e ib rv le ice f s o o r f Secondhand information, always of little value, is fre a the s h o a c r t u h raancdy writer, of of c w i al ° c w o o n u v l e d r s be a t ki r e ns. quently a source of inconceivable mischief. THE WRITS OF ERROR,—THE QUEEN v. SMITH O'BRIEN AND OTHERS. About the 10th of May William Smith O'Brien, J. B. M'Manus, and Patrick O'Donohue, convicted of high treason at Clonmel, will be removed to London, for the purpose of having the writs of error, taken on their behalf, argued before the House of Lords. No doubt an earlier day n ould,have been selected, but there hasbeen an unwillingness to fix any time for the purpose during the ensuing Easter term, because such an arrangement would necessarily withdraw the English Judges from the busi ness of their respective courts. An early day in the short vacation, between Easter and Trinity term, will be named for hearing the cases. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Suzinatir. The Royal Family took their accustomed airings.

EASTER HOLIDAYS.—In consequence of the fitful state of the weather yesterday, the number of persona who visited Greenwich was comparatively few. Scarcely any addition to the population ot this pleasant suburban resort was made up to three o'clock in the afternoon, but afterwards some few arrived; still the numbers were but small indeed, as compared with former Easter Sundays. The stall-keepers appeared quite dejected; the park was almost deserted, and the hou ses of public resort were very thinly attended. In the fair there is a superior col lection ot shows, and the amusements promised appear to be abundant.
