HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. X:orning 26 minutes alter 0. 1 Evening 49 minutes after 0, gin ~~~C ~~ ,ittit Ebttt ii SUN OFFICE, Three o' Clock, On the third reading of the Mutiny Bill an attempt is to be made to insert a clause to the effect that it shall not be lawful to inflict corporal punishment by flogging in time of peace, on any private soldier or non-com missioned officer, save for offences committed on a line of march, or fur theft. No reasonable objection can IR made to this small modification, as experience has proved that severity is not always followed by the expected re sults, and that crimes formerly expiated by the most dreadful of all punishments have rather been on tin decrease since the mitigation of the criminal code. Flogging now is not inflicted to one-fourth of the extent that it was some years ago, but this, in place of injuring the discipline of the army, has, from all accounts had the contrary effect. A soldier, who has once been subjected to the disgrace rarely re covers his good character, he feels himself de graded in the eyes of his comrades, becomes altogether reckless of his conduct, and, from a repetition of offences, isgenerally at last expelled from the regiment. Sin - m flogging became less frequent, the condition of a common soldier stands much higher in public estimation ; he is not regarded as, a mere animal, incapable of being influenced by any other motives than the dread of corporal punishment; and respectable young men, do not therefore feel the same repugnance to the service as they did when it was disgraced by the .offscourings of our gaols, and by pu• nishments which no man of spirit could submit to without lasting shame. Why not carry the experiment still farther? The objections still urged against mitigation were made when I{OMILLY, MACKINTOSH, and other humane legis lators repeated, Session after Session, their motions for altering the criminal law, and every one of them has proied utterly groundless. Why then should not soldiers and sailors be trea:ed like the rest of the community ? Humanity, kindness, and mercy often secure obedience, when . severity and cruelty not only fail, but harden men in crime. Several officers justly boast that they, have commanded regiments for many years without inflicting corporal punishment. NELSON avoided it as much as possible; and for that reason, more perhaps than his daring spirit, he became the idol of the navy, and a word of reproof from him had more effect than the brutal floggings inflicted by tyrannical and cruel officers. The present time is peculiarly favourable for the change. A vast proportion of the army is composed of young men of good character, greater perhaps than at any former periud; and for their sakes, as well as to encourage others to enter, this degrading, revolting, and mischie vous mode of preserving discipline should at once be abolished. The Pori; Journals of Wednesday have all reached ts, but at so late an hour that we can only find room for the following extracts from them : STOCK EXCHANGE, Two o'Ci.ocx.—For cash, Five per 'Cult. opened at 117 f. 95c. ; Threes at Of.

The Aiinister of the '_Marine has not yet rent in the documents for veryfying his accounts, the exa mination of which is consequently postponed. The Committee h as nomi aa ted M. Etier.cc to be its reporicr. The Minister Public Works atttnded the Railroads' Com mittee yesterday to impart all necessary information on the lines intended to be followed. It was agreed that the Govern ment.should furnish plans and estimates before the Committee sh,:uld come to any resolution. The Chronique of Liboume, of the 3d inst., informs us, that upon an order of the Minister of the Interior, received by tele graph, th 3 police had that day paid a domiciliary visit to the residence of M. Huerta, a refugee Carlist, formerly Chief of the Order of the Augustinesin Spain, and seized all his papers, but M. Huerta himself was not arrested. The Siecle gives the following letter from Algiers, dated the 30th :—" We have received news from the province of Oran of a hich there are different versions, but which are unsatisfac tory, even admitting the most favourable explanation. The following appears to be pretty positive. General Bedeau, who had left Tlemcen with three battalions to execute a razz'a upon a hostile tribe, had succeeded i n 'his ente r p r i se , an d was return i ng to head-quarters with his booty, when of a sudden Abd-el-Kader, who we were told a few days ago, had been abandoned by everybody, and be come a fugitive, appeared at the head of three to four thousand infantry, and fifteen thousand regular cavalry, who, accord ing to the official reports, had either perished in battle er come over to our standard. A battle ensued, Isepeeting which the accounts are contradictory. Ac cording to one return we have sixty soldiers and seven officers k 140, according to another only four soldiers and one officer wee killed. It is stated by some persons that Abd-el-Kader, after having recaptured all the cattle taken by General Bethau, followed the arms' to Tlemcen, whilst others affirm that he fled with tie loss of 150 men. The Governor-General set out yesterday ors his expedition. During the absence of the army the duty of the town will be performed by the militia, and a Colonel will act as Governor. The close of the winter has beets very fatal to the shipping on our coast. In addition to the numerous vessels lost at Bona and Algiers, twenty-three merchant vessels 11 ye been lost near Oran, and nine in the roadstead of A rzoon. In the Spanish Chamber of Deputies two projects of law were prssented on the 30th of March, the one to declare that the tst of September shall be declared a national fete ; the other, relative to the establishment of a line of steamers be tween Spain and the Canaries. Ti.e two projects were referred to the . respective C ommittees. The Espectador says, " The provis:oisal deputatio n of Cadiz has sent an address to the Cortes, requesting that that City may be declared a free port, as the onlremedy for th e progressive decrease in the population of they ity." A letter from Tolosa of the 2d, in the. Mare de Pyrenees, says that General Rodil will shortly go to Pampeluna, without Vrolonging his tour of inspe c ti on to Iron and the line of the alley of the Pastan. The Castor steamer, which has just arrived at Toulon, brings letters from Algiers of March 27. General Buguard was still o ec to d f at Ahem, but he would very sho r tl y set out f r the ,pemrojnete expedition. The bad weather h a d d e l ayed the movement romping the troops.

CRUELTY TO ComaioN-COUNCILMEN.—It appears, from a complaint made by Sir Peter Laurie yesterday at Guildhall, that the members of the Common Council, at the meeting on Tuesday, were locked in for three hours. It must have been a t ad punisbareht for the Tories to be c ompelled to listen all that time to speeches against the Corn -laws ; and Mr. Taylor, therefore, ought be severely fined for such wanton cruelty. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S modified Starvation Bill passed the House of Commons last night without a division. As only ninety voted against the third reading, the ad vocates of a free trade in food saw the inutility of pro tracting ah opposition which would be sure to be borne down by overwhelming Whig and Tory majorities. In the early part- of the night Mr. COBDEN sought to get rid of the Bill altogether by his motion, to the effect, that as Parliament could not by legislation raise the price of wages, neither ought it to raise the price of food, thus contending for its free importation ; but after a rather interesting debate, his motion was lost by a majority of 150—only 86 votes being given for, and 236 against it. The opposition to the Bill would have been greater, but the House having voted the principle of an Income-tax, several Members of the Whig party were rather impatient to obtain something in the shape of an equivalent. That the slip pc Premier having obtained the Income-tax, might wriggle out of his pledges about Corn and the Tariff, appeared by no means improbable to mans Members on both sides of the House. There was there fore something of an impatience to pass the Bill, seeing Oat the Opposition was not strong enough to effect any modification of it, and that Mr. CHRISTOPHER and his friends had no chance of extending its provisions for tin robbery of the commercial classes. But the Bill has another and by no means silent ordeal to pass through before it can become the law of the land. We anticipate for it a stormy reception in the House of Lords. We have no doubt, however, whatever be the result, that the few friends of the people in that assembly of titled bread m will fearlessly perform their duty to GOD and their country. Earl FITZWILLIAM, the Marquis o. WESTMINSTER, Lord RADNOR, and Lord BROUGHAM will be sure to distinguish themselves on the right side. Public aptuton. " Who ran may read" PAILLIADTENTAR.Y. The House of Lords met yesterday, subsequent to the holidays, and, after forwarding several Bills a stage, adjourned. The Commons, as one of their first Acts, committed to New gate one Richard Gibbons, who had wilfully borne false test', mony before the Great Marlow Election Commi tee. Mr. Wallace moved for the correspondence relative to the resignation of Lord Corehouse, but withdrew his motion on being assured by Sir J. Graham that the correspondence was private. Sir Robert Peel denied to Mr. Ward that there was any intention to increase the duty on salmon 100 per cent. To Mr. Blewitt he stated that the Sycee silver included in the revenue returns amounted to 302,0001. Mr. T. Duncombe moved to rescind the Standing Order which prohibited the presentation of petitiors against a pro posed tax. The Hon. Gentleman made an -excellent speech. He was ably supported by Mr. Macaulay, Sir G. Grey, and Mr. C. Buller, and but feebly opposed by Sir G. Clerk and Sir R. Peel. On a division, however, the Tories carried it to continue the prohibition by 167 to 136. On the motion to read the Corn keeping-out Bill a third time, Mr. Cobden moved a resolution that, as the House had refused to interfere to raise the price of labour, it ought not to raise the price of corn. Sir Robert Peel opposed the motion, which was ultimately lost, Lord John Russell and the friends of a fixed duty not voting for Mr. Cobden, by 236 to 86. The debate was enlivened by a little display by Sir John Tyrrell and others, of the strong feeling which has now got hold of the agriculturists. A division subsequently took place on a question of adjournment. The third reading was then carried by 229 to 90. On the question that the Bill do pass, Mr. French submitted his amendment to prevent the importation of flour into Ireland for six months, but withdrew it. Mr. A. Johnston then proposed his amendment to allow sour flour to be admitted for the purposes of manufacture duty free, but the motion was not pressed. Finally the Bill was passed. Ad journed at Half-past One o'Clock. PtrilLlC OPINION. . The Times observes, in reference to Mr. Wakley's speech on the Copyright question :—" We must express our regret that so useful a Member of Parliament as Mr. Wakley should hare permitted himself to speak disrespectfully cf the writings of a man whom we supposed to have outlived the bad taste of a former generation, and to be now enjoying, in a venerable old age, a foretaste of that. judgment which posterity will pass upon his works. De gustibus noes est disputandum,--we have no right to complain of AlresWakley because he does not under stand Mr. Wordsworth's poetry. If he thinks that "any one may make a very respectable poem out of an evening sky, dew, daisies, roses, and a rivulet,—if he despises t,e play of human feeling and fancy in what seem little things— we cannot help it, it is his own misfot tune ; but he is not com pelled to advertise his insensibility to the world. When he called down the laughter of the House of Commons upon lines which the public taste has justly stamped with approbation, he would have done wisely to remember that any buffoon could do the same with numberless passages of Shalspeare and Milion. When he avouched himself able to produce as good poetry of his own, he did but turn the laugh against himself. Mr. Wakley is not obliged to admire Mr. Wordsworth as a poet ; but at least he ought to respect him as a venerable man, who has in all his writings shown himself the friend and zealous champion of the poor." The following is from the Post It is said that you might have a tax upon all kinds of income, but it II so modify it that it should press differently, according to the nature and circum stances of the income, and therefore be more just. It is easy to imagine a nicely-adjusted tax of this kind, and to give it imaginative praise. We do not hesitate to say of it hypotheti cally, that if it were possible so to arrange the tax, and if it were likely to realise the sum of money which is wanted, we should praise it above all other taxes."' The Chronicle contains the following remarks in an article on the subject of copyright :—" ' A poet is a manufacturer,' says the Member for Finsbury; meaning thereby to be very generous towards poetical genius. We know, however, of no manufactured products in which all right' of private property ceases as soon as they are forty-two years old. Those who level mind with machinery ought, at least, to allow it the rights of machinery. It is too much the tendency of the present erne to regard the mental power as subordinate to the money power ; something which capital hires or buys in the market to do its work, but which is no more to be al lowed a substan►ive existence in society than the emanci pated negroes are to become the proprietors of the West India Islands. Mr. Macaulay's amended edition of Lord Mahon's Bill will not reform the moral disorder that exists, but it may nevertheless effect a little mitigation." The Herald says :—" The afflicting military intelligence from Affghanistan has begot a strange demand from some t f our contemporaries. A Court of Inquiry is sought into the conduct of General Elphinstone. Now, in the first place, when we get Gen. Elphinstone and his companions out of the hands of the Affghans, and know something mare of the oc currences in detail which led to the capitulation of Cabool, the assumed breach of its terms by the Affghans, and the slaughter of the Anglo-Indian army, and the capture of its Commander and some of his subordinate officers, it will be time enough to talk about such an inquiry. At present our ignorance of these particulars ought effectually to restrain any such precipitate demand. The conduct of General Elphinstore may not be so pusillanimous when the whole truth is known ; and even if it should the authorities who bestowed the supreme command in Affghanistan on that officer will then be far more obnoxious to reproach than the General himself."

Yesterday and to-day (says the Paris Commerce), the principal members of the corps diplomatique assembled in the hotel of Lord Cowley, the Ambassador of England.

OLD COURT, Alexander Francis Baillie Nicholson, aged 31, postman, was i"diet....:4; tor stealing three post letters containing money, sie being at the time employed in the Post-office. The Attorney-General, Mr. Adolphus, and Mr. Sheppard appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was engaged in the Pest-office for the purpose of taking the letters from the stampers' table to the sorters' table. On the Ist March last the prisoner was observed to select three letters from a bundle which had been stamped, and which were lying on the stampers' table. The prisoner was given into custody, and searched, and the three letter s were found upon him, all of which contained money. Mr. CbARKSON addressed the Jury for the prisoner, and observed that the case was too clear and plain for hint to ad vance any defence upon it. He should however call witness?s, who would prove that the prisoner was subject to fits of in sanity, and that he had on several occasions attempted suicide. On one occasion the prisoner had hanged himself with a pocket handkerchief, and it was with the utmost difficulty that anima tion had been restored. On another occasion the prisoner had attempted suicide by cutting his throat. The witnesses would further state that the prisoner's father, his brother, and his sister, had all died by their own hands. He (Mr. Clarkson) stated these facts, and would call witnesses to substantiate them, for the purpose of mitigation of punishment; and lie hoped, and felt confident that they would receive the fullest consideration of the Jury and the Court. The prisoner's sister•in-law, together with ether witnesses, were then ca:led, all of whom corroborated the statement of the Learned Counsel. The Learned JUDGE then summed up the evidence, and the Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Justice ERSKINE then addressed the prisoner in a very impressive manner, and said that for the sake of public justice, and as a warning to others, it became absolutely necessary to inflict a most severe penalty. He earnestly entreated the pri soner, wherever he should be placed, to wait with patience till that time when the Almighty should in the course of nature deem it fit to call him hence. It appeared that the prisoner had been providentially saved from self-destruction on more than one occasion, and it was by the merest chance that be was not then standing before that awful tribunal, to which we must all one day go, and there receive the doom that awa ted that crime which the Almighty had screxpre3sly forbidden. His Lordship, in concluvion, intimated that it was not probable the full sentence of the Court would be carried into effect, but still it was necessary that that sentence should be passed in order that it might act as a warning to others. The sentence of the Court was that the prisoner be transported beyond the seas to such parts as her Majesty should, with the advice of her Privy Council, think fit, for the term of his natural life. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) WIGAN. The Committee met at Eleven o'clock. The vote ofJohn Caterall was retained on the petitioner's poll. Mr. HILDYASD then said that, in consequence of the reso lutions to which the Committee had come, he would waive his privilege to place Mr. Crosse at the head of the poll, and called upon Counsel for the petitioners to place Mr. Standish and Mr. Grenfell, if they intended so to do, above Mr. Greenall the highest on the poll of the sitting Members. Mr. AUSTEN said that the usual practice was that the sitting Member, when placed lowest en the poll, should seek to re-establish his position on it, and that if Mr. Hildyard d.d not mean to place Mr. Crosse in his position at the head of the poll, he should withdraw him altogether. The room was elzared, and on our entering, the Chairman said that the Committee decided 'that the scrutiny on the part of the petitioners should be proceeded with. John Warrington was then objected to by the Counsel for the petitioners on the ground of change of occupation. The vote was under the consideration of the Committee when we went to press. HORRIBLE MURDER AND MUTI LATION oP A FEmALE. the following tire additional particulars Of the horrible miff der of which we gave a brief accOunt yesterday issz. On Wednesday night, a murder of a most appalling fiatitfe; and which, in the annals of crime, has only been equalled in atrocity by that of Hannah Brown by Greenacre, and that of Mr. Pass at Leicester, was discoVered to have been committed in Surrey. The scene of the tragedy is on Putney-heath, In the hamlet of Roehampton, oti the preitiises of Qiielet Shiell, Esq., Granard Lodge, Roehampton-lane, or otherwise Pinney Park-lane, a bye-road, running out of the road from Putney to Roehampton,, and about a mile and a half from the former village. Who the unfortunate female is Who has been the vic tim of the murderer's violence is et present unknown, but the individual who is suspected of having perpetrated the deed is a man named Daniel Good, who for the iast two years has filled the situation of coachman in Mr. Shiell's establishment, and who has absconded. The discovery of the occurrence was first made between ten and eleven o'clock on Wednesday night. It appears that about half-past eight o'clock on Wednesday evening, Daniel Good drew up with a four-wheeled pony chaise, belonging to his master, at the ci of Mr. Columbine, a pawnbroker, residing in High-street, Wandsworth, and asked to look at a pair of black knee-breeches, which he stated he wanted to purchase. He agreed to purchase them, and, being known to Mr. Columbine, he departed with them without pay ing for them. As he quitted the shop a lad, who is in Mr. Co lumbine's employ, observed him to take off the counter a pair of black trousers, and put them under the flap of his great coat, and, on reaching the chaise, place them with the breeches under the cushions of the seat. The lad immediately communicated the circumstance to Mr. Columbine, who ran to the door, and asked Good if he had not made a mistake, and put a pair of black trousers up with the black breeches he had just pur chased? Good replied that he had not, and instantly drove off, before Mr. Columbine could search the chaise, or give the delinquent into custody. Mr. Columbine then lost no time in acquainting the police on duty of the robbery, and police con stable William Gardiner, V accompanied Mr. Columbine's lad, and a young man named Robert Speed, in the emp'oy of Mr. -Cooper, a grocer, residing next door to Mr. Columbine, immediately proceeded to Roehampton, to the residence of Mr. Shiell, for the purpsse of apprehending Good.: The policeman, Gardiner, states, that on reaching Roes hampton-lane, t hey fi rs t we n t to the dwelling-house of Mr. Shiell, which is quite distinct, and nearly a quarter of a mile distant from the farm where the stables are situated, where they inquired if the coachman ( meaning Good) had come home, and were told by the footman that he did not know, but they could ascertain by going to the stables. On reaching the gate of the farm, Gardiner thought it prudent to keep in the background, and allow Speed to ring the bell, not wishing to alarm Good, should he answer the ring, which, as it happened, was the case. On Good opening the gate, Speed inquired if the coachman had come home, when Good replied, " I am the coachman." The policeman then went forward and told him that he had directions to take him into custody on a charge of sealing a pair of trousers from the shop of Mr. Columbine, at Wandsworth. Good, with the utmost apparent coolness, said, " Indeed ? why yes, 1 bought a pair of breeches teem Mr. Co • lumbine, but I have not paid him for them yet, and I will give you the money we agreed on, and you can pay him for them." Gardiner told him that was a question he was not autho rised to enter into, as the charge upon which he apprehended him was of a felonious nature. Good then said—" Very well, I will then go with you to Wandsworth, and settle with Mr. Columbine," but Gardiner told him he must first search the chake with which he had been to Mr. Columbine's shop, and the stabling, to see if he could find the stolen trowsers. Good offered no objection, and the stable having been searched with out effect, they went towards another, when Good immediately stood with his back against the door, Gardiner told him he was determined to search that stable also, upon which Good said— " Oh no, we had better go at once to Wandsworth, and get the matter settled." At that juncture Mr. Oughton, Mr. Sheill's bailiff and gardener, whose residence closely adjoins the stables, hearing a loud talking, came out of his house, and walked up to the spot, and inquired what was the matter. Gardiner told him that lie had taken Good into custody upon a charge of felony, at which Mr. Oughton appeared very much surprised, and insisted on Gardiner searching the stable in question. They all then went in, viz., Good, Mr. Oughton, Gat diner, Speed, and Mr. Columbine's lad, and on entering. Gardiner desired Speed and the lad to stand by Good for the purpose of keeping him in charge while he (Gardiner) prosecuted his search. After be had searched two of the stalls and the hay-racks, Gardiner examined the coin-bins, and while doing so Good exhibited g, eat uneasiness, and pressed most urgently that he should at once be taken to Wandsworth, that he might settle the matter. Gardiner, however, declared that he would not leave until he had made a diligent examination of the place, and missing the third stall in which two ponies were placed, proceeded to search the fourth stall, which was at the further extremity of the stable, and very dark, and appeared to be filled with a number of trusses of hay. On removing two of the trusses, he found that there was a quantity of loose hay underneath, and when he had removed that he discovered some thing which appeared to him to be a dead pig. He immediately exclaimed, " What's this?" and at the same instant Good rushed out of the stable, shutting the door after him, and before Gardiner or his companions could collect themselves suffici ently to prevent him, Good succeeded in locking them in on the outside, and taking out the key, which was subsequently found in a shrubbery near the spot. He then effected his escare. Speed immediately endeavoured to break open the door, in which he was assisted by Gardiner, &c. , but, expe riencing great di ffi culty in doing so, they all proceeded to exa mine what it was that Gardiner had found secreted. On a more close examination, it was found to be the trunk of a human body, which had been divested of the head, arms, and legs. It was lying with the back upwards ; and, when turned over by Speed, was discovered to be the trunk of a female, and the abdomen was found to have been cut open, and the entrails, &c. extracted. Renewed effors were immediately ma !e to break open the stable-door, in which they were shortly success ful. Gardiner then dispatched the lad to acquaint the police on duty in the neighbourhood with the finding of the body, and the escape of Good, with a view to his recapture. On the arrival of Inspec or Bicknell at the stables, Mr. Shillan, of High-atreet, who is the divisional surgeon of the police was sent for. Mr. Shillito being from honie, Mr. Allen, his assistant, examined the body, and found that the head had been taken off at about the third or fourth cervical vertebras, apparently after death had been caused. The right arm had also been taken off above the shoulder jiiint, and the left arm under the shoulder joint ; :through the chest were two incisions. The legs had also been taken off just be low the head of the thigh-bone. The whole of the cuts through the flesh had been evidently made by a very sharp Matt ument, the edges being remarkably clean, while the bones had, on the contrary, been divided by being hacked or chopped with some blunt instrument, the edges being much jagg-d. The stomach, as well as the whole of the intestines, the liver ; uteru s , & c ., had been removed, an d were , lik e the head, arms, and legs, now here to be found. In the opinion of Mr. Allen, which was yesterday confirm, it by Mr. Shillito, the injury by which death was caused must have been inflicted on the herd of the victim, there being not the slightest mark or wound on the back or front. of the body. In the opinion of the surgeons the body is that of a female from 24 to 26 years of age, and from the appearance of the body it is considered the unfortunate woman had never been a a mother, but whether or not she was enceinte at the time of her death could not be determined, the uterus, &c. being removed. During the time occupied by the examination of the body, Sergeant Palmer, V 6, was attracted b y a strong an d very disagreeable smell, to the harness room, which adjoined the stable in which the body had been found.. The door was found to be locked, and, upon its being opened, the stench was most overpowering. He observed a pile of wood in the fireplace, where there was no stove, and found that th e pil e h a d b een laid ready f or gn iti on as follows : —Two blocks of wood formed the base, about foot and a half apart ; across those blocks were two bars of iron transversely placed at either end, and ' upon that other wood had been placed with coal, the object of thus forming it being evidently to secure a quick vent, similar to that of a furnace. Having carefully removed the material of the pile, Palmer discovered a quantity of ashes, chiefly wood ashes, and, in examining them, he discovered among them a number of fragments of human bones, in a highly cal cined state, and on their being show., to Mr. Shilli o and Mr. Allen, they at once declared them to be portions of the skull, arm, and thigh bones, and bones of the fingers, &c , of a human body. The horrible occurrence, as may be supposed, has thrown the family of Mr. Shiell into a state of the most painful dis• tress. Mr. and Mrs. Shiell are, it is understood, aged persons, and were on the eve of removing from Granard Lodge, which has been disposed of. Mr. Shiell, who is stated to be an East Indian mereha it, is at present from home. Granard Lodge was formerly the residence of Sir Thomas Farquhar, Bart. As speedily as possible after the discovery of the murder, Mr. Bicknell, the superintendent of the V division, forwarded the following description of the supposed murderer, by route, to all the station-houses of the metropolitan and city police force V, or Wandsworth division, April 6, 1842. Ab sconded, at half-past nine o'clock this evening, from Mr. Shiell's, Putney Park-lane, Daniel Good, the coachman. He is an Irishman, about fifty years old, of dark complexion, and dark eyes ; was dressed in a dark frock coat, breeches and gaiters, and black hat ; his height about five feet six inches. He is suspected of having murdered a female, whose body was found in the stable." Soon after daybreak Sergeant Palmer, 6 V, recommenced his search, and in turning up some hay in the stall, next to where the trunk was found, he discovered a large quantity of blood. This apparently was the place where the unfortunate woman was murdered, and from thence dragged Into the next stall, which is wider, for the better convenience of the fiend whilst engaged in severing the body into separate portions. Sergeant Palmer afterwards ex-mined the stable still more minutely, and found hid under some straw in one of the man gers, a mattress, two blankets, and a sheet. Inspector Busain succeeded yesterday morning in finding a large carpenter's axe in the harness room, with which, no doubt, the murder was committed, for the pole was covered with blood. He also found a small hand-saw, which was also covered with blood. About one o'clock police constable 90 V, accompanied by Thomas Turnbull, a labourer, was examining the hedges and ditches in the immediate neighbourhood of the stables, when the latter found a small lantern, something similar to those used in the police force, in the middle of one of the hedges. Upon being brought to the stables the gardener at once iden tified it as belonging to Good, and said that he could not have left in his flight, as he had with him no lantern when they were making the search, the only light in the piece being held by Gardiner. During the forenoon Sergeant Palmer ascertained that Good, after locking the door of the stable upon the policeman and the others, ran into the lane, passed the frontage of the stables and the gardener's house, and clambering a high wooden fence, made his way over a field towards Putney. In his flight he had broken off a piece of paling, and his footsteps were plainly discernable in the soft earth half way across the field. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that Mr. Paynter, one of the sitting Magistrates at Wandsworth, observed to a friend as he was coining into that town to perform his judicial functions, that he had that clay been a twelvemonth acting as Magistrate at Wandsworth, and had never had a serious charge brought before him, which circumstance afforded him extreme satisfac tion. The worthy Magistrate had, however, hardly taken his seat upon the Bench before he was informed of the above dreadful occurrence. Many statements were made in the course of the day at the spot as to the victim. Mr. Gough, a farmer, living at Putney, and the gardener to Mr. Bainbridge, a county Magistrate and brewer in Wands worth, stated that they were in the parlour of the Spotted Horse, Roehampton, together, about seven o'clock on Thurs day evening last, when they saw the man Good and a young woman enter. Good was well known to both of them, the young woman was not. They had some grog together, and appeared to be courting. Goad tried to get a wedding ring off the young woman's finger, but the latter said, " No, you shall not have it except with my life." She then told him she had lost a brooch which he had given to her, and Good said "I value that brooch much, and I gave it to you because I thought you would have kept it." Some angry words afterwards ensued, but ultimately they went away together quite amicably. Gough and the other man understood that the young woman was going to Woolwich the next day, but they could not say whether she went or not. Amongst the persons the police found upon the premises when they took possession of them was a boy about eleven years of age, who stated that he was the son of Z3ood, and had beers brought there on Monday last by his- father. For the last two years he had been living at No. 18, Soath-street, Man chester-square, with a woman whose name he did not know, but whom his father knew very well, and called his sister. On DREADFUL SurclDE.—Yesterday, Lieutenant C. E. Thierry, of the Navy, committed sui c ide, by cutting his threat, at his lodgings, No. 40, Long-lane, Bermondsey. On the preceding day the deceased summoned his wife to Union hall for destroy ng some articles a crockery, and on that occa sion bad feeling seemed to exist between them. The deceased left the Court with two of his friends,. and as he appeared to be under excited feelings, they advised him not to return to his lodgings that itieit, but to sleep either at his brother's, or at a hotel, and which he, on parting xith them, pr om i se d to d o. Instead, however, of following the advice, it appears he went home, and at six o'clock yesterday morning the landlady heard the parlour doer open, and heard the deceased exc l a i m i n a I Aid voice, "I am gone, I am gone." Sh e h astened to the room, and was shocked on seeing the deceased lying on the sofa with his throat cut; and a surgeon being sent for he was pronounced to be quite dead. Mill ray, a policeman attached to Union. hall, went to the house soon after the act was perpe trated, but he found no person there but the landlady —neither the deeeased's wife nor her mother being present. From Murray's account It seems the deceased must have sat up the whole of the night writing, for on the table in the room several letters were found addressed to his friends, and also a paper expressing his wishes as to the disposition of his property. In the course of yesterday Mr. Cottingham was made acquainted with the death of the unfortunate gentleman by two of his friends, who waited upon him for that purpose; and in speaking of him, they said he was One of the most honourable minded men, and that the conduct pursued towards him by those who ought to hue treated hini far differently, had led to the fatal act. TUE Fon'alStiN OF HECTOR O'HALLORAN. By W. H. MAXWELL, Esq., Author of " STORIES OF WATER LOO, &c,—Let " Harry Lorrequer," alias "Charles O'Malley," alias " hulk Hinton," tremble for his popularity, as a formid able rival, iti the person of " Hector O'Halloran " has entered boldly into the lig', determined to divide with him his empire over the affections of the public. We have great doubts if his man, with the Homan prefix to his fiirttily name, will not mere than prove A match for that crabbed individual, cross " Corny Denehy," et , servant to the defunct " Jidge," arid now fol lower of his rollicking descendant. The story is well, simply, and happily opened in an old eaatle on the wild coast of Done gal, and in the troubled year of our Lord, 1795—a year when gentlemen wearing white shirts took especial delight in paying nocturnal visits to mansions suspected of possessing private ar mouries. Oar hero is the son of a true soldier, one who smelt powd,r and saw bullets fly; and before the 31ctpigecloscs, has set Ott for the camp himself, and —but no, we shall not betray what happened to him on the way, as the legitimate curiosity of the reader tray be gratified at the small expense of One Shilling. It would be quite absurd were we to offer any com ments on the style of the gifted author of " The Stories of Waterloo." It would be "to paint the lily,"—the quotation is old, but the application is happy in this instance.— Cork Ex. aminer. GREAT MARLOW. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

SLE OF WIGHT BANKING COMPANY• (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) At a meeting held at the Bugle Inn yesterday, the forma tion of this Company was finally agreed to, in shares of 1001. each ; and of th e 60 0 shares 300 were t a k en b y t h e gentlemen present ; 160 b y M essrs.

Roe and Blashford acted in the most liberal manner, gave all their interest to the present bank to the new establishment, and agreed that any accounts that th e present Company m i g h t consider doubtful should be kept by them, or a guarantee to be given for the full amount. Of th e clear profits 5 per cent. to be-shared amongst the Proprietors : Messrs. B. and R. to take half the remainder for conducting the business ; the remaining half to be then divided amongst the Shareholders. There can be no doubt that the whole amount will be subscribed this week, and that the new bank will be opened before the close of the moath. Tun Wnar.E.—This monster of the deep, which was found in- Totland Bay, near Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, by the Coast Guard, has been claimed for the Crown by the Vice -Admiral of the Isle of Wight, and ordered to be sold by public auction on Friday (this day) ; i t i s 72 f eet i n length and 33 i n g i rt h , and a mit'e, or, as the seamen term it, a bull whale. The boilers, &c.. used by the barque Ariel in her whaling voyage are now at Cowes, and it is expected that some speculators from that port will purchase this lish, and take it there. The St. Ele.ena Regiment arrived at Albany Barracks on Friday and Saturday, to Cie no small delight of our good folks of Newport, who had not seen such a pleasing sight for some years before. --- INDIGESTIBLE MATTERS.—There are certain things upon which the gastric juice has no power. The green co!our ing matter of certain vegetables, the husks of seeds, the rinds of many fruits. You may, perhaps, have observed that dried currants and the pips of apples never digest. Whatever passes the stomach untuit:thed b) the gastric liquor, passes undis solved through the whole alimentary canal, provoking disorder sometimes in its transit. These substances, therefore, are unlit for a weak stomach. When the digestive powers are active, and the bowels slow, they may perhaps be even useful. Thus, brown bread—that is the indigestible bran or tegument of the kernel of the wheat -- stimulates the peristaltic motion of the intestines, and averts. in certain persons, the necessity of active purgatives --Medical Gazette. Sixty men of the 63.1 Regiment have volunteered into the 10th Regiment, under orders for India ; and h ave marched to join that regiment at Winchester. The Committee met again this morning at the usual hour. 'f he room was immediately cleared ; and the Committee con tinued for a short time in deliberation, but it was not stated what was the subject under their consideration. The inquiry into the vote of Jason Povey was continued. John Giles, the bailiff of Sir William Clayton, was called by counsel for the sitting Member, and deposed that he had from time to time sold sheep to Povey, and that there had been con stant dealings between them. The case was not decided on at the hour at which we went to press. LONGFORD. The Committee appointed to try the merits of the petition against the return of Mr. Luke White ( Liberal), for the county of Longford, met this morning at eleven o'clock. It consists of the following Members :—Mr. G. W. Wood, Mr. J. W. Hendley, Mr. It. Ferguson, Mr. H. Halford, Mr. Mangles, Mr. Forbes, and Lord Ashley, Chairman. The sitting Members for the county of Longford are Mr. Luke White and Col. H. White, who at. the last election each polled 621 votes. The defeated candidate, and the petitioner in the prese n t ca se , i s M r. A. Lefroy, who polled 483. The question raised by the petition is one that applies to Ireland solely, as the validity of the election is disputed only on the ground that a great number of the votes for Mr. White (against whose return the petition is presented) were rot possessed of the sufficient qualification of 101. a year over and above all rent and charges. The Counsel for the retitnner (Mr. Lefroy) are Mr. Ser geant Wrangham, Mr. Bere, and Mr. Lefroy ; for the sitting Member, Mr. Austen, Mr. Robinson, and Sir J. Bailey. The CHAIRMAN gave the usual intimation to the parties with regard to costs, &c., and the clerk then read the heading of the petition. Sergeant WRANGHAM contended that the preliminary pro ceeding ought to be the opening the registry, which he said had been the usual course up to 1837. The Clerk of the Peace for the county of Longford was called to prove the poll books, and an objection was taken to a voter named James Dogherty, for the purpose of raising the question. Mr. AUSTIN said that this was an argument that would oc cupy a whole day, and he suggested that it would save time and be more convenient, if the Committee would adjourn to the next day, than to commence the argument at that hour (one o'clock). The Cs-tallow; asked if himself and Mr. Wrangham would undertake to finish the Arguments on both sides in the course of to-morrow. Sergeant WRANGHAM saki he could not attend to-morrow without the utmost inconvenience ; and the only possible arrangement he could see that would accommodate his Learned Friend—though he mentioned it with extreme diffidence to the Committee —was that they should adjourn till Tuesday. Mr. ROBINS iN suggested that Mr. Austen might go on with his argument to-morrow, and that Mr. Wrangham might reply on Monday. Sergeant WRANCHAM could not undertake to say that the arguments could be concluded in one day, as Mr. Austen might claim a right to reply on his rejoinder. The CHAIRMAN said the general feeling of the Committee appeared to be to consult the convenience of the parties, and therefore the Committee stood adjourned till• to-morrow at eleven o'clock, when it will meet merely for the purpose of adjourning till Monday. ONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The extent of business in the English Funds has been trifling to-day, compared with the two or three last. The pur chases which were then made were chiefly for reinvesting the dividends now in the coui se of payment, and consequently the principal operations now arc the deliveries of the stock thus bought. Some bargains have, however, been made in the Long Annuities by an influential broker, which has given great firmness to the market. Consols are 904 4 for Money, and 904 91 for the Account ; Three per Cents. Re duced, 894 90; Three-and-a-Half yer Cents. Reduced, 99 to 994 ; New Three-and-a-Hall per Cents., 1004 ; Bank Stock 166 1 / 2 ; India Bonds, it to 14; and Exchequer Bills, 36 38 prem. With the exception of a few bargains in Mexican, the Foreign Stocks are quite neglected. 'these have been im proved to 404 404 ; Colombian, 27i 27% ; Peruvian, 174 174; Spanish Old Bowls, 25; and the Three per Cent. Stock, 244 25 ; the price of the Dutch Two -and-a- Half per Cent.

The alteration in the rate of discount by the Bank of Eng land has caused the principal brokers to lower theirs to 34 per cent. for first sort commercial paper. There is not a single arrival from any quarter to-day. The French mail even did not come to hand, neither were the let. ters delivered until a late hour. The papers contain nothing of commercial importance. PRICES OF SHARES THIS DAY AT ONE. RAILWAYS. Paid. Per Share.

NEW COURT. BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY GREAT FOOT RACE BETWEEN MOORE, OF LEICESTER, AND THE STAG, FOR ERNI This match arose out of a previous affair, when these men were backed to run a quarter of a mile, upon which occasion the Stag was the victor, winning apparently with great ease, but not without some suspicion of foul play ; Moore attributing his defeat to a sudden attack of illness while running, presumed to have been brought on by something deleterious which had been administered to him. Whether there was any foundation for this insinuation it is impossible to say, but the friends of Moore were not satisfied with the result, and came forward with alacrity yesterday to support their man. Redmond's, the Swiss Cottage, Regent's-park, was the appointed rendezvous, and at an early hour the patrons of pedestrianism were moving to the spot. It was announced that the race would take place at three o'clock, but the men did not appear on the ground until nearly six o'clock. Betting was in favour of the Stag at 5 and 6 to 4, and he did not disappoint the expectations of his sup porters, as he again came off victorious, beating his opponent after a splendidly contested race, by about one yard. 7he distance (220 yards) was run in 26 seconds. A great con. course of amateurs attended, and Redmond must have reaped a good harvest, which he richly deserves for his civil and obliging deportment on all occasions. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

MANCHESTER, APRIL 7.—The following requisi tion, agreed to at a public meeting of the electors, held in the • Town-hall on Friday, has received between three and four thousand signatures • it is addressed to the M em b ers for the Borough—" Showeth, That, in the opinion of your requisitionists, being electors of Manchester, the proposed tax upon the profits of trade is calculated to aggravate the difficul ties under which the cotton manufacturer is labouring. and to increase the sufferings of the working classes, by diminishing the fund for their employment, and lowering the wages of la bour. That the deficiency of the revenue has been caused by theol eration of baneful monopolies, especially the Corn-laws, which are undermining the trade of this district ; and that to attempt to maintain the national income by taxes upon the profits of capital, and to leave virtually untouched the chief source of the present commercial distress, must speedily destroy the fund from which the revenue of the State, the employment of the people, and the income of all classes, are mainly drawn. '1 hat your requisitionists hereby call on you, Mark Philips and Thomas Milner Gibson, Esqs., Members for the Borough, to oppose the imposition of any new taxes, until all the mono polies on food are abolished ; arid that, in accordance with the above resolution, a requi s iti on to t h e M embers be prepared for the signatures o f the electors." • MONEY-MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE.— Money was very plentiful in the City this morning, and the man at the crossing near the Bank carried off a large sum at the clearing. Mohair stock was not very buoyant, but gloves were easy at Is. 6d. a pair and upwards. Company's tea was wishy-washy, at a spoonful for each person, and one for the pot ; but coffee rose rapidly when placed upon a hot fire. Coals were nominally heavy, but were found much lighter on being weighed ; and eggs, though they looked promising yesterday, opened'very badly this morning. In spices there was very little done; but a party suffered greatly who had been keeping too close an eye to pepper.—Punch. Several indictments for uttering iia;e coin were tried this morning, but the details are of no interest. The following are the convicts and their sentences ; some of them were found guilty on their own confession :=-Mary Anne Allen, to be im prisoned and kept. at hard labour two years; John Jones, alias Stone, alias Mahon ; James Regent and William Jones, to be imprisoned and kept at hard labour one year. William _Thompson, to be imprisoned and kept at hard labour nine months. Only one member of the batch, George Leir, was acquitted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE There was nothing before the Court this morning presenting any feature of interest, excepting indeed the countenances of one or two frail fair ones, whose features, we feel bound to say, as chroniclers of a police- court, were very interesting. The whole of the night charges were got through by eleven o'clock this morning. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. (THIS DAY.) There was an unusual paucity of night charges brought this morning before the Court, and not one of them of the slightest public interest. QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.) The sitting of the Court was occupied this morning in the hearing of charges against four individuals for being found chunk and incapable of taking care of themselves, and three disorderly females. UNION HALL—(THIS DAY.) John Brummell and Willienn Petty were re-examined, charged with buaglary. It appeared that. on Friday night last, the premises of Mr. Searle, the boat builder, at Lambeth, were b ro k en i nto and robbed of a quantity of Clothes belonging to the members of the Oxford 11 herry Club. On the following morning the prisoners were taken into custody at a brothel, leading out of the Water loo-road, into which they were observed to go at an early hour. A great portion of the property was found in the house, and also a large silver medal that had been stolen from the Red Lion public-house at Lambeth, which had also been broken into and robbed a few nights previously. As the prisoners are suspected of having committed other burglaries in the district they were again remanded. REVERSIONARY INTEREST SO CIETY.-(THIS DAY.) A meeting of Members this Society was held this day at the So:iety's Office, 12, King's Arms-yard, Coleman-street. One of our reporters attended, bet he was informed that the Press could not be admitted; consequently we are unable to give our readers any account of the proceedings. Sunday last his father came to South-street, and took away the woman, saying be had got a situation for her, and he would come for him on the Monday, which he did, and brought him to that place. He had never seen the woman since. Beyond this nothing more could be gleaned from the boy. Stiperintendent Bicknell conveyed the intelligence to the Commissionei of Police yesterday morning, and they directed bills to be instantly printed and circulated, giving a full descrip tion of 66 murderer's person.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—As most of the troops under orders to proceed to India will embark at this port, active pre parations are being made throughout the district to get the barracks in readiness for their reception, preparatory to their embarkation. The St. Helena regiment, which was lying at Winchester barracks, has already been removed from that city to Parkhurst barracks, in the Isle of Wight. Part of the 16. h regiment of foot has also left Winchester, and is now at Gos port, and the remaining portion of the regiment wilt leave to morrow. This regiment will occupy Haslar and Forton bar racks, which are about to be vacated by the 73d Regi ment, which is to be conveyed by railway to London, whence it will march to Woolwich. The first division of the 73d left this morning ; the two first remaining divisions will leave to morrow and Saturday. The baggage was conveyed to Wool wich by the Adventure navy transport, which sailed yes terday morning. The Winchester barracks, vacated by the St. Helena and the 16th Regiments, have been since occupied by the 10th Regiment, which arrived from Glasgow last week, and by the depot of the 25th, about 400 strong►, which came yesterday by train from Basingstoke. The service companies of the 25th are already in India. several other regiments, under orders for India, as well as some of the depots of -regiments already there, are expected very shortly, and will occupy the Winchester, Chichester, Cumberland Fo:t, Park hur:t, Haslet, and Forton barracks. One hundred and six volunteers were brought down yesterday from Nine Elms by the Soush Western Railway train. The 9th Lancers are on their march from Weymouth and Dorchester to Canterbury ; part of them marched through Southampton on Monday last. This regiment, which has been very much scattered, part of it having been lying' at Weymouth, Dorchester, Exeter, Trow bridge, Cardiff, and Abergavenny, will reunite at Canterbury. It will there be dismounted, and its horses given up to the 4th Dragoons, which has recently returned from India. The 9th lancers will embark at Chatham in a few days for India. The Scots Greys marched through Fareham yesterday en route fr,,m Brighton to Weymouth and Exeter. lcland, T. D.

BERLIN, MA.acit 30.—For some days past, and especially since the departure of an officer of high rank for St. Peters burgh, we hear that net only the Prince. of Russia but his Majesty himelf, will go to that capital, to keep the twenty fifth anniversary of their Imperial Majesties' marriage. We have the following particulars from good authority :—His Majesty will go from Berlin to Posen, where he will stop two days. He will then go by way of Brunberg and Marienburg to Konigsburg, where he will ma e a very short stay, and then embark at Memel, in a steamer sent by the Emperor to convey him to Cronstadt. His Majesty will also return by sea and land at Dantzic, where he will stop two days, then return by way of Stettin (where he will also stop two days) to Berlin, and in a fortnight afterwards set out to visit the Rhenish provinces. Harrovxa, MARcn 25.—A report from Berlin speaks of an intended marriage between our Crown Prince and the Princess Agnes of Anhalt Dessau. We consider this report to be wholly unfounded; for though a marriage of our Crown Prince is by no means improbable, and Princess Agnes is one of the most amiable German Princesses, who would be an ornament to any throne; yet this marriage appears to us improbable on account of the near relationship of the parties. Princess Agnes is the daughter of the Duchess Frederica of Dessau, who was a daughter of our late Queen, by her first marriage with Prince Frederick Louis Charles of Prussia; Princes Agnes is, there fore, the daughter of the Crown Prince's sister (half-sister). his niece. The obstacles, according to the German law, in the way of the marriage between pei sons so nearly related, might indeed be easily removed, but it is different according to the English law, by which the marriage of uncle and niece is absolutely prohibited. The descendants, therefo e, of such a marriTe would be disqualified from succeeding to the British Crown.—(See Blackstone, vol. 1, ch T. 15.)
