Tooke) thought that the bill was calculated t o raost prejudicially against the interests of the Parish. 8 1 1. SAMUEL k.,„ WHALLEY moved the second Lord`auin of the St, Pancras Paving Bill. Th. the opposed the second reading. blll Was calculated to put the parish to an immense rc -- „lt n se. Mr.; parish was twenty miles in circumfe and had been divided into different districts for tt purpose of enabling the local boards in each dis ri t to legislate for that portion with which they were best acquanted. The object of the present bill was to consolidate these different boards, which he fi‘Ltord Stormont thought would be most injudicious. ue parish vestries had already quite enough to do Without requiring them to undertake the management ° l' what they knew very little about. It had been stated th at the bill would reduce the parish expenses ' , ve ry materially, but he (Lord S.) denied that it woldt the Nary that effeet. In a large district of the pans hiiirewwa.-sere no houses, and one of the objects of the ofith to levy a rate upon' the agricultural portions as e pari s h. To this he (Lord Stormont) objected, portions would be most benefitsunf i a n ir to make the agricultural which they did not parti ons pay f or 'Tate. It appeared that a great majority of the h ouseholders were opposed to the bill; and in point of Property it appeared that the amount in favour of the ill was 90,000/., while that against it was 230,000/. The noble l or d conc l u d e d b y moving that the bill be l ead a. second time that day six months. r kr. HUGHES HUGHES seconded the moti on t` the noble l or d, an d sa id , h e would not trouble the ' us e further th an b y stat i ng, that of the best con aP A llerati on o f the conflicting stateme n t ma d e res p ec ti ng us hill, h e t h ought it most advisable that it should I let pass into a law. t he 'l he SP EAKER put the original question, that word now, form Colonel art of the bill. EVANS r ose to support the bill. The ntoble lord (Stormont) had stated that the only saving _o the parish from this bill would be the 2,0001. upon t he lighting of the parish ; but was this no saving ? Tbesides, it was clear, there would be other savings, t l ) c o ll i , for instance, as 594/. in watering, 500/. in clerks,. of ttho i e surveyors' salaries, making altogether a saving for bout 5, ° 0 0L But his (Col. Evans's) chief ground izie_laPporting this bill, was the great principle admitted th `" all bills of this nature, namely, that those who have f mana gement of parish funds should be elected t r k ° t "me to time by those who pay those sums. eras'reent, the commissioners of the parish of St. Pan theii,wfere Uot at all responsible for the due . . exercise of he'unctions, as they were elected for life, instead of were elected for some stated period. Besides, there havepresent 19 different boards, unconnected with h av e other which it would le of great advantage to a liter consolidated ; for though the parish was certainly ra g one, yet he did not imagine that upon an aye the:, inore than su pport iles in diameter. For k r. reasonsi he would ppothe bill. ipueszil.e.,seA.nt\e‘d-ES opposed the bill, and said that he had a petition from the commissioners of the fo und a gainst it. The operation of the bill would be rates foraost exceptionable. He could state that the th e wh r ,the Parish amounted to 4,000/. a-year, whilst arnount%esePense of managing the outlay of them were n c e ,t - e elY 130/. a-year. The commissioners elected by4dvertis the rate.. a self..elected body in this case,. as they were payers, called together by public oti er ement. The bill was still more unjust in an theqc,ll.particular. There was at present a debt of `'UOO/. u pon the parish, and the bill gave the vestry th e —v er of paying off the principle at once,and,at ,Sartle time, of levying rates for the paving an d 11h int of th e parish. The rate-payers made no corn .,Z".t 6against the c ommissioners, as the charge for . „' - 'uting Was in that parish 9s. 6d. less per lamp than .„.„ 1- ' axle other parish. The bill gave the vestry the p o wer to take possession of the whole property of the sParish, and t o convert i t i nto money to pay off the debt. hey might take th e very shrubs and gravel from the T s quares for this purpose. In fact, a provision more nearly PPreaching to spoliation was not to be found in any bill. R uere were portions of the estates not in the parish of till'ancras, for which no provision was to be made, aIC u ,P they were equally interested. It was possible coUrColtioWwhile they were debating this question, a was deciding against the power of this Ir e e x s e t rY• ( Hear.) The Foundling estate was geperally pa N a c e d di egly well paved, but there were parts or it not at all, yet he thought it would be giving a vestry the ex traordinary power to authorise it to compel it. landlords to pave, and then to rate the tenants for liu ttb h e hon. member had said something about the Pn hisels h o o f v estrymen in favour of this bill, b u t h e h e ld again st a list whi c h s h owe d t h at t h ere were 3,600 L and but 1,900 for it. ORMONT explained. grat •,, uO KE would oppose the bill, because it was tn i git ‘ous interference with public business. It .hut i t aye the appearance of equalizing the rates, Une (in w rld be found eventually to press heavily and Siarereaina ;3 7 in many parts which were yet, and would ~nr a considerable time, unfinished. :till-el -JAM HORNE said the question was sweli P e a t r il u e te l: present system, which consisted of 29 c onsolid () %missions, or whether the whole should be nittehi o .,"‘ed so as to give this parish the benefit of solid (H ear. which was enjoyed by other parishes. tw o There were nineteen independent boards and 11.4_,,,,:trricts without any board, and the question was see e n t_tl e _the general benefit of the parish should be the i c ion d s b e y t t o h e is nt b e i t li zr t r e t. ;eO H , oed t r h e ;r d e i f n o g r requested b enefit the general question os metingn the of universal tthe bil oenefit of the parish, by giving co nsolidative . and wholesome machinery, instead of the present disjointed Rod unequal system. (Hear.) Mr. VIGORS supported the bill, and stated, that, 4t eportin a vestry called last week to consider th e propriety of . g the measure, there were 44 in favou r of it, 4,4:131 against it —of which latter number there were ntless than 19 commissioners. Out of the 19 boards rrrtieisch did the business of the parish, 12 of them were to teonsible, were self-electeo, and not accountable of the Parishion ers f or t h e i r con d uc t. The machinery 1 sat . Parish wou ld work better, would give greater I,3,;laction, and wou ld cause a grea t s aving of expense i t htee provisi ons of the bill now before the house than .laid hitherto done, and therefore he should support it. he dideRA.WFORD opposed the bill, believing, as 0,4 that the parish would gain nothing by h ne. c ' un the contrary, he thought that it would all thecause a oast profuse expenditure. If it proposed that tr act heworks of the parish should be done by con jobl3inf w oUld have supported it, but looking at the t ° op p ose 8. % hieh the bill Would cause, he felt it his duty th~g it. r • Publi c .L. , IILLL said the question was, whether . °r a n c Money was to be expended by a responsible of Zbeespoiisible body?

He did not concur in the assertion that there were nineteen irre sponsible bodies. lie did not understand what the term irresponsible meant.' He hoped that the house would not be hoodwinked into the passing of a bill which intended nothing btA to replenish the coffers of some gentlemen who had been bankrupts, and men anxious to get the distribution of 601. or 70/. a-year into their hands. Sir R. PEEL considered that the hon. member for Dublin had offered the most tempting argument against the dispersion of legislative bodies, in his remarks upon the present bill. He (Mr. O'C.) was in favour of eoneolidating responsible bodies, and that was certainly at variance with the previous arguments he had advanced from time to time on the expediency of separating the component parts of the legislature of the kingdom. (Hear.) Mr. WILK S spoke against the bill. Mr. ROEBUCK supported the bill. Sir S. WHALLEY replied. There never was a more unfounded imputation than that brought forward against the vestry of the parish of St. Pancras by the hon. and learned member for London. He threw back that imputation, in the strongest terms which the usages of the house allowed him, and he ,]would tell the hon. member that he would be ashamed to belong to any body that could have been guilty of such acts. He must suppose that the hon. member got his infor mation from seine discarded vestryman, who had been irritated by his loss of office. The stone yard to which allusion had been made, had been formed for the pur pose of giving employinent to the able-bodied poor of the parish, and since it had been established the number of applicants for work had increased from 80 to 800. It would be absurd in any man to make such a proposition to that house for the purpose of pav ing and watching the parish, as to move that nineteen local boards should be established in the parish of Marylebonc, which comprised a rental of double the extent was conducted by one board. He ( Sir S. W.) had nothing to say against the character of the present local boards—they might be, for aught he knew, " all honourable men," but he contended that the bill before the House would be a decided improvement upon the present system. According to the present mode of conduct ing parochial affairs, the several local boards were, in stead of reducing the debts of their respective districts, borrowing money to pay the interest, and thus adding to the debt. The present bill would tend to reduce, and finally annihilate the debt. He ( Sir S. W.) would not detain the house by bringing forward arguments in favour of the bill ; it had been urged that the vestries would not be properly constituted, but it appeared, on the contrary, that in the parish of Alarylebone the du ties of the board had been fairly and honourably dis charged. Nothing in his opinion but interested motives could induce any person to oppose the present bill. Every hon. member who had stood up, had ab stained from opposing the principle of the bill, and seemed as if he had come there retained for the inte rests of some particular body of commissioners. He thought hon. members would have acted much more fairly if they had reserved their opposition to particular por tions of the bill till it had gone into committee, and he ( Sir S. W.) would there have satisfied them that the interests of the bondholders, and every other class of the parishioners, would be carefully attended to. Mr. CRAWFORD explained. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading 29 Against it 35 Majority against the second reading —6 Lord J. STUART took the oaths and his seat. TRADES' UNIONS. _ _ Mr. C. BERKELEY presentecl — a petition from Lord Seagrave against the Berkeley Canal. The same HON. MEMBER presented a petition from the inhabitants of Cheltenham, numerously signed, praying that the house would present an address to his Majesty, to mitigate the punishment of the Dorsetshire agriculturists for administering unlaw ful oaths. He did not agree with the prayer of the petition. The same hon. member then presented a petition from the protestant dissenters of Bewdley, praying to be relieved from their grievances. Mr. RUT HVEN, in reference to the petition from Cheltenham, said that it was very hard that men should' be punished for a crime which they had ignorantly committed. He thought that concilia tory measures would be much more effectual in sup pressing the Unions than such severe measures as had been adopted with respect to the Dorsetshire Union ists. He hoped his Majesty's Ministers would take the case of these unfortunate men into consideration. Mr. HARDY said he had formerly expressed his opinion that workmen might legally unite for the ma nagement of their business and personal affairs, but he never could support a system- which by force of arms, as it were, attempted to compel masters and others to do what they pleased. Such a system had occasioned the murder of a young man in December, 1822, because he worked for a master which displeased a union. His sentiments had been much misrepresented, and he must say that unions, conducted as those were at Exeter and elsewhere, were doing nothing but mischief, and bringing ruin upon the unfortunate members. Sir C. BURRELL thought those persons could not be called the friends of liberty who supported a system of tyranny like that of the trades' unions, which forced men to do that which they would not otherwise do but from fear. Major BE AUCL ERK admitted the force of the preceding observations, but reminded the house there were other unions—unions of country gentlemen to grind the poor, and to send men out of their country for taking a hare. He would support the union of men for a good object, but he certainly would never countenance any act of violence or improper motive. Mr. BAINES said he believed the persons engaged in the unions had since the conviction of the men at Dorchester abstained from acts of violence. Those men were convicted of an offence certainly, but it would have been better under the circumstances if the government had extended mercy to them. He hoped it was not yet too late to remit a portion of their punishment, and he believed the labouring population were well aware now of the illegality of such offences. Mr. O'CONNELL hoped the hon. member who presented the petition would move the house to address the throne in favour of the convicted men. As the case was reported in the papers, the offence certainly came within the letter of the statute, and the judge, on conviction, was bound to pass the sentence he had done. It was a slumbering statute from 1797, but if it were literally enforced, every person engaged in Orange lodges, freemasons' lodges, and others, was liable to be similarly punished. He hoped, however, the punish ment would still be mitigated, for the men did not intend to violate the law. (Hear.) They were parties to a crime which they did not know to be so. But they were not transported merely for taking an oath. (Hear, hear.) They were transported because the Trades' Unions were supposed to be getting for midable. He knew there was no greater tyranny than for a man to interfere with the labour of another, but the convicted men were ignorant of the law, and mercy should be extended to them. Colonel CON OLL Y wished to correct the hon. gentleman regarding the oaths taken by Orange so cieties : as soon as the law was passed prohibiting their existence, they dissolved. Mr. O'CONNELL explained. Mr. C. BERKELEY thought that the case of the Dorchester men was not one fit for the consideration of his Majesty's ministers. Colonel E VANS thought that the clear statement made by Mr. O'Connell was sufficient to convince any one that the extreme rigour of the law should not be carried into execution in that case. The hon. member al luded to the revolting case of a child being killed by a severe beating f rom hi s master, and only two months' imprisonment was d eemed sufficient punishment. i Now that sentence w as too lenient, and heol g h s t h i e t d a hardship that those men s h ou ld b e so severelyt punished. Mr. R OTC H quoted, fr om " The Tradesu'aUnion Magazine," a paragraph respecting the use of oaths in that body, because it was useless to bind by an oath which would not be kept; therefore (continued the honourable member) oaths were discarded, not because the law prohibited them, but of their uselessness. (Cries of " No, no.") He thought it right that the labouring classes e should r be inde pendent of their employers, and free from any tyrannous power, but meetings and bodies f of He differed from assembling should be preve nted. the hon. gentleman (Mr. O'Connell) w who said was that the statute was a slumbering one. Itwas not—it d acted upon in another case, as could be ascertained by consulting the sports. REPEAL OF THE UNION. Mr. CHRISTMAS presented a petition from the inhabitants of Waterford against the Repeal of the Union. He contended that the property, intelligence, and wealth of the country from which the petition came, were against the repeal of that measure, and he thought it would be attended with the most unhappy consequences to both countries. Mr. MAXWELL (we understood) said that from his knowledge of the county he represented, - he was satisfied that there was not one person in the rank of a gentleman who was favourable to the repeal of the Union, and he could also assert that the question was not gaining ground among the, commercial or trading classes. Mr. O'CONNELL said the petition was, he be lieved, very respectably signed, but amongst those who signed it were persons who had formed a con spiracy to appropriate the entire honour and profits of the corporation of Waterford to themselves. He de nied that the assertion of the hon. member for Cavan that there was no person, in the rank of a gentleman, in that county favourable to the measure, was cor rect. There were more 50/. freeholders in the counties which had returned repeaters, than in those which had returned gentlemen f opposite principles ; and in proof of the progress which the question was making they had lately received an ac cession of support from the north of Ireland, where the question of repeal had not been hitherto much discussed. Mr. C HRISTMAS explained. The hon. member then presented a petition from the shipowners of Waterford, complaining of the depressed state of their trade, and praying relief. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Mr. MILES presented twenty-seven petitions from different parishes in Somersetshire, complaining of agricultural distress. The agricultural districts were becoming discontented. A Spirit of resistance was roused amongst them by protracted sufferings. He regretted that the government held out no prospect of relief' and hoped that they would yet take . the distress of the agricultural interest into consideration. Mr. K. TYNTE supported the prayer of the peti tion, which was then ordered to lie on the table. Mr. MILES then presented four petitions from So mersetshire, praying that relief might be given to the dissenters. Mr. F. LEWIS brought up the report of the com mittee upon the Montgomeryshire canal petition. Mr. MIL ES presented a petition from Henley for the better observance of the Sabbath ; and another from Watford for the establishment of Local Courts.. It being three o'clock, the Speaker left the chair. LIST OF THE MINORITY Of 31 (Tellers included), who voted for the second reading of the St. Pancras Paving Bill : E. Baines, T. W.

We are glad to see that the French Govern ment would willingly surrender their conquest of Algiers, if the Republican party would cease its clamours. In a report made on the budget of the War Department we find its abandonment as a colony re commended by M. Passy, the chairman of the com mittee, in language which must communicate new ideas on the subject to the French -people. He shows that it cannot be retained with a less army than 25,000 men ; that it costs France 30,000,000 f., or 1,200,0001„ a-year ; that its own revenues do not amount to 60,000/. ; that the natives cannot be civilized ; and that European colonists cannot be induced to settle among them till they are so. This report must pro duce an important change of public opinion respecting this foolish attempt at colonization.— Times. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Mirried, on the ith instant, at Monkstown, Lord Viscount Netter ville, to Eliza, third daughter of Joseph Kirwin, Esq., late of Hillsbrook, county Galway. Immediately after the ceremony, Lord and Lady Netterville sailed for England. The Windham Club and the Agent for the Proprietor of the Temple, in Pall-mall, have not come to terms. The contract which was in progress is now at an end. We perceive the mansion is now to be let, furnished. George Gorkatcht, a Polish soldier, deserted from his regiment in the harvest of the year 1677. He was discovered a few days after drinking and making merry in an ale-house. The moment he was appre hended he was so much terrified that he gave a loud shriek, and was immediately deprived of the power of speech.:When brought to a courtmartial it was impos sible to make him articulate a word—nay, he became as immoveable as a statue, and appeared totally'uncon scious of what was going forward. In the prison to which he was conducted he neither ate nor drank. The officers and priests at first threatened him, and afterwards endeavoured ta sooth and console him, but all their efforts were in vain ; he remained senseless and immoveable His irons were struck off, and he was taken out of prison, but he did not move. Twenty days and nights were passed in this way, and he gradu ally sunk and died. An appalling instance of sudden death has occurred at Largs, in the case of Mr. Andrew Fleming,' pawnbroker, Paisley, and his wife, the couple having both gone to bed in usual health and spirits on Satur day night, and having been found both dead in bed next morning . The apartment in which they sl e pt was not inhabited during winter, but whether it had a charcoal fire in it or not we are not informed. The parties had evidently died without a struggle.—Scots man. We understand the Rev. Dr. Percy, of Bos ton, and his people, have resolved to imitate the Ame ricans by holding religious meetings for four days in succession—beginning on Tuesday, the 22d of April, and terminating on the following Friday. All reli gious distinctions and party peculiarities are to be laid aside, while a number of respectable ministers of dif ferent denominations unite their efforts in the cause of truth and holiness versus error and sin.—,Stamford Mercury. — Several - Whitefeet outrages have recently oc curred in the Barony of Enneshowen, in the north of Ireland. It is again stated that the Agrarian warfare in this district is directed against the payment of rents as well as tithes. ARTILLERY WOMEN.—On Saturday two young women, of the names of Kelly and Robertson, were put to the bar of the Police Court, Glasgow, fully accoutred in the dress of the Royal Artillery, a party of whom are at present lying in our barracks. It appeared from the evidence that the females had purloined the clothing of the soldiers, while they were asleep in a house in the High-street, and dressing themselves out in the regimentals, had stolen away to a public-house, where, as might be expected, they soon created a disturbance, and were marched to the police-office. The Magistrate, after commenting on their disgraceful conduct, sentenced them to 60 days' imprisonment in Bridewell.—Scotsman. PIRICE OF A KlCK.—Thursday a woman entered the shop of a female merchant, to whom she owed 20s. 7id., was craved for the debt, and because she could not pay, got a kick, and was turned out. It was of this kick that she on Friday came before the magistrate to complain. The magistrate, after due investigation, regarding the impetus of the kick, &c., found that it was a very moderate one, valued it at 2s. 7id., and reduced the debt to that extent. It is reported that the complainer has agreed to receive as many more kicks, at 2s. each, as will kick her wholly out of debt.---Glasgow Courier. HORRIBLE AND MYSTERIOUS MURDER. —On Wednesday last the neighbourhood of Lawley street was thrown into the utmost confusion, owing to the commission of a most daring and barbarous murder on the body of a woman named Webb, in her own house, and at noon-day. The deceased was an aged married woman, and resided with her husband in a court in the above street. Webb is a gardener, and goes out to work daily in a piece of ground which he rents, at a distance of a mile and a half from his i resi dence. His wife sold the produce of the garden n the house, together with bacon, which they reared and killed. On the morning of the day on which the un fortunate woman was murdered, her husband left home as usual about eight o'clock, with the understanding that his wife was to come to him to the garden about four o'clock with his tea. During the day, and up to three o'clock, she was seen about the place, and at half-past three o'clock she was found in the kitchen of her own house, lying weltering in her blood, with her throat cut in the most shocking manner. Various sus picions, as are usual in suc h cases, were enterta i ne d, but nothing like a clue t o th e perpetrators coul d b e traced. Information was sent to S. W. Whateley, Esq., coroner, and on Thur s d ay even i ng that gentleman, ac companied by one or more medical gentlemen, went to the house, and having exami ne d t h e b ody, and ma d e the necessary inquiries, the inquest was fixed for the following morning (yesterday), to be held at the Globe Tavern, Vauxhall-row. After evidence had been heard, the inquest was adjourned. -- Birmingham Journal. COURT CIRCULAR.

This morning his Majesty left the Castle, and pro ceeded in his carriage and four, with outriders, to Richmond, but will return to the Castle this evening to dinner. Her Majesty has not ridden out to-day; but, accompanied by the ladies of her suite, notwith standing the unpleasant state of the weather, has walked for some time on the Terrace, and through the Slopes to Adelaide Lodge. Prince George of Cambridge, accompanied by his tutor, the Rev. Mr. Wood, arrived at the Castle on Thursday evening. Her Majesty and suite rode on horseback towards Colnbrook, to meet his Royal Highness ; the Prince's favourite pony was also sent to meet him ; when the Royal relatives met, the young Prince mounted his pony, and rode to the Castle with her Majesty. His Royal Highness has been absent some months on a visit to his parents at Hanover, and arrived at Dover only on Wednesday. Lord Howe, the Baroness Howe, and Sir Wathen Waller have arrived at the Castle to-day, and Lady Brownlow, as Lady in Waiting on her Majesty, is expected this evening. The following distinguished persons have taken their departure from the Castle this day :—The Duke of Dorset, Lord and Lady Denbigh, Lord and Lady Mayo, and Mrs. Smith (sister to Lady Mayo), Lord and Lady Howden, and Mr., Mrs., and Miss Clithero. On Monday the King and Queen are expected to go to Kew, and to return to the Castle in the evening. On Wednesday their Majesties will proceed to St. James's, on which day the King will hold a Levee ; the following day a Drawing-room will be held, and on Friday their Majesties are expected to return to the Castle. On the 24th of May a grand ball will be given at St. James's Palace by their Majesties, in honour of her Royal Highness Princess Victoria's birthday. Her Majesty, attended by a numerous suite, will honour Covent-garden Theatre with her presence on Wednesday next, to see the new opera of The Challenge. Kenney's new farce of a Good Looking Fellow will be produced at Covent-garden onThursday. THE THEATRES.—The theatrical novelties for the present week are few, in consequence of the success which has attended those already produced. At Drury-lane Sardanapalus is announced for four nights a week. To-morrow, The Minister and Mercer, which is to be regularly served up every sub sequent Tuesday night. On Wednesday, at Covent garden, Mozart's grand opera of Don Juan will be brought forward, in which Braham is to appear as the Don, and H. Phillips as his scape-goat valet, Leperello. The cast also embraces Templeton, Seguin, and Bed ford; and the parts of Donna Anna, Donna Elvira, and Zerlina, will be sustained by Misses Inverarity, Betts, and Shirreff. The opera will be followed by a new farce, entitled A Good-looking Man. The Minors, with the exception of the Fitzroy Theatre, proclaim nothing new. The latter promises for this evening a new farce, called The Siamese Twins. These indivisibles, duo juncta in uno, are to be per sonated by Messieurs Mitchell and Oxberry. The fairy ballet opera of The Frolics of the Fairies to commence, and the burlesque of The Revolt of the Workhouse to conclude, the evening's entertainments. _ • It is said that her Majesty has graciously desired that her name should be placed at the head of the ladies' subscription for the purpose of restoring a statue of Queen Eleanor on Waltham Cross, with a donation of 25/. —Herts Mercury. Sir Robert Smirke has examined Westmin ster Hall, and reported that the restoration and repair will cost 17,0001.

NEWCASTLE 'URN A RKIT -April 12. We had about the usual supply of Wheat from the farmers to-day, with little coastways during the week, and the whole was taken off readily at a trifling advance on the best parcels. Oats also sold freely at an advance of 6d. to Is. per quarter. The cool weather is favourable for the Barley trade, and a good deal of fine Norfolk has been sold lately at 30s. a 31s. per quarter, but the inferior qualities arc still little inquired after. Fine Malt steady sale. In Rye, Beans, or Pease little doing. Flour sells readily, but we can yet note no advance in prices. New.

A man has just expired in St. Thomas's Hospital, on whose body an attempt was recently made to tie the subclavian artery. The miserable man was under the hands of the operator nearly four hours. During the progress of the operation warm words were exchanged between two of the surgeons concern ing the structure of an exposed part—one alleging that it was an artery, the other insisting that it was not —when one of the two abruptly left the theatre. Will the surgeon publish his own report of the case ? Lancet. OVERTURNING OF THE LEEDS MAIL PASSENGERS SEVERELY INJURED.-011 Saturday night the mail for London, which left Leeds at about half past eight o'clock, when about four-and-a-half miles on this side of Sheffield, about half-past twelve o'clock, was overturned. On descending a hill the horses ran away. The coach had no drag (it is not customary on the north road), and from some observations which escaped the hostler at the previous stage, it is believed one of the horses was of a restless character. The driver was a steady decent man, and so was the guard, and no blame could possibly attach to either. There were four passengers in the inside, and two persons were on the outside, besides the driver and guard. The four, inside passengers were Mr. Atkinson, Mr. William Baker, of Nottingham, Mr. R. Wynn Wil liams, of London, and a young French lady. They escaped without much injury, the lady being the only individual who suffered—but not severely. Of the two outside passengers, one had both his legs literally smashed to pieces, and his head was dreadfully cut. Tne other complained dreadfully of his hip—it is sup posed one of his thigh bones was broken. The coach man was literally covered with blood ; the guard was also severely injured, though less so than the driver. The coach, fortunately for the inside passengers was overturned in the middle of the road. Such had bode the velocity of the motion of the coach, that after one of the passengers got out, he observed the uppermost, wheel still revolving. The passengers who were un injured proceeded on to the nearest village, situated between Sheffield and Chesterfield—Drumfield, where there are two surgeons. On applying at the house of the first, a servant maid answered she did not know whether he was at home or not, but said she would see. On returning she said he was not at home. The other surgeon, a Mr. Nicholson, with the utmost alacrity hastened to the spot to afford relief to the unfortunate sufferers. Fresh horses were obtained, and the coach, u i t t : a t is u r : with a little management, was put in a condition t o proceed t ; h e and m our was a informant, Ar. . i Morton, jie..m b a y n ' un able to state more respecting the unfortunate sufferers.

VEN MEETING. Newmarket, Sunday afternoon. Our Craven Meeting, which commences to-morrow, although it boasts not so many races as we have seen in some former lists, betrays little or no falling off in actual value or importance ; between 30 and 40 stakes, plates, and matches, are down for decision, amounting in value to near 24,0001., and including in their en :ries several horses engaged in the great events to come off at Epsom. Since the October meetings last year some changes have taken place in the training establishments here :—Lord Chesterfield's hcrses are now at the late Mr. Theakstone's stables, under the care of Foster (from the north), Mr. Walker's and other horses trained by John Scott, being in the same stables, Sir Sandford Graham's lot is in private training, with Harlick (late head lad at Pettit's) as groom. Lord Lichfield's horses are placed under the superintendence of William Arnull, and Lord Exe ier's under Cassidy, head lad with his Lordship's late trainer, Marson. Cooper has between 30 and 40 horses belonging to Colonel Peel, Mr. Yates, Mr. J. Mills, and Mr. Payne, Prince has a long string, the vacancy occasioned by the removal of Lord Chester field's and Lord Lichfield's lots having been filled up with Lord Egremont's. Stevenson's stables are full ; indeed, if the quantum of sport is to be gathered from the number of horses In training, we cannot fail to have a brilliant season, for there are upwards of 400 liable to the customary impost of one guinea to the Jockey Club. The strength of this lot is not merely numerical, for, independent of a powerful team of old horses, tt!( , three-year-olds are admitted by competent judges to be more than usually promising. Scott's horses have been a little " off," and Revenge is said to be below " eon cert-pitch ;" but the stables generally are more healthy than could have been expected from the easterly winds, a continuance of which cannot faii to have a prejudicial effect. Of the Derby nags those mostly fancied here are Bentley, Brother to Kate, and Plenipotentiary. The latter is certainly one of the finest colts ever seen at Newmarket ; he forcibly reminds us of his half-bro ther (on the sire's side), Priam, and, fit appearance, fully justifies the extreme confidence expresOed by Mr. Batson. The North-country favourite, Bubestes, is not fancied with the Newmarket people ; but his se,!_lool master, Rockingham, is a general favourite. The principal races to come off are the Riddles worth, the Tuesday's Riddlesworth, the Oatlands, the Filly Stakes, the Port, and the Claret. Of the 23 entered for the first stake seven are dead, and the others altogether " dark." Of the latter, Viator, who receives three pounds, has been tried so favourably as to make him first favourite. Mr. Roberts's colt, the Angelica colt, Whitefoot, Cream, and Darius, also receive the allowance. For the Tuesday's Riddlesworth Zulima, with the full weight, is favourite. Cotillon and Rosalie are in the Filly Stakes, but it is doubtful whether the Yorkshire mare will show. The Claret is poor ; while, to compensate for its weakness, the Port is rich and strong, the entry comprehending Mussulman, Revenge, Sir Robert, and several other crack horses. As a guide for those who may feel interested in the events to be decided in the ensuing meeting,, we subjoin a list of the horses engaged in them which are now in training here Two-year olds—Weatherrock, Wellington, and Chance.
