As a compensation for the over-time in which the numerous workmen of Woolwich and Deptford have been necessarily engaged for the despatch of the gun and mortar boats, it is said that the Lords of the Ad miralty have decided on appropriating a steam vessel for the accommodation of the clerks and others thus em ployed in Woolwich and Deptford dockyards, so as to enable them t witness the effect to which their labours and exertions have so largely contributed.

THE CAVAN SPECIAL COMMISSION. The Cavan Commission was opened yesterday morning by Chief Justice Monahan ani Mr. Justice Moore. The proceedings attracted great interest, and the court• house was crowded to suffocation. The Att )rney and Solicitor General, aided by two other Crown lawyers, attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Johnson and Mr. Dowse were engaged to conduct the defence of the men charged with the murder of Miss Hinds. The commis sion having been real, the grand panel was called over, and 23 gentlemen answered and were sworn. Them was a large muster of petit jurorA, of whom 12 were challenge" by the prisoners, and 14 by the Crown. When a jury hal been constituted and sworn, James Murphy was given in charge for having wilfully, felo niously, murdered Miss Charlotte Hinds on the 12th of OA )ber last. He is about 30 years of ago. He was dressed with care, and, though manifesting con siderable interest in the proceedings, did not appear alarmed. The Attorney-General opened the case in a speech of considerable length and ability, and several witcoises havin g been examined, at 5 o'clock the Crown case closed, and the Court adjourned to this morning, when the defence is to be opened. THE MURDER OF MRS. KELLY. The fate of this unfortunate lady, whose name has, one way or another, been familiar to the Irish public for up wards of a qeartmr of a century, has excited a sensation here which scarcely falls short of the interest attached to the catastrophe of Hampsteal-heath. From her first appearance in a c )urt of law, when a mere girl in years, down to her last, as a disputant in the celebrated will case, hardly a year passed over without some revelation in the singular history of the inheritress of the almost fabolous wealth bequeathed to her by the late Mr. Kelly, of Rookwood, in the county of Roscommon. Less re markable persons have had their " life" transmitted to p)sterity, and possibly a simi!ar notoriety will preserve the memory of the ill-fated victim of one of the blackest murders that ever stained the annals of Irish crime. The accounts of the diabolical tragedy are as yet incomplete, but enough has transpired privately to warrant the belief that when the whole facts are brou4ht to there will be ample materials for a chapter in the New late Calen dar at least as dark in shale as any hitherto recorded in the pages of that production. The following appears in the Freeman's Journal of this morning : " Oar city was yesterday horrified by an account of the brutal murder of Mrs. Sarah Kelly, so well known in con . . nection with the suit which had been long litigated in our courts. We have only the simple fact of the murder, amplified by the addition of a few slight details. This mys terious transaction is not likely to receive a further develop ment until the inquest. Meanwhile it appears that this bar- barons assassination was accompanied with circumstances of great atrocity. Mrs. Kelly had been visiting her property near the town of Moate, iu Roscommon, accompanied by one of her nephews. On Tuesday evening, about half-past six o'clock, she appears to have gone from her residence, at the solicitation of some woman, to visit the cottage of a favourite tenant. She was leaning on the arm of her nephe sat the time, when two men, wearing masks, and armed, suddenly appeared before her, and discharged two pistol shots at the unfortunate lady. They hit her in the temple. The effect was instantaneous She died without uttering a word. We have hoard various rumours about this sad transaction, to which weattaoh no belief. ' Some persons closely connected with Mrs. Kelly have, we understand, been arrested. We deem it prudent at present to omit names. No doubt a search ing inquiry will be instituted to reach the parties privy to the foul deed. Wo hear detective officers have been set to work, and already many surmises have gone forth. So far as we could learn, the murder is unconnected with agrarian causes—at least, none of the accounts which reached the city yesterday state anything to that effect. We hear that, so far from being a harsh proprietor, Mrs. Kelly was very popular with her tenantry and the labouring population on her estate, wkom she liberally aided, on many occasions, with gifts of clothing, 1 edding, eze." _ . _ Here is another version, as published by the Ex pre3B : " It' appears that in the depressed times Mrs. Kelly had made large temporary abatements in the rents of her Bove: al properties, but that some short time since she wished to raise them towards their former level, and had caused notices to be served to that effect, which is assigned as the immediate cause . . of her murder. The two ruffians were dressed in female habi liments, and, in addition to their faces being blackened, wore thick crape yells. The murder occurred at 6 o'clock, and the firing of the pistols was distinctly hcArd in Mrs. Kelly's house. Her brains bespattered the ground where she fell. It is not known what course Mr. Strevans, who is a young man, pur sued on the instant ; but within a very short time a horse and man were despatched to Moate, and the police arrived, and a labouring man named Owen Waters, who was then in Mrs. Kelly's employment-, but who had not been at work during that day, was arrested ou suspicion, and information was sent of the affair to the deceased's nephew and agent, Mr. Strevans, of Kiltoon, county of Roscommon, and broth( r of the gentleman whe was with Mrs. Kelly at the time of the murder, A circumstance which affords some surprise and sufficient evidence of the lawless character of tho immt. diate neighbourhood of the late unfortunate lady's residence is to be found in the fact that within the sliort space of two years two persons have been killed while in her employ. The first was an orphan boy from Ballinasloe, named Lyons, whom Mrs. Kelly had taken into her employment, for the appre hension of whose murderers she offered a reward of 501. ; and the other was a man named Barett, the husband of the mur dered lady's own maid." A letter in Saunders of this day supplies the sub- joined additional particulars : " RALLINASLOE, Wednesday.—The circumstances connected with the murder of this lady on Tuesday evening aro of a very singular nature, and although the police authorities have not had sufficient time to institute inquiries, it is not thought that the horrible crime was the result of any agrarian conspi racy, as in the case of the late Miss Hinds. The name of Mrs. Kelly has long been before the public in conn:ction with the will of her husband, of Ruxborough, in the county of Galway, who left her property which, at the time of his death, amounted to 11,0001. a-year, and upwards of 20J,000/. in ready money or avail►ble sureties. The will was disputed by the next of kin, and after great litigation, in the beginning adverse to the wife, her title was established. She had for some years resided each season at a handsome seat not far from Brighton, having her Dublin house in Upper B ggit street and also a property, which was occasionally visited, in Ballinderry, in the county of Westmeath, the post-t awn of which is Moate. With her great wealth she lived in a very quiet man ner, and in pecuniary matters as well as in the general affairs of life she displayed considerable intelligence and sagacity. Mrs. Kelly left Dublin very recently for Ballinderry, where she pur posed building a new and handsome mansion, and on Mon day last, before dinner, walked about the grounds in com pany with a professional gentleman who was on a visit. After their return to the house it is stated that she walked out again with a relative, and after some time a shot was heard, which at the moment created no uneasiness. However, in a short time her companion returned and stated that Mrs. Kelly had been brutaly murdered; that as they were passing close to a ditch two men, dressed in female attire, and with erapeveils drawn over their faces, jumped out and warned him to stand aside ; that a shot was then fired which took effect on the lady ; and that when the assassins went off he at once fled and gave the alarm. The dAnestics went at once to the spot, and the unfortunate Mrs. Kelly was found lying dead, the head presenting a fearful spectacle." DUBLIN, THURSDAY EVENING. THE MURDER OF MRS. KELLY. The following appears in a second edition of the Free. man's Journal of this day : " The inquest on the body of the late Mrs. Kelly has been adjourned until Tuesday next, when it will be re newed in the court house of Monte. The case is a most extraordinary one, and many strange rum ours are in circulation on the subject, but as yet nothing authentic has transpired calculated to fix the guilt of the deed upon any one. A. relative of the deceasel has been arrested, and is now in custody ; but we have not heard of the circumstances, if there are any, which may have caused suspicion to fall upon him. This person, it is said, had the management of the Bailin derry property. " Our correspondent says This day (Wednesday I viAiteel the place where this dreadful murder was com mitted ; it is on the top , f a hill, a long way from Mrs. Kelly's house. It is said that when the unfortunate lady was walking with her nephew the two assassins, having their faces blackened, and being otl eewise dis guised, came into the field through the gate. They walked quietly up to their victim, rho at first was not aware of their approach ; but, seeing them, and appre hending their murderous purpose, she fell fainting to the ground ; while in this condition one of the murderers deliberately stooped over the prostrate body aid shot her through the head with a pistol. He then stepped aside, and the other mi creant did the same. The her the deceased presented a frightful spectacle, the sku, being literally blown into fragments, and the brain scat tered about. I picked up many pieces of her skull, and saw one bullet dug out of the ground underneath where e her brains lay.'

DEATH OF SIRE. 11. LECIIMEEE, BART.—We ( W ar - cc's , ers hire Chronicle) regret to have to record the death of ' Sir Edmund ilungrford Lechmete, the head of the eminent firm of Berwick, Lechmere, and Co., bankers, of this city, Tewesbury, and Upton, which occurred on Wednesday last, from a termination of gout to a vital part. The deceased baronet was in good health up to a f e w hours previous to the fatal seizure, and on the day before his death was attending to business in Worcester as usual. SUlClDES.—Yesterday morning a respectable-looking man was found with his throat cut, in the water-closet of the Feathers public-house, Ranelagh-road, He had about ten minutes before called for some porter at the bar, and having left, and remained absent some time, a person was sent to lock for him. He was taken to the Westminster Hospital, but died soon after his admission. Deceased appeared to be about 45 years of nge, but there was nothing to lead to his identification. —A. woman named Mary Regan, aged 50, residing in Prince's street, Drury-lane, also committed suicide yes terday by cutting her throat. She was of intemperate habits, and had been drinking for the last fortnight. Upon examination it was found that she had a knife fu each hand, and cut her throat downwards and horizon tally, in the form of a cross. She died soon after her removal to King's College Hospital. GREAT EDUCATIONAL MEETING AT TIALIyAX.-011 Wednesday evening a densely-crowded meeting wiser*. bled in the Oddfellows' Hall, Halifax, convened by the Mayor, on a requisition signed by upwards of 200 inha bitants, to "petition Parliament in favour of a general measure of national education, which shall be subject to local management, and supported by local taxation, and which, at the same time, 8 , 11 , all not imp e d e vo l un t a ry efforts in the like direction. Mr. Edward Akroyd, in a vigorous and earnest speech, moved the adoption of the petition, and was supported by Mr. Abbott and Mr. J. Stores Smith. The Rev. W Walters moved an amendment, deprecating all Governmental interference, which was su pported by Alderman Crossley, &c. Tue amendment, on a division, was lost by a small majority, and the petition was then adopted, amid loud cheers. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—The last addit'ou to the war group has been a portrait model of the pre sent King of Prussia. His Majesty is represented in the uniform of a general, consitting of a dark blue tunic, with red facings and silver lace epaulettes, &c. This group is certainly one of the most interesting ob jects in the exhibition, representing, as it does, *lost of the chief monarchs and other great personages interested in the passing events of the day. THE LATE SIR CHARLES HOTHAM. The following letter has been addressed to thq Editor of the Tinter Sir,—ln one one of your leaders of to-day you affirm that milirary and naval officers are generally unfitted by their profession to glvern our colonies. You illustrate your argument by the acts and death of Captain Sir Charles llotharu at Victoria, and in so doing you have committed a great injustice to that distinguishei officer. You write— "An unfortunate instance of the unfitness of military and naval officers for the government of colonies is afforded by the history of the governor whose death has given occasion to these observations. Sir Charles Hotham is a linitted on all hautls to have been au excellent officer, having shown on many occasions the most undaunted courage, and once—un happily for him—very considerable dexterity in managing a negotiation with such assistance as he could derive from the cannon of his frigate. On the strength of these excellent qua lities Sir C. Hotham was sent to govern the turbulent colony of Victoria," &c. Now this statement, incorrect in fact, and placed in context with the rest of your rrticle, would make your readers suppose that Sir C. Hotham was merely a brave sailor, who had rendered no more difficult and fruitful service to his country than that of forcing the blockade of the Parana and Buenos AyreP, which he accomplished many years ago after a desperate action. Far from this being the case, Sir C. Hotham was n highly-educated gentleman and linguist. Early in 1352 he submitted to Lord Granville, then Minister of Fo reign Affairs, a most able paper, showing the immense importance to this country of opening the internal trade of South America to Europe through the vast channels at the Parana and Paraguay, which pierce it for 1,200 nni 1,500 miles. Immediately afterwards Lord Derby's Government took office, and I sent Sir C. Hotham to negotiate a coinmercial treaty with these riverain States. Former fe-lures, the proverbial jealousy and sluggishness of those races, their continual civil wars, and their uncivilised con• dition, rendered the attempt almost hopeless. After 18 month, in 1353, it appeared to be quite so to Lord Clarendon, for, at the moment of Sir C. Hotham's com plete success, the ship that took out his recall crossed on the Atlantic the one which bore home his treaty. I need not say that none was ever signed more important to British commerce, and we owe it entirely to the tact, patience, and experience among a peculiar people, die p'-a, e 1 by Cal.tain Sir C. Hotham in this negotiation. To this eminent service—which you totally ignore— he owed his appointment as Governor of Victoria. I may add that it was forced upon him and urgently de precated by him. His heart was with the fleets, then prop :ring for an inevitable war, and, speaking of them, lie sail t) me, "We shall do nothing against Russia without gun-boats and mortar-vessels." Subsequent events have proved how rightly he judged. I have no wish to enter into a controversy respecting the comparative merits of military and civil officers iu civil services, but I know that in the diplomatic and consular line military and naval rank (cateris paribus) bring with them to certain courts and countries great personal influence. Such wa3 the case with Sir C. Hotham in South America, and I am convinced a civilian would not there have succeeded. I have the honour to be, Your obedient servant, Whitehall-gardens, April 10. MALMESISUBY. * So f:u• from our ignoring it, Lord Malmesbury ignores the extract he has himself made from our article, in which we especially give Sir C. Hotham credit for this very negotia- OUDE AND ITS ANNEXATION. The Nizam of the Deccan is the last of the Mussulman Princes of India. On the 4th inst. General Outram placed the draught of a treaty before the King of Oude. The wretched Prince was true to his character to the last. His life has been one scene of wilful degradation.t He has cast away even that semblance of self-respect which the worst of his class have hitherto preserved. Eight years ago one , spark of manly pride, one display of energy, might have redeemed his kingdom and the fortunes of his house. He marriel a mehtranee instead. At the last moment, when nothing remained but a dignified submis sion, be displayed a childish arrogance, refused to sign the treaty, and threatened to appeal his "case" to the House of Commons. His obstinacy provel as unavailing as his menaces. On the 7th of February the troops halted out side Lucknow, the proclamation appeared, and Oude was included in the thin red line. We cannot repress a feeling of cordial pleasure at the reasons assigned for the irrevocable step. There is no pretext of expected hos tility or treacherous designs, or even of injury appre hended to the British power. For the first time in its history the Government of India assumes its true posi tion, stands forward as the guardian of the millions, and strikes down a throne solely because it is op pressive. It has been the high fortune of Lord Dal honsie in eight years to add four kingdoms to the British Empire. The first was annexed because its soldiery, in a moment of profound peace, forced on us the alternative of sovereignty or ruin. The second was conquered to teach a barbarous Court that our flag must be respected even in the swamps. The third pas,ed to us by the simple right which gives to the State the property of the childless. The fourth has been ab sorbed, not to avert a danger, not to avenge an insult, not by any right of inheritance, but to save the million.s who suffered from a tyranny to which that of Naplesis enlightened freedom. There are those who will think the last cause not the most unworthy of the British name. The personnel of the Administration h fav as been or receganisiveedd. Most of them will, we think , be ourably Gen. Outram, whatever his abilities for civil asiministra aes anis etometihael reputa tion tion, has at least displayed that moral courage which is to an administrator what a backbohn body. Mr. Couper, his secretary,humanuta tion which the public will speedily be able to confirm. Mr. Gubbins is the officer who put do ma infanticide at Agra by his accuracy in the collection of statistics. Mr. Ommanney, though less known, had as a young man a reputation which he has since bad little opportunity to increase. The only appointment we re gret is that of Captain Hayes. As acting Resident, he repeatedly displayed qualities fitted for duties somewhat higher than those of an aide•de-camp. A place in the commission would have given a more fitting occupation to the officer of all others most acquainted with Onde. For the rest, we need only remark that the Administra tion will contain a most unusual number of young men. General Outram and his military coadjutors are officers of long experience cr service ; but one commissioner, Mr. C:,ristian, is of only 13 years' standing ; another, Mr. Wingfield, is of only 15. The secretary is of only 10. In hands so young Oude should occupy at least as large a space in our columns as heretofore. The only difference will be that the monotony of imbecility, broken only by some astounding crime, will be exchanged for the progress we have so repeatedly chronicled in the Punjaub.— Friend of India, Feb. 14. .ad I Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the new directors, elected ou Wed- Lesd3.y last, viz., John Harvey Astell, Esq., Elliot Macnaghten, Esq., Ross Donnelly Mangles, Esq., M.P., Charles Mills, Esq , and Martin Tucker Smith, Esq., M.P., took the oath and their seats.

We began' to think that bad weather Intended to stand by the Epsom Spring Meeting with as much fidelity as it is said to have stood - by Mrs. Fliutwich's disrtal-looking old house in the City ; but, notwithstanding the very unfavourable state of the morning —clouds lowering thickly and .rain falling drearily at brief intervals—the afternoon turned out gaily and cheerfully, and diffused an atmosphere of enjoyment all around. By the time the bell rang to saddle for the City and Subur ban the Downs presented a goodly attendance of company. Licensed Vietuallers were in great force ; it is their pet meeting, and they chiefly contribute to its support. Since it first started into existence it has, year, after year, increased in vigour and strengthened In nttwtioi,.. It. has Re:l3(mm lent "features,." too;'aii the contriblitiOns ly the *inner 'of the Metropolitan Stakes to those, noble institutions, the Li censed Victuallers' School and the Licensed Victuallers' Asy lum, very satisfactorily testify. Professionals mustered strongly in the betting enclosure, and carried on their speculations with unabated energy and spirit. The sport provided was of an extraordinarily attractive character. At no other meeting in the kingdom aro so many items of interest and importance crowded into one day's pro gramme. Event followed event so closely, that the officials and the bookmakers were, from the c , mmencement of the proceedings to the close, most actively employed. From our return of the racing it will be seen that thebook makers were followed by the ill-luck which pursued them at Doncaster, Thirsk, and elsewhere. Every event, with only one exception, was won by the fa vourite. Hospitality was the only exception, but he was backed so me what spiritedly, and very few book-makers escaped " laying." The horse won the City and Suburban cleverly enough. lie was first brought prominently into the betting on this race during the recent meeting a Doncaster, but a strong current of opposition set in against him at the coin mencement'of the present week, and he gradually drifted into the outside division. Just before the start, however, he was supported by his party at prices varying from 100 to 5 to 100 to 6. The principal outlay was at the higher odds, but the correct quotation at starting was, we believe, 100 to 6. Fisherman emerged from the cloud of suspicion in which he had been involved, and was again wide the leading favourite, whilst St. Hubert receded, point by point, until at last 6 and 7to 1 were laid against him. Sir George and Boor had each numerous supporters. Hospitality won so cleverly be was inmrdiately backed for the Chester Cup at 10 to 1. St. llabert lost much ground at starti g, and never once figured prominently in the en counter. • The highly favourable opinion which had in certain well informed quarters been expressed respecting Cannobie was well founded. The horse won the Metropolitan Stakes in a canter, and was afterwards backed at 10 to 1 for The Derby. _ The business of the meeting was, as usual, most ably con ducted by the Newmarket staff of officials ; and a full mea sure of praise must be awarded to the railway authorities for the completeness of their arrhgements on the occasion.

After much marching and counter -marching the start was effected, but in a very unsatisfactory manner, St. Hubert, Spindle, Bubble, Cave Adullam, Lord Fordwich, and two or three others being far behind the front rank when the signal was given. Ellermire was first off, with her stable companion Hospi- tality in close attendance. Fisherman, Posthorse, New Brighton, Sir Rowland Trenchard, Sir George, Little Tibby, sad Winkfield lying pretty well up iu their wake, and others struggling after them. They had scarcely, however, pro ceeded 200 yards when Posthorse went to the front, Eller mire gradually easing off. On reaching the top of the hill, Fisherman sailed away with the lead, Posthorse going on second, and. Sir Rowland Trenchard third ; Ellermire, Hos pitality, LitCe Tibby, and. Winkfield running up in nearly the same order in which we have set down their names. As they approached the lower turn, Sir Rowland Trenchard and Little Tibby gave way, and Sir George became fourth, and on rounding Tattenbam Corner, Posthorse also dropped off ; Sir George at that point showed in the second place, Ellermire being. third, and Hospitality next. When they hal fairly entered the straight Hospitality joined Fisherman, and Sir George was passed by Ellermire. On nearing the distance Hospitality obtained the lead, and after a somewhat exciting set-to, won very cleverly by half a length; two lengths separating the second from the third. Wiukfield was a bad fourth, Sir George fifth, Cave Adullam sixth, Boer seventh, and Ariosto eighth. The last lot consisted of Bubble, St. Hubert, Spindle, and Moselle.

This order was maintained until they arrived half way.up the hill, after turning out of the " straight."
