TERRIBLE STREET ACCIDENT. --About half-past three o'clock on Saturday aft mr. Mee e d rn oon while a car ria g g e and pair, bel ong i ng to was down Sackville- s t reet the horses t y o4 Q i ~ fright an proceeding at a furious pace, cau s i ng the greatest con sated dashed off re rna t i on amongst the wayfarers in th e crowded thorongiaf Ireeranc flag i the bridge the furious h orses dashed up on the O e :t way and came in contact w it h the battlements 08 horses was killed, and the f ore part of the carrian: of the injured. We deeply regr e t t o say that the consequeen:useohf the accident did not stop h ere . A gentleman who happened to be passing was knocked down and fearfully injured. He uas taken away to Jervis-street Hespital, where he now lies, no hope whatever beirg entertained of his recovery. Two ladies and three children who were in the carriage at the time of the accident escaped uninjured. The eccounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week state that business generally has continued inactive. At Manchester there has been little or no change i❑ the values of both cloths and yarns. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has continued dull, while at Bill:eking ham, Set faeld, and Wolverhampton there has been no alteration of importance to record in the hard ware department. The Natal Land and Colonization Company's re port to be presented at the forthcoming meeting of the shareholders, has been issued this morning. A dividend is proposed to be paid at the rate of ss. per share, free of income-tax, after writing off 10 per cent. of the preliminary expenses, leaving a surplus of £362 to be carried to profit and loss account. The total amount of debentures issued to 31st December last is £102,300. The existence of two classes of shares having given rise to great incon venience, and with a view to reconcile conflicting interests, the directors suggest to give to the holders of the 14,000 paid-up shares the option of receiving in exchange for each such share two others of £lO each, with £5 paid, charging for the advantage of the conversion 10s. for each now share. By this means the object will be attained of equalising all the shares as to the amount paid upon them, also to the distribution of divi dends and participation in the proceeds of sales of land. The operation, when carried out, will give an actual profit to the company of £14,000, which the directors propose to divide as a bonus amongst the shareholders. The company will derive the great additional advantage of increasing their uncalled capital from its present sum of £42,500 to 1182,000. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were heavy at 69f 30c. The English Stock Market is dull and heavy, Consols having receded f t- per cent., viz., to 918 92 for money and to 92k fcr the July account.

Greek have risen to 35k1, and the Coupons to 161 1 ; and Spanish Passive are 331, 34; ditto Certificates, 111 12, being depressed ; and Turkish Consolides have declined to 501 8.

Generally speaking, the trade was in a sluggish state, yet no change took place in prices from Monday last. The dealings were in a great measure confined to Dantzic, and good and fine red and white American qualities. In floating cargoes of grain about an average business was transacted, at late rates. Notwithstanding that an increased supply of foreign barley was on offer, and that the accounts at hand this morning respecting the crop in this country were more satisfactory, the trade, although less active than on Mon day last, was tolerably firm as regards prices, and no quotable change was observed in the the value either of grinding or distilling samples, compared with this day se'nnight. There was a good demand for malt, and the quotations had an upward tendency, Witb foreign oats, the market was well supplied, and the show of home-grown qualities was seasonably good, Sales progressed slowly in all descriptions; nevertheless, good and fine corn supported last Monday's currency, whilst in ferior produce was without material change, The supply of beans was small. The demand was by no means active, yet prices ruled firm. Peas were in fair average request at full quotations. The show of samples was vary moderate. The supply of barrel flour was somewhat restricted, but was in excess of last week; and the trade ruled inactive on former terms. Other descriptions moved off slowly at late rates.

MARK LANE. The demand for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was in a sluggish state. Good and fine qualities fairly supported previous rates; otherwise, the quotations were rather drooping. Barley, oats, beans, and peas ruled firm ; and in the value of flour no alteration took place. On the Continent the trade is steady for most descriptions of produce. The leading feature in our American advices is a somewhat improved inquiry for wheat for export. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 18,149 quarters of wheat, 11,532 barley, 35,985 oats, 2,401 beans, 1,514 peas, 30 tares, 1,480 linseed, 18,258 oilseeds, 375 sun dry seeds, 70 sacks, and 8,663 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of English wheat were very mod rate, and most samples came to hand in but middling condition. Good and fine parcels, both red and white, were in fair demand, and last Monday's cur rency was steadily suppoeted. Inferior and ill-conditioned produce, however, met a dull inquiry ; nevertheless, in ni at transactions, the rates current this day se'nnight were ob tained. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-day, but its general condition was very middling. Sales, however, progressed steadily at very full prices. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning ward moderately extensive, but, com pared with many previous weeks, their quality exhibited a falling off. Good and prime stock commanded a steady in quiry at an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81b; other wise the beef trade ruled firm at full currencies.

This afternoon about three o'clock the utmost consternation and alarm were experienced by the mem bers of the select committees of the Houses of Lords and Commons sitting to consider various private and other bills, as well as the witnesses attending them, at the announcement that a fire had broken out in the build• ing and was then burning. As may naturally be supposed, a general panic ensued, and numerous members left their other duties to ascertain the truth of this announcement, of which they were soon able to satisfy themselves from the strong smell of charred wood which prevailed throughout the corridor of the building. It turned out on inquiry that a waiter belonging to the refreshment department of the House of Commons, on passing from the library to the members' tea-room, observed smoke issuing very near to the latter from the wooden roof, and imme diately afterwards the flames burst through with great fury. He immediately communicated this to police-constable Home, 12 C, who gave an alarm, and obtained the assistance of the police on duty in the other parts of the building, and he immediately set to work, applied the hose, and turned on the water with which the mains are constantly charged, and applied it with such effect that the flames were soon subdued, and no further mischief was apprehended. The corridor leading from the House of Commons to the Lords' committee rooms were flooded with water, and but for such prompt means of action there can be little doubt that the whole of the corridor, as well as those above, would soon have fallen a prey to the flames. When the flames were extinguished, Mr. Kelly, the acting man under Mr. G. Gurney, to whom the ventilation of the Houses of Parliament are entrusted, made an examination of the seat of the outbreak, when it was found that a brick flue from the kitchen passes over the wood roof of the corridor, and that by some means a brick had become displaced, and by the opening and draught the heat had communicated to the woodwork near it, and having no doubt been for some time subjected to it, had thus taken fire. It was deemed prudent to make a strict examina tion to ascertain if the fire had extended to any other portion of the space between the wooden roof and base alluded to. and the flooring of the corridor above it, and seve ral of the officers connected with the gas department were sent down the trap doors to see if there were any other parts on fire, but, after a diligent search, it was reported tkat it had been confined to the place where it originated, and no further danger was to be apprehended.

He was understood to ask the question in the hope that something more than correspondence had taken place, because, whilst the time was being con sumed in writing, plunder, massacre, and incendiarism was decimating unfortunate Poland. He sincerely desired that it could be arranged that Poland might be placed, with such arrangements as might be made by the other European Powers, under the sovereignty of a prince of the Czar's family, and that her Majesty's Government would will. ingly accept the arrangement, and consider it as a sufficient performance of the obligations which were imposed upon Russia. He believed the Poles themselves would have the good sense to accept such a proposal. Earl RUSSELL said, as despatches were shortly ex pected from the Austrian Government, in answer to com munications from the Governments of Great Britain and France, he ventured to think that it was not anvisable to make any statement in reference to the position of matters at the present moment. He agreed with the noble earl that humanity and prdicy both demanded some sort of arrange ment which would lead to cessation of hostilities, and nothing could b e more h orr ibl e t h an t h e a t ro cities the Ru4sian soldiers on the one hand, or the orders of assasination on the other, that were issued by some secret courts which load been set up by the insurgents. The proposal for an armistice was so surrounded with difficulties that he should hesitate be fore he ventured even a hope that such an arrangement was possible. It was not the business of the British Govern' ment to erect a kingdom of Poland on its old basis, but to do what we could to effect the general peace of Europe. He did not consider that armed intervention would be ad visable ; no good could possibly come of it. (LEFT SPEAKING.) POLAND. Mr.HENNESSY gave notice that on the motion for going into committee of supply on Monday next he should move an address to the Crown,thanking her Majesty for the corre spondence laid before the house with respect to the affairs of Poland, expressing the regret of the house that the Em peror of Russia had openly violated the treaty of Vienna by setting himself up as the sovereign of Poland in opposi tion to the terms of that treaty, and expressing a desire that her Majesty, in conjunction with the other g►eat Powers, would address a remons ranee to the Emparor of Russia, with the view of promoting the independence of Poland, and consequently a durable peace. (Hear, hear.) THE SLAVE TRADE Mr. CONINGHAM gave notice that on Thursday he should call attention to the slave trade in America. THE POLICE IN TIPPERARY—THE LATE AGRARIAN MURDER. Mr. BAGWELL asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what steps the Government of Ireland meant to take in re gard to the extra pr li e force at present quartered in the townlands of Boytonrath and others in the county of Tippe rary ? Sir R. PEEL replied that looking at the present condi tion of Tipperary, and the recent occurrence of another murder, it was not deemed expedient• to withdraw the police referred to. Mr. BAGWELL asked if the right hon. baronet had received any later particulars with respect to the outrage referred to ? Mr. F. PEEL intimated that the murder was clearly of an agrarian character. The gentleman was not in his garden immediately on leaving his residence. A telegram just received informed him that three men were in custody on suspicion. Mr. SCULLY said that the murder was committed 30 miles distant from the police stations adverted to. TELEGRAPHS (INDIA). Mr. WHITE asked the Secretary of State for India, if the reorganization of the Indian Telegraph Department, mentioned by him on the 13th March, 1862, had been carried out ; and, if so, why Mr. Oalbraith (formerly the tutor of Sir William O'Shaughnessy's eons) had been promoted over the heads of officers of long standing in that department : and, if he was aware that the present system of telegraphic communication in India was much complained of by the mercantile community and others, and if it would not be desirable to decentralise this department by placing the telegraph lines under the control of the chief authorities of the respective Presiden cies, as had been locally recommended, Mr. BARING explained that the Government were still directing their attention to the matter. Mr. Gilbraith had not been improperly promoted. THE DOVER AND CALAIS SERVICE. Sir S. NORTHUOTE asked the Secretary to the Trea sury, when the packet estimate be brought forward ; whe ther any contracts had yet been made for the Dover and Ostend and Dover and Calais services; or whether thoso services were still open to tender; and, what arrangements had been made for carrying on the services after the 20th _ Mr. F. PEEL replied that he should bring on these estimates after those for the ( ivil service. The tender of the Belgian Government had been accepted up to the 2d of June. A. tender offered by the South-Eastern and London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, at the rate of £6,000 a year after the 2d of June, THE NAVY-EDUCATION OF BOYS. Sir J. PABINGTON asked the Secretary to the Ad • miralty, whether the ,Chief Constructor of the Navy had examined apprentices and factory boys in Wool wich Dockyard, with a view to the establishment of a Government School of Naval Architecture was correct; and, if so, whether the Admiralty contem plated the revival of a school of naval architecture for the royal navy, in preference to the combined action of the Admiralty and the private trade, which had been proposEd? Lord C. PAGET replied that Mr. Reed, recently appointed chief constructor of the Navy, had been sent to the various dockyards to direct the construction of ships, and not in connection with a new scheme for the education of boys. That a project was then under the consideration of the Admiralty for educating boys not only connected with the Navy, but with private trade. THE DISMISSAL OF VOLUNTEERS, • Sir R. CLIFTON asked the Under Secretary of State for War if comman ing officers had power, after the dismissal of volunteers by them, to advertise such dismissal in the newspapers, and cause placards to be printed and circulated ; and if he was aware whether any such case of advertising and placarding had taken place in the metropolis? The Marquis of HARTINGTON replied that the usual practice was to announce the nature of every sentence in the regimental quarters, so that the members of the corps might see it. He believed it was the practice of some corps to advertise their orders by printed placard and in the newspapers. Ho need not then descant upon the impro priety of such a proceeding, when it related to the censur ing or dismissal of an officer or private of these corps. PUBLIC WORKS BILL. _ . Mr. HENNESSlTcor;)plainedZatie had been debarred on Saturday morning by the edict of the Speaker from ex pressing his op nions on the measure. It would materially affect his constituents in King's County, and he desired to have addressed the house on the subject. The SPEAKER explained the course of procedure adopted. The hon. gentleman spoke three times on the subject, and he (the Speaker) thought at the time that he himself was out of order in permitting him to de so. It appeared to him that the hon. gentleman was out of order on Saturday morning. Hence he called him to order. ROYAL BOTANICAL GARDENS, EDINBURGH. Mr. GREGORY, on the motion for g ding into Commit tee of Supply on Civil Service Estimates, Class IV., moved " that, in the opinion of this house, the Royal Bo tanical Gardens of Edinburgh should be open to the public atter the hours of Divine Service on Sundays, as is the case of other botanial gardens supported by Parliamentary grants." Sir J. SHELLEY seconded the motion. The LORD-ADVOCATE opposed it on the ground that the gardens, 18 acres in exteat, were laid out for purely scientific purposes, and that the gardens being two miles distant from the abodes of the workpeople, and situated in a valley, and would not be of such great value for the purposes of recreation as other and more ad jacent spots readily accessible, such as Arthur's Seat and other places--the feeling of the community was clearly against the opening of these gardens on the Sabbath. Mr. STIRLING strongly supported the motion. [LEFT SITTING.] SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.- --This Day, TATTERSALL'S-THIS EVENING. Nothing doing. CITY BETTING-THIS DAY.

The June Session of the Central Criminal Court com menced this day betore the Lord Mayor, Recorder, and other city officials. The calender contains the names of 105 prisoners for trial, amongst which there is one charge of murder, one for administering poisor, , three for arson, nine for burglary, 11 for uttering counterfeit coin, nine for forgery, and two for manslaughter. The Recorder, in charging the jury, said the number of prisoners for trial was no more numerous than usual ; but the calender contained some charges of a very serious de scription. There was an indictment for murder against a prisoner, named Ledbitter, but the material question would be the state of mind of the prisoner, with which they had nothing to do. With respect to the charge against a pri soner named Webb, who was indicted for killing his wife, there was one very important point in the evidence they would have to consider, that was the evidence of the medical gen tleman, which was in effect that he could not tell whether the death of the woman was occasioned by a fall or a blow. Witt:l respect to the charge against Frances Paxton, who stood charged with feloniously administering to one Eliza beth Roberts a quantity of a certain deadly poison—viz., oil of vitriol—with intent to murder her, the prisoner had stated that she had been induced to commit the offence by the advice of her husband ; but it was only fair to that person to state that there was nothing in the evidence to justify the assertion. There were five or six indictments against a prisoner named Wade for assaulting a number of women. The learned judge having stated the main facts of the case to the jury—which have already been reported during the examination of the prisoner at Bow-street Ponca- court-- said they had better return true bills in all the cases. The grand jury then retired to their room. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Robert Bishop was indicted for feloniously uttering coun. ,erfeit coin. The case was clearly proved against the prisoner, as was also a previous conviction for the same offence. The learned judge sentenced him to four years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE —This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ALLEGED HOCIISSING AND ROBBING AN ITALIAN. Sarah Melvin, a young woman, described as a prostitute, living at 4, Upper Grafton-street, Fitzroy -square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch and chain and a £5 Bank of England note, the property of an Italian valet, named Daniel Domenigue, living at 39, Inverness-terrace, and John Pullins, a tailor, living in the same house,was charged with being concerned in the robbery. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street ; ap peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Fisher for the defence. Mr. Albert interpreted the evidence of the prosecutor, an Italian. Mr. Lewis said he was instructed to prosecute the pri soners, who were charge with robbing a foreigner, and, he believed, it would turn out that they had drugged him. The prosecutor had been to a place of amusement on Fri day evening, and went to the house in Upper Grafton street, and there a female suggested that some wine should be sent for, and some champagne was brought, and the pro secutor took out his purse to pay for it; and after taking out his purse to do so, and having a glass or two of the champagne, did not know what more occurred till Saturday evening, when he left the house in a state of nudity, his clothes being taken away as well as his property, in all of the value of £l9. Hs then consulted Sergeant Lambert, who went to the house and found the prosecutor's clothes under the safe, and succeeded in getting the prosecutor's watch and chain. In a cupboard in the room Sergeant Lambert also found a small bottle, which there was reason to believe had contained the drug with which prosecutor had been hocussed. Prosecutor said—On Friday night last I went to the London Pavilion with a male friend, and after leaving there at one in the morning, went to No, 4, Upper Graf ton-street. The female prisoner was upstairs with another female. On going into the house I had three £5 Bank notes, 5 sovereigns and some silver. A little time after some wine was brought, champagne. After I drank some it made me ill. I had pains in the stomach, and my head had great pain in it. I remained in the house till the evening. All the while I was in the house I was very ill, having been before in good health. I left the house with out my clothes. Whilst I was in the room the male pri soner came in. He brought the wine in. I afterwards at the police-station saw. my purse. One £5 note and the sovereigns were gone. Mr. Fisher having cross-examined the prisoner at some length, Charles Marham, 70 E. said—l was told that a foreigner had been turned out of a house. He was taken into a public-house by the landlord, as he had only a flannel shirt and trowsers. I then got a cab and took him to the sta tion. He seemed as if palsied. He was sober. Sergeant Lambert, 12 E, said— On Saturday evening I went to No. 4, Upper Grafton-street, and saw the prisoner, and told him I was a police-sergeant, and that I had come to make inquiries about a foreigner. Prisoner said, " There has been a foreigner here, but he was mad, and I was obliged to turn him out of the house." On asking him how he came to the house, he said he supposed that he came with two girls in the course of the night. On telling him that he had lost his clothes, a watch and chain, and some notes and gold. he said, " It's a lie—he has not been robbed. His clothes are up stairs, and I believe the girl who came in with him has his watch." On speaking of two £5 notes, he said, "he has not been robbed of two. I have one which was given to me by the girl, and I intend to keep it." On asking what for, he said, "For my trouble and the doctor" (it appears that a doctor was called in to the prosecutor by the prisoners). On afterwards seeing the female prisoner and speaking about the prosecutor's gold watch and chain, she said, " Yes, I have them, and I'm —if I don't keep them. Before the foreign -- shall have it, I shall smash it." On speaking about the £5 note, she said, "she had given it to her landlord to pay for the doctor and his trouble." On going upstairs I found prosecutor's clothes, and the prisoners said they would see me before they would give up the watch and chain and note. I then got assistance and took them to the station, but not without some resistance at first. At the station the prisoners refused to give up the watch and note, and I had to take them by force from them. but By lk ca lr n . n L ot e w st i a s t — e P w r h o a s t ec fr u o t m or . w p as o i c 'u to a r s sa ta i t of d e he inhasdensniobtility, the slightest doubt the prisoner had been drugged. The prisoners were then re manded for t h e medicalevi dence;the man. Mr. Tyrwhitt stating t hat he would take two hail for THAMES. A VERY Deseenousthe s FRE hip CopenhaAX..—Joseph en il , W Burns, lyingaged 62 tthe y Saunders. in West India D ock was brought before Mr. oolrycb, a s eaman, belonging to g mc h ar ged with setti n g fire to the bed-clothes in a h ouse, No. 5, Gun - lane , Limehouse, and assaulting E It appeared that the prisoner was, in nautic a l language, half seas over and fell in with the complainant, who took him to her lodgings in Gun-lane. She asked him for money, and the sailor said he had none, on which he was i n f orm ed that he must leav e the place directly. He re fused to do so, and a quarrel took place complainant, in the cours e of thew hi cl between . him and the prisoner made a clean sweep of the images, ornaments, and shelf. He smashed up every thinf glasses on the mantel that came in his way Plates, dishes, ch a i rs, and tables fell f a sacrifice to his rage, and when the complainant endeavoured to save her pro perty the prison er k noc k e d her down, lighted candle and se t fire to the bed ando clothes, and took up a a dress lying on the top o f th e b e d. The clothes we in a blaze, th e woman rus h e d i n t o th e street re and immediately screamed aloud for help—the cues of " Fire, fire," resounded from one end of the lane to the other end. A police-constable named Marshall, No. 511, rushed into the house and ex tinguished the fire. ,The room was damaged, and the bed clothes and a valuable dress consumed. The prisoner was taken into custody, and on his way to the station-house he made violent resistance and capsized seven or eight persons. He was very much intoxicated, and but for tho prompt in. terference of the constable and the neighbours, would have burnt down the house. Mr. Woolrych asked the complainant if she were sure the prisoner set the bed-clothes on fire for the purpose The complainant—Y es , sir ;he took up the lighted candle and put it to the b e d-clothe! and my dress. O t h er w itnesses were examined, who said the room ill which the fire to ok p lace Neas in a state of great confusion, the whole of th e small articles destroyed and the furniture broken. The sailor who treated the charge with great levity, said he was intoxicated. Mr. Woolrych—l shall commit you for trial on two charges for arson and for the assault. A reinforcement of 10,000 is ordered to proceed to mexioo. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE W. P. WAITGJI. To-day was appointed for hearing a petition by Colonel Waugh for leave to surrender under his bankruptcy, which. took place in April, 1857, and the bankrupt was proclaimed in January, 1858, for not surrendering, and he kept out of the country until a short time since, when he was arrested, and is now detained at the suit of the London and Eastern. Banking Company for a sum of £50,000. Mr. Roxburgh appeared for the bankrupt, Mr. Linklater for the assignees, and Mr. C. E. Lewis on behalf of the offi cial manager of the London and Eastern Bank to oppose. The proceedings were now commenced by reciting the petition and affidavits. The petition has already been pub lished, and the first question which now arose was whether it was sufficient to support. The case did not commence till nearly one o'clock, and was proceeding, and likely to last a long time. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. -~►---- OLD COURT. 13.14. 3.4.0 kg. 18. 41 12.10 6 7 521 I 49 k
