Evidence having been given of the deceased being under medical treatment at the time she committed the act, and that her mind was greatly depretsed from her sister and mother having become inmates of a lunatic asy lum, the jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased de stroyed herself in a fit of temporary insanity," .aamolg THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1863. The Abduction and Murder in Islington. CLERKENWELL POLICE COURT. The further hearing of the evidence against the prisoner, William Henry Clarke, who stands charged with the wilful murder of the child Elizabeth Hunter, was proceeded with today before Mr. Barker. Mr Dickie defended the prisoner ; and Mr. Humphrey attended for Mr. Rowe, one of the witnesses in the case, in whose nursery the bones of the unfortunate child was found. Mr. Barker said Mr. Rowe was there merely as a witness. Inspector Williamson—We intend to put that person in the box again, as he can now speak to an important fact. Mr. Rowe than said—Since I was here last, from an entry I have found in a day-book in my own handwriting I can state positively that it was the night of the 30th of March, 1862, that the prisoner was out of my house all night. Mr. Barker—You mean that he did not sleep in the house all night ? Mr. Rowe—That is so. Mr. Dickie— You produce the book ? Witness—Yes. The book was then put in, and from certain entries for purch,sing plants, he said he was quite certain the prisoner was not at home that night. By Mr. Vickie —I never said to the prisoner's mother I could not rcc:Alect the circumstance. Mr. Barker—Do you recollect speaking to the prisoner about his being absent ? Witness— yes, I told him I should not be able to keep him in my employ. I went to bed about ten o'clock at night. I told him when he went out that particular day, that if he was not at home by ten at night he would be locked out. I heard his voice in the passage about twelve o'cl ck the same night, but I do not know what was said. Miss Jennings will be able to speak about that. Mr. D.ckie asked Mr. Rowe whether, when he resided at Truro, he did not go by another name than Rowe. The witness said that was so, but he declined to state anything further than that there was an accusation against him, bur, that it was oismissed, and the party making it was thought gu ity of p , rjury. Charlotte Jennings, of 5, Oxford-street, Islington, said — I recollect on a Sunday night in March, 1862, Mr. Rowe ordered the prisoner to be in at ten o'cicck at night. He did not return as ordered, but came about half-past eleven, and then Mr. Rowe had lock d him out. I let him into the passage, and on going to Mr. Rowe's bed room-door he felt the handle, and said, " He's locked me out, so I must go." I locked the street door when he left. On that night he wore a very dark brown coat, with pockets each side, black and white speckled trowsers, with a black stripe up the leg, and a turban, or po , ll- pie hat, with two black strings. The prisoner left .Mr. Rowe's ser • vice two or three Sundays after that. Ile west away the Saturday previous to Easter Sunday. When I spoke to him the morning after I had locked him out he said, " I slept all night in the green-house as it was too late to go home to my mo hers." Mr. Rowe had been ill for some time, and the rea*on I know he was at home was that he Never went out for fear of the night air. By Mr. Dickie—l recollect the clothes partly because I was asked how I liked them when he had them new. Prisoner—hid you not eee the hat with the strings off? Witness—No. I will swear I never saw you wear the hat without the black strings. . _ Inspector Williamson said that is all the evidence I have to offer to day, and I therefore ask for another remand. Mr. Dickie—l think the police have had plenty of time to complete this case against the,prisoner, and I object to such a course. Mrs. Clarke, the mother of the prisoner, said I recollect seeing my son on Sunday night, in March. He left about a quarter before 11, and returned a,short time after, and said Mr. Rowe had ',eked him out. I made up a bed for him, and he passed the night at home. I never noticed anything about his clothes. Mr. Dickie—You swear to that P Witness-7I do. Mr. Barker—Did you not etate to the constable that you did not recollect the month when tuis took place ? Witness—[he date, out not the month. John Mason gave evidence relative to Mr, Itowe's garden gate being left continually open. Mr. Dickie again said he did not think there was suffi - cient evidence to remand the lad. Mr. Barker replied he should not be justified in taking any other course than remanding the prisoner until to morrow week at 2 o'clock, and in such a case as the present, it. was most important that soma legal gentleman should attend and conduct the prosecution, especially as Govern ment had offered a reward of £lOO for the discovery of the murderer of the child. Mr. Dickie—Will your worship take bail? Mr. Barker—Oh no, certainly not. Prisoner—l don't get justice. I thought being a poor lad I should, but I don't. I've been locket] up for a long while, and for nothing. I say there is no evidence against me, and I ought to be let go, or else you ought to take bail for me. Mr. Barker—That is a matter of opinion. Pr soner—There is no evidence against me. I don't get the juvice I ought to have, but I'm a poor lad. The prisoner was then remanded. The crowd arsProbled outside the police-ccurt was very great and the excitement intense. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. M ARLBOROUGH• STREE r. WIFE BEATING.—COMMITTAL WITHOUT A FINE. John Regan, ot 31, Little Windmill-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant with assaulting his wife, Mary Regan. The wile said that on the previous morn ing her husband came h , ,me from the publichouse where he had been almost stripped of his clothes. He took away all his and the children's clothes, and sold them, and then beat her op the head with a poker. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said her husband had been drinking since Monday, Mr. Howard, the landlord of the house, said the prisoner broke down a cupboard door, some of the banisters, and tore his trousers while he was assisting the police, Prisoner said his wife irritated him so much that he feared he should be hanged for her. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked whether the prisoner worked at all, and was told by the wife that she kept the home, and paid the rent, and she was willing to work for herself and chil dren, but would not work to keep her husband in idleness. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for a month, and ordered him to find one Buret) for a month afterwards. SUNDAY TRADING.—CAUTION TO LICENSED VIC TUALLERS.—Mr. James Harrison, of the Sun, Noel-street, W ardour- street, attended befere Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer the complaint of In4ector Bowles, of the C division, ot serving during the. prohibited how s on Sunday. From the evidence of Binsted Webb, 112 C, it appeared that at half-past ten on the morning of Sunday week he knocked at the side door of defendant's house, and was admitted by the defendant, He called for a pint of " cooper," with which he was served by the defendant, who received the money for it; and while in the house two persons came in and had a quartern of gin each , w hich they paid for and took away with them, and some others were also served, Defendant admitted that all the constable said was true, but said that it was the first time he had been summoned, and that he had not long been from the country. Mr. Bowles said there bud been no conviction during the time the defendant bad kept the house, but he had reason to believe that Sunday trading had been going on for some time, and in consequence a plain clothes officer was obliged to be employed. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 20s. and costs. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. CommiPsioner Holroyd.) IN RE BALDRY. This bankrupt was alcuitererr:iNorwich, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge Mr..R Griffith opposed, on behalf of creditors, on the ground that the bankrupt had incurred debts shortly before his bankruptcy and when in a state of insolvency, as he had offered a composition of 4s. in the pound, which the credi tors refused to accept, as they believed that the bankrupt was not acting fairly. It was now alleged that he had fraudulently made away with or concealed a gold watch and chain, and he had only got £5 Bs. for his furniture, and he now owed £498 without anything for a dividend, The bankrupt swore that he bartered away his watch for funds twelve months ago—the chain he had with him. Mr. Griffiths—Why did you not give it up to your assignee Bankrupt Because he said it was not worth anything. Mr. Sargood—Not worth anything!—it is gold, is not ? B ankrupt— Some people call it so : I call it brass. ,Laughter.) The article appe , red massive and valuable. Mr. Gr fd h said it was only a " duplicate" of the gold chain, rnd asked for a further adjournment to make inquiries, as the creditors believed some property was con cealed. Mr. Brough supported. His Honour saw no occasion to doubt the bankrupt, and if he had concealed property he would be worse off atter his passing his iximination than before. As to the con tracting the debts, the bankrupt had kept up raying the creditors with whom he dealt up to his bankruptcy ; he had come before the Court himself, but the creditors might have wade him bankrupt if they had thought fit. Bankrupt passed and obtained his discharge. MARKETS—This Day. Death of the Duke of Hamilton By a telegraphic despatch received from Paris we [earn that his Grace the Duke of Hamilton died at the Hotel Bristol, in that city, at noon yester d ay. His grace bad left England for Paris, en route for Baden, and was suddenly taken ill at the hotel men tioned, the disease being congestion of the brain. His grace's family were sent for, and the Emprers of the French paid the husband of the Emperor's cousin assiduous attention till his death. So sudden and premature a death will excite profound emo tions of regret both in Great Britain and in France, his grace having been as well known in the latter country as iu his own. The deceased nuke, William Anthony Archibild Douglas Hamilton, was born on the 18 , 11 February, 1811. He was the only son of Alexander, tenth Duke of Thmilton, K.G., F.R.S., by Susan Eu phemia, oaug h ter of Mr. \Vm.Beckford, of Fonthill, M.P. He married on 234 of February, 1843, the Princess Marie Amelie of Bader:, youngest daughter of Charles Louis Frederic, reigning Grand Duke of Baden, by the Countess de Beau- harnait—the adopted daughter of the Emperor Napoleon and niece of the Empress Josephine—by whom he leaves issue two sons and a daughter, the eldest son and heir, William .Alexander Louis Stephen, Marquis of Douglas, having been born on he 12th of March, 1845. In his own person the late Duke of Hamilton combined the dukedoms of Hamilton and Brandon, besides independent marquisates and earldoms con erred at different times. He was Earl of Angus 1327), Lord Hamilton (1445), Earl of Arran (1503) . , Marquis of Hamilton (1599), Marquis of Douglas, Lord Abernethy, and Lord Jed burgh Forest (1633), Earl of Lanark, Lord Avon, Lord Polmont, Lord Machanshire, and Lord Innerdale, (1643), all in the peerage of Scotland, Duke of Brandon, in Suffolk, and Baron Dutton of Dutton, in Cheshi►e (1711). He was the Premier Peer of Scotland, Lord-Lieutenant of Lanarkshire, Hereditary Keeper of Holyrood Palace, Colonel of the Lanarkshire Militia, and Knight Marischal of Scotland. The owner of such priecely seats as Hamilton in La narkshire, Kinniel in Linlithgow3hire, Brodiek in the Idle of Arran, Ashton in Lancashire, and Easton in Suffolk, could not be other than a foremost man i❑ a social and political point of view. The Duke of Hamilton's father was a Whig of the old school, and probably one of the haughtiest men of his day. He cherished an idea that he was the legitimate King of Scotland, penurious and miserly as he was ; and at his death, in 1852, his body was embalmed and deposited in a sarcophagus brought from the pyramids of Egypt. Die late duke graduated at Christ Church, Oxford, in 1832. He never sat in the Lower House of Parliament, and, vt hen a member of the Upper House never took any part in the debates, if in aced he ever voted at all. From his foreign connection he preferred to re side almost entirely abroad, and except for a month during the shooting season, at Brodick Castle, he lived chiefly at Paris and at Bader. He was a Con servative in his views; and in Lanarkshire his tenantry were always urged to support the Conser vative interest, but personally his Grace never took the smallest interest in the politics of either Eng land or Scotland. Through his wife's connection with the Emperor Napoleon he was always a wel come guest at the Tuileries; and, though a Protes tant, he caused much joy among the supporters of the Pope's temporal power a few years ago, by de voutly kissing the Holy Father's foot, and at the same time placing on it a purse containing notes of the value of several thousand pounds. The history of this illustrious family is curious from its various ramifications. There was a Sir William de Hameldon, a younger son of Robert de Belloreent, third Earl of Leicester; and hie son, Gilbert, for praising the valour of Robert Bruce, received a blow from John de Spencer, which he returned, whereupon he bad to fly for his life, and hid himself and his servant in a wood in the disguise of labourers. When the pursuers came up to them the two were sawing an oak; Hamilton said " Through," and dashed across the forest, and his descendants have always since taken an oak tree with a saw in it as their crest, and the word " Through" for their motto. The eldest son of Sir Gilbert Hamilton swore fealty to Edward I. in 1292. The second earl was regent of Scotland on the death of James V. (1542), and heir presumptive to the crown ; and in 1549 he was created Duke of Chatel herault, in Poitou—a title which, by-the-by, was borne by his descendants, the dukes of Hamilton, until the last few years, when a Chancery suit decided that it belonged of right to the Marquis of Abercorn. The fourth earl was created Marquis of Hamilton, and his son Earl of Cambridge and Baron loverdale. In 1633 the son of the latter was created Mar,uis of Clydesdale, and ten years afterwards Duke of Hamilton. The first duke was beheaded in 1649, and the second found himself left penniless, his estate being forfeited, and his title passed to Lady Anne Hamilton, his niece, who married the eldest son of the Marquis of Douglas, and obtained for him the Dukedom of Hamilton, and for his second son the Earldom of Selkirk, In 1711 the English Dukedom of Brandon and Barony of Dutton were conferred on the Duke of Hamilton ; but it was decided by the House of Lords that by the 23d Article of the Union no peer of Scotland could be created a peer of England. The sixth Duke of Hamilton married one of the beautiful Misses Gunning, whom Horace Walpole so repeatedly mentions in his letters, and his son succeeded to the Marquisate of Douglas and the Earldom of Angus, in 1761, by the death of the Duke of Douglas, not without a struggle. Tne " great Douglas case" was the most exciting affair in England, and indeed in Europe, for many years. Dr. Johnson vehemently espoused one side; Boswell was the advocate on the other. The " princely Douglases," as Swift called them, had been long at the head of a baronial family in Lanark shire. There was " the good Sir James," " the flower of chivalry," and the friend of Bruce, who was slain on his pilgrimage to the Holy Sepulchre, whittler he had travelled to deposit IBruce's heart. The Earldom of Douglas was conferred in 1350. The fourth earl was created Duke of Touraine by Charles VII. King of France. The first earl rebelled against his sovereign and died, a pensioned monk, in the Abbey of Lindores, when his title passed to the son of William, first Earl of Douglas, by the Countess of Angus, The fifth Earl of Angus was the famous " Archibald Bell-the-Cat," the hero of a well-known story. He was the " great earl." The sixth earl married the Princess Margaret, widow of James IV., King of Scotland, and by her had a daughter, who was mother of Henry Darnley, King Consort of Scotland, and father of James I. of Eng land. The eldest son (by the secisnd marriage) of the eleventh earl, w ho was created M arquis of Douglas in 1633, married the Duchess of Hamilton. The third marquis, who was in 1703 created Duke of Douglas, was the hero of the " great Douglas case," in so far as he left his sister, Lady Jane, the heiress of his vast estates, to starve in his lifetime, and to die in a garret, leaving a son by her husband. (Colonel Sir John Stewart, of Grandtully), whom he on his death bed declared his next male heir, Boswell was for Young Douglas, and be was successful in the Hoa of Lords against the Duke of Ham ilton, who of ob rained the Marquieate of Dougla s and Earldom Angus by his death, but not the estates. in brought In 1782 the eighth Duke of Hamilton a ga se of Lords forward his claim to a seat in the as the Duke of Brandon, and summoned to the house by that vve title. r ecord this day, The late duke, whose deathed heir, born in 1845, he waTian that Sear leaves issue, besides the son e daughter—L'Ay Mary born in May, 1847, aduke was for a short time at a sou—Lord Charles Ge:criga Archibald Hamilton— 's parents, has mostly spent Lis Eton, but, like his Victoria. life a broad.

The party (habited in suitable garments) remained underground from ono o'clock until nearly five, traversing the old Lot:Jon Bridge and Fleet sewers. On ascending again to the surface the visitors ex pressed themselves well satisfied with thei:' underground excursion. GARRAWAY'S ON SUNDAY,—And here is Garra- Nve)'s, bolted end shuttered hard and fast! It is possible to imagine the man who cuts the sandwiches on his back in a hayfield ; it is possible to imagine his desk, like the desk of a clerk at church, without him ; but imagina tion is unable to pursue the men who wait at Garraway's all the week for the men who never come. When they are forcibly put out of Garraway's on Saturday night— which they must be, for they never would go out of their own accord—where do they vanish until Monday morning? On the fist Sunday that I ever strayed here, I expected to find them hovering about these lanes, like restless ghosts, and trying to peep into Garraway's through chinks it the shutters, if not en deavouring to turn the lock of the door with talse keys, picks, and screwdrivers. But the wonder is, that they go clean away. And now I think of it, the wonder is, that every wet king-day pervader of these scenes goes clean away. The man who sells the dogs' collars and the little toy coal scuttles, feels under as great an obligation to go afar off, as Glyn and Co., or Smith, Payne, and Smith. There is an old monastery. crypt under Garraway's (I have been in it among the port wine), and perhaps Garraway's taking pity on the mouldy men who wait in its public room all their lives, gives them cool house-room down there over Sundays ; but the catacombs of Paris would not be large enough to hold the rest of the missing. This characteristic of London City greatly helps its being the quaint place it is in the weekly pause of business, and greatly helps my Sunday sensation in it of being the Last Man. In my solitude, the ticket-porters being all gone with the rest, I venture to breathe to the quiet bricks and stones my con fidential wonderment why a ticket-porter, who never does any work with his hands, is bound to wear a white apron, and why a great ecclesiastical dignitary, who never does any work with his hands either, is equally bound to wear a black one.—Charles Dickens in " All the Year Round." CRICKET.—We are informed that a club has been founded at Paris by lovers of this fine game, and that a piece of ground has been graciously granted for practice by the Prefect of the Seine, in the Bois de Bou logne, near the gate of Madrid.

W ~...~.r~ WESTMINSTER. BRUTALITY TO WIVES --Jeremiah Connolly, a coster monger, was charged with violently assaulting his wife. Complainant had a severe laceration on the top of her nose, and had previously complained of her husband's mis conduct. Complainant said "My husband, who stands there often ill-uses me. He began ill-treating me on Saturday, and has been at it ever since. He knocked me down and kicked me and pulled me along by the hair of the head — chat was on Monday morning between the hours of eight and nine, and I am afraid of him." Mr. Arnold—When did he ill-use you last? C( mplainant—Last night atter I had been out to a hard day's work to which I bad to walk eight miles. When 1 came back I fetched my baby from where it had been minded, and took it home and put it in bed, and then ray husband came in and beat me. Air. Arnold—Were you up or in bed when he beat you? Complainant—l was lying down with the baby. I was very tired. Mr. Arnold—Were you asleep ? Complainant—No, I watt awake when he came in and struck me. I don't want to hurt him, but I want him bound to keep tho peace towards me. Defendant—There was a man told me something wrong about her, and I want him to prove his words. He said she had been with another man. Mr. Arnold—What do you say to the assault? Defendant—lt was near the door where I hit her, not on the bed. Why does she keep with bad company that I warn her against ? Mr. Arnola—That has nothing to do with the charge. Defendant—But that's the reason of it. Mr. Arnold—There is no reason for your ill-treating her. If she has even done all the wrong you can possibly sus pect, she is not to be knocked about like a dog. It she has committed any wrong you have your remedy, but you are not to beat her about because you think she has offended. I must protect her. Defendant entered into bail to keep the peace for six months. THE UNITED STATES MAIL.—The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Steamship Company's screw steal:l4,r City of New York, Capt.

Besides the mails, gihe took out a futi cargo, and did 80 cabin passengers. .~ P LITERATURE, Vicissitudes of a Gentlewoman. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This is a pleasant, homely tale, naturally and pleasantly told. It has no sensation effects, neither does it excite a very breathless interest. Yet the fluctuating fortunes of Janet Tudor will be followed eagerly by many sympathetic readers, who will re joice in the ultimate reward of her patient and endur ing perseverance. The first volume, which relates the youthful history of the heroine and her brothers, is perhLps the best of the three. The vai ions charac ters introduced, and the various little home-scenes described, are wonderfully natural. There are g limpses, here and there, of a dried sort of resem olAnceto the cony c h apters o f t h e " Mi ll on t h e Floss. ,, Perhaps some remembrance of that story unconsciously lingered in the recollection of the authoress. The stories are essentially dissimilar, hut tl .- .c reP.Ccrs of the first work will not f a il to re cognise, on a perusal of the second, the peculiarities we have alluded to, but which we shall not enume rate. JAnet Tudor, the heroine, is surrounded by very uncongenial relatives. Her mother is dead. Her father, Fulk Tudor, is a clever, weak man, who idles away his time, and brings ruin on all .onneeted with him. Janet's favourite brother, Tom, is of much the same character, and her other bro ther, Harry, is more industrious but :ess steady in his principles. Her mother's family are wealthy and parsimoaious, and highly censorious of the ill-doings of the Tudors, Toe old servant, Grace, is Janet's true friend throughout. Tier homely and affectionate tyranny is naturally described, but we are inclined to think her economy some what exaggerated when she proposes to bestow upon the children, by way of precaution, and to prevent them being wasted, the contents of some old medicine bottles, cough mixtures and lotions intermingled indiecriminately I We hardly think her "making the most of things" would have quite extended to such a point. However, Grace is a very worthy old lady, and equally worthy are her relatives, the warm-hearted, hospitable farmer Harris and his wife. Under their humble roof poor Janet finds a shelter more congenial than the condescendingly bestowed charity of Aunt Wood and Uncle Jere miah Higgins. "Jeremiah, on the pinnacle of wealth, looked down into the valley where dwelt those he paid," and Aunt Wood is even more impe rious. Very different are the characters of Mr. Bateman and his son Andrew, Janet's favoured lover. Janet has many lovers, but there is singularly little love-making in her history a quiet history, marked by many vicissitudes in her outward for tunes : but in her inward feelings characterised throughout by steady principle and abiding virtue. Mistress and Mod, By the Author of " John Halifax." One vol. Hurst and Blackett. The new volume of Messrs. Hurst and Blackett's " Standard Library" contains the very charming story of " Mistress and Maid." by the popular author of " John Halifax." Like the majority of Miss Aluloch's very interesting works, this is essen tially a domestic story. The interest is centred upon a little group of individuals, but for that very reason the interest is not diminished but rather augmented. Hilary Leaf and Elizabeth Hand are the mistress and maid of the narrative. Hilary is the youngest of three very dissimilar sisters. Joanna, the eldest, who has filled a mother's place to Hilary, is gentle and serene, and subdued by many sufferings. Selina, the second, is capricious and fretful—the jarring chord in the household harmony. Hilary, the youngest, is worthy of a closer acquaintance; and we must refer the curious to Miss Muloch's interesting pages for correct por traits of this very loveable " Mistress" and her devoted and true-hearted "Maid." Ms Grade Lesson Books, in Six Standards. By E. T. Stevens, associate of Bing's College; and Charles Hole, Head Master of Loughborough Collegiate School, The Messrs. Loogman are always famous for their school-hooks. They have now brought out a very admirable series of elementary works, especially adapted to meet the requirements of the " revised code." These books are divided into six standards, and each embraces not only lessons in Reading and spelling, but also in writing, arithmetic, and dicta tion. The lessons of Number I. are easy and simp'e and each successive volume graduary advances ac cording to the advancing requirements of the pupil. Whether for school classes, or for home inEtruction, these grade lesson books are likely to become favourites with both teachers and pupils. ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL. A general court of the governors of this hospital was held yesterday afternoon, at the London• bridge Railway Terminus Hotel, Alderman Sir John Mus grove in the chair, for the purpose of considering and determining on a site for the new hospital building. The minutes of the Grand Committee, held on June 23 last, containing, amongst others, the report of the conference between the deputation from this hospital and Bethlehem Hospital, pursuant to the resolution of a previous general court, and the com munications which had taken place with the Metro politan Board of Works relative to the site at Stan gate, were read and confirmed. The minutes which s uggested subsequent committee meetings relative to the question of site, the substance of which has been already published, were also read and con firmed. The report of the Grand Committee of July 14, which recommended that power should be given to them to purchase either the Stangate site for £lOO,OOO, or &thethem Hospital, as they in their discretion should decide, subject to the approval of the governors, was then read. The CHAIRMAN moved the reception and adop tion of the report, observing that it was open to Mr. Adams, who had given notice of a motion for the purchase of the Surrey Gardens, to move it as an amendment. Major LYON proposed an amendment that t.he ' committee have power to conclude a bargain loarrifiae purchase of the land opposite the Houses of r meat, provided the sum did not excee d £ 90 ,000. Mr. Alderman HUMPHRE Y hope d The grand would not agree to the amendmen t. o the meeting thought best under com mittee would do what th e y th to Bethlehem and the circumstances.

THE AurnortsiliP OF U n NCLE i01,1'13 CABIN ,c w o don't believe this story"(n y more than Little P Paul Dombey believed M rs. Pi ch a in h 's apologise a f bo m nt the Mad Bull) as told by Mr. Malet in is ,, Errand from the South," upon the authority of one Dr. Harrill. He (Dr. Harrill) was at Castleton in 1864. Dr. Howe was there, anda Mr. H a ll was at Prospect Hill, near White Hill. These gentlemen were friends of the family of Mrs. Beecher Stowe, who was left badly off. This lady had travelled in the South, where few Northerners ever go, except it bo to settle there ; she had written notes about the slaves. judge Howe concluded, as an abolitionist and universalist, to make out a book, and employed Hall, a clever hand, to write it. He called it Uncle Tom's Cabin,' a fiction on the said notes ; it was agreed to bring it out under Mrs. Beecher Stowe's name. Hall was to be paid for writing, and Judge Howe was to give Mrs. Beecher Stowe part of the profit ',which immensely exceeded all their expectations, and proved fortunes to them both. A conscientious Methodist minister in the same district, feeling that false impressions would be made by the book, wrote a pamphlet to counteract it ; but he was threatened with dismissal from his congregation, and the pamphlet was quashed." SIIICIDE.—On Tuesday a gentleman named Weber, engaged in lousiness in Liverpool, shot him self through the head at his house in Grassendale-park. He had betrayed symptoms of insanity, and was watched, but availed himself of the mometary absence of his attend ant to commit the act. SECOND EPITio SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. AUSTRALIA. VICTORIA. The summary of the Melbourne Argus of the 25th of May says : " The business accomplished by the Pa...Hamad of Vic toria during the month has been small in amount. The Legislative Council have laboured with some diligence, but the results have not gone beyond the advancement by a few stages of the measures submitted to them. The Electoral Act Amendment Bill, the Local Government Bill, and the Customs Laws Amendment Bill have nas,etl through committee; and the Immigration Bill, the Reforma tory Schools Bill, and the Youthful Offenders Bill have been read a second time. The Immigration bill will again be con , ielen d in committee. Some members have taken objection to the composition of the advising body siding in London proposed to Le created by the b:11, and ours this bone there has been considerable skirmishing. Itis hoped, however, that the information brought by last nail, ac to the formation of a Victorian Emigration Society in Londo't (such as the Government contemplates), and the desire that has grown up among the Lancashire people to seek Austra lian shores, will induce a majority of the Council to Id in with the views of the Ministry and the Lower House. By the passage of the bill, a sum of about £25,000, now lying in the Treasury for immigration purposes, would be placed at the disposal of the Agent-General. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS —Last Evening. KITCHEN AND REFRESHMENT-ROO:qS. Sir DE LACY EVANS, in the absence Fr o e f n the h hon. and French), h p i r d s opose gallant member for Roscommon (Colonel the following motion :—" That in th e op i n i on house the enlargement of the dining rooms proposed by the com mittee on the kitchen and refreshment roomssheuld be carried into execution." The proposed a lt erat i on was indis pensable for the comfort and convenience of the m em b ers. Lord HOTHAM. opposed the moti on , b ecause the. pro posed alterations would interfere with the divisi on l( ibbies, and would be a waste of public money. The tact wets that some hon. members desired to assimilate the refreshment rooms of the House of Commons to the coffee.rooms of the Clubs, which he considered an objectionable step. co ne of the coffee-rooms was open to the public. If, therefore, hon. members required more ace ,mmodation this. room could be kept entirely for them. It was proposed to allow the manager of the rooms £2OO a year, in order to obtain better viands and wines. He objected to the expenditure of the public money on any such purpose, because it would be akin to paying wages to members of Parliament. Lot hon members pay for what they had. Sir P, O'BRIEN supported the proposed chenge. Sir J. TRELAWNY deprecated the expenditure of public money on members' dinners. Such a suggestion made in public made his blood boil. (Laughter.) If tl.eey acceded to such an allowance they would greatly lower the dignity of the house. Mr. BASS considered that an ample allowance should be allowed to the caterer. Mr. OSBORNE was surprised at a financial reformer like the hon. member (Mr. Bass) supporting this motion. Mr. BASS—No, no. Mr. OSBORNE understood that he sat for Derby on financial reform principles. Mr. BASS--Nothing of the kind. Mr. OSBORNE said the house was so defectively con structed, even at a cost of £3,000,000, that neither that house nor any part of it was properly constructed. The committee who drew up the report on the proposed altera tions not only desired a sumptuous dining room, but cel lars where some eminent wine merchants who had been selected could deposit stocks of wines. If this were permitted, the Speaker would often find himself alone in. the chair, and the hon. member for Derby and the others who had signed the report would spend their days and nights in drinking. (Roars of laughter.) The Gebat , were never better conducted than in the old days of mutton chops at Bellamy's, Col. WHITE explained that the cellars were already constructed. The commtttee, in making their recommen dations, amply desired to promote the comfort and conve nience of the members. Mr. Steers supplied wine at a very reasonable price. Mr. BENTINCK supported the motion. Mr. COWPER said the house ought to be much obliged to the committee for the trouble they had taken in thi matter. It would be well to try and discover whether better accommodation could not be made without the proposed expenditure of £5,000. (Hear, hear.) He advised the hon. and gallant member ttl withdraw his motion and defer the matter until next session. After a few words from Mr. DILwYN, Sir DE LACY EVANS withdrew the motion. PARTNERSHIP LAW AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was recommitted, in order to introduce some amendments. Mr. HUBBARD moved that the chairman leave the chair. He considered that the bill in the present form would prove utterly valueless to the commercial commu nity. Mr. CAVE, whilst he considered the principle of "limited liability" incited the people to embark in hazardous speculations, yet he should sueport the. bill, though based somewhat on that system, because it would merely use it in its very mildest and harmless sense. Mr. GOSUHEN warmly supported the bill. Mr. VANCE opposed the bill, whilst Mr. FORSTER. looked upon it as an indispensable addition to the existing law of limited liability. Mr. T. BARING strongly opposed the measure because. in his opinion, it would introduce lax principles into trade by taking away that inducement to trade carefully which now existed in firms responsible to their last shilling for all the obliwations into which they might enter. Mr. wEGUELIN approved of the bill because it would base trade upon distinct and public capitals, which was tho natural basis of all credit. The bill would rather restrict than expand credit, and keep it within proper bounds. It was the limited liability of companies that limited and re gulated their credit. Mr. M. GIBSON said the bill had already received the approval of the house, and been carefully sifted by a sel ec t co mmittee, to which it was carried by the expre t s h s e de c s l i a r u e s o e f s thee fhouseor the ; hon. it was, e t r h f e o r r etoa d.c a in 7 h s a t m un ( u n s r u . a n l p u r b o b e a ee r d d) . t, believing that I to raise a debate on the g eneral ti p tx r ta i e n em c .i i n p a le ( io en t ar t o h ,f e .h m ea e r a .) sure H a e t t a h g a r t ee s d tag to e, b a y nd th s e o a 7 le t o a t rd eo t ot he m as k :i d r. th E e ll, c z onai y tte s e op t p o o g r o te. i d n t to he th a e m c e l h au d m se e s o . the bill would promote private trade at the expense of the n s n a t w b n e o a reason llow e supported the . bill. public.
