Continued dulness is apparent in the market for the English Funds, and there appears to be an inclination on the part of the operators to contract rather than enlarge their engagements. Con sols are scarcely so firm as they were yesterday afternoon, being 92* for money, and 924 s for the April settlement. The New Three per Cents. and the Reduced are flat at 911 ex div.

The case was proved by Rutherford and Guest, two of the society's officers, who saw the horse in the Euston road drawing a cart laden with stone, and, observing the animal walking very lame, they examined it, and found that a part of one of its hoofs was broken off, the remaining part being in a completely rotten state. The defendant Miller said the horse was now at the straw-yard. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should have thought the best thing to have done would have been to put the poor horse out of its missry at once, and that it was a case for the pis tol and not the straw-yard. The defendant Miller he should fine 10s., and Triggs 55.; at the same time the offi cers of the society would keep a watch that the horse was not used. SHARE MARKETS—This Day. are 1 Railways.

THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT THE GREAT WESTERN COAL DEPOT. The Grand Jury having returned a true bill for ma'a slaughter in this else, the trial of the superintendent of the works was postponed until next session. ALLEGED CHILD MURDER. Caroline Burns, a girl nearly 16 years of age, was in dicted for the wilful murder of her infant child ; there was also an indictment against her for concealment of its birth. The girl was a domestic servant to a lady in Beaumont square. From certain suspicious circumstances the pri soner was accused of giving birth to a child, the body of which was afterwards discovered wrapped up in a cloth in the closet. _ _ The jury found her guilty of concealment of birth, but strongly recommended her to mercy on account of her tender age. The learned Judge postponed passing sentence until ho had made some inquiries about the prisoner. NEW COURT. (Before Baron Bramwell.) THE ALLEGED MURDER BY A CHINESE. The Chinese indicted for the wilful murder of one of his fellow countrymen, was this morning placed at the bar to plead. On being asked by the interpreter whether he was guilty or not guilty, he replied " not guilty," and that he elected to be tried by a mixed jury—half English and half Chinese. Baron Bramwell told him he was not entitled to that, but he could have six persons on the jury not Englishmen. The prisoner assented to this,and the required number of foreigners not being in attendance, the case was postponed until to-morrow. ALLEGED BURGLARY 'WITH VIOLENCE. William Crane, Charles Lawrence, George Wright, and William Goodland, were indicted, the first three for unlaw fully attempting to break and enter the dwelling-house of Jonathan Bell, and the latter, in addition, was charged with feloniously and maliciously inflicting grevious bodily injury upon one William Thomas, a police-constable, with intent to resist his lawful apprehension. _ _ _ Four men, said to be the prisoners,were discovered in the act of breaking into the Bull publie-house, in the Bethnal Green-road, by police-constable Thomas. He went up, whenGoodland struck him a heavy blow with an iron crow bar, which nearly killed him, From the injuries received the policeman was rendered insensible, and the men got away. The prisoners were apprehended afterwards in different parts of the country, but when Good land was met by a policeman, he resisted his capture with the greatest fero city, and it was only after a desperate encounter, when the constable told him he was determined to have him dead or alive, that he was secured. The jury acquitted Wright. After a long deliberation, the foreman of the jury in formed his lordship that they had made up their minds with respect to two of the prisoners, and with respect to the other there were eleven to one, but he did not think there was the slightest chance of their agreeing. Air. Baron Bramwell said he could not discharge them without giving a verdict, and therefore they must submit to the disagreeable necessity of being locked up until they could agree. The Foreman--I don't think there is the slightest chance of us agreeing. THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Charles Edward Griffiths was indicted for stealing a letter containing two £lO Bank of England notes, the pro perty of her Majesty's Postmaster-General. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence deferred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE---This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the former for having caused a horse to be tortured, and the latter for having tortured the same animal by working it whilst in an unfit state for labour. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL ATTACK UPON A BAND OF STREET MUSICIANS.—John Frawley and Jeremiah O'Neil were charged with a series of disgraceful assaults. Edward Barr said that he and seven men, with their faces blacked, were exhibiting aS Ethiopian melodists in Ebury-street, last evening, when the defendant Frawley came up and Attacked them with a stick. Complainant was acting as bandmaster, when defendant assaulted him no less than three times without the least provocation. George Warwick, violinist, said he saw the assault upon. Barr. Frawley then dealt witness a blow and knocked him down. As witness was the money-taker he got out of I the crowd as soon as he could. Mr. Arnold—You were the treasurer ? Witness—Yos t and was afraid of losing our takings. I saw Frawley hit "Judy" very shamefully. Mr. Arnold—Who is " Judy ?" Witness—Why, Mr. Barr; ho plays "Judy".—Punch's Judy, and so we call him " Judy." (Much laughter.) Edward Aymont, another of the band, said that Frawley struck him on the chest, and then tell upon the fiddler. Mr. Arnold—You mean the violinist. Witness—Yes, your worship, but we calls him the fiddler. (Laughter.) William Kirby—He brushed up against me. Mr: Arnold—What ; are you a musician ? Witness—Ah, well; yes, I play the drum, that's all. (Much laughter.) _ _ _ J. Benson, 30, said that he heard that Frawley had ill treated the musicians, and took him into custody, when he violently assaulted him. O'Neil attempted to rescue him with violence. Two or three other policemen perceived the outrageous conduct of:both the defendants, and Frawley's commission of further assaults. Major Bamford proved lending the police assistance. Frawley's conduct was most vicious. By his advice the police turned Frawley upside down, and so carried him at last quietly to the station. (Laughter.) Mr. Arnold—lt was a military manoeuvre. The Major—Yes. Mr. Arnold—The police are much indebted to you for the invention. (Laughter.) Mr. Arnold committed Frawley for four months, and ordered him to find bail; and fined O'Neil, who received an excellent character, 40s. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. A very moderate supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market. Owing to the fineness of the weather, and the extensive import from abrcad, the trade was very dull, and prices were even lower than on Monday. With foreign wheat, the market was extensively supplied. For all descriptions the trade was in a sluggish state, and the quotations had a downward tendency. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at barely late rates. The supply of barley was large. The finest parcels fairly supported the late improvement; but other kinds were obtainable at reduced prices. In malt, a fair average business was transacted, at late rates. The supply of oats was not to say extensive. The parcels, being scarce, maintained their previous value; but inferior produce sold heavily, at low p rices. Beans and peas m oved off slowly , y et no chan g e took place in the quotations. Barrel flour was in good supp l y , and slow request, at a rcuuetion of 6d per barrel. Other k inds meta dull inquiry at drooping currencies. English...— 920 I ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. 790 $ 2,030 I Irish Foreign.... , 20,590 I 17,310 24,380 brio.

(Cheers.) He regretted the virulent opposition which it had to encounter in this house. The retention of this obnoxious declaration on the statute book was of no benefit or advantage to the Church of Eng land. (Loud cheers•) Since 1828, when Lord Russell succeeded in altering this then obnoxious law with respects to tests, the bent of legislation had been to liberate religious bodies from unnecessary trammels. Ro man Catholics had been liberated from the shackles which once interfered with their religious liberty, and even the Jews had been admitted into that house. (Hear, hear.) The declaration complained of constituted a civil disability and inequality, and afforded rio security whatever to the Church of England. (Cheers.) No danger possibly could ensue to the Church from the immediate abolition of this declaration. Neither was there any danger to the Church from dissent or Roman Catholicism ; if, indeed, any danger existed, it arose from internal dissensions. (Loud cheers.) But he hoped the Church would outlive her internal dis sensions, for it would be a sad day for the Church, and Dis senters too, if she ceased to exist. (Hear, hear.) The time had long gone by when the declaration was endowed with any value, and the house and the public out of doors were much indebted to the hon. members for Sheffield and Leeds in persevering with it until it became the law of the land They very properly pressed it in the house again and again, in pursuance of a compact long since made with those who disliked making the affirmation, because such a course was opposed to their religious scruples. Mr. WALPOLE, said though thislbill really dealt with a small matter, he feared that there was a good deal more in the background, and that this was only one of the many attempts made of late to undermine the Church of England. He denied that a compact made with one Parliament was binding upon any of its successors. The Chancellor of the Exchequer ought to be the last man to talk of compacts. How, for instance, had he kept his compact with respect to the income tax? (Hear, hear, and laughter.) After a few words from Mr. FOUSTER and Mr. NEWDE.. oit.TE in explanation, the house divided, when there ap peared— For the third reading 175 Against it 172 Majority 3 The numbers were announced amidst loud cheering. The bill was consequently read a third time and passed. REGISTER OF VOTERS BILL. On the motion for going into committee, Mr. HOWES moved that the house go into committee this day six months.

TurlEn t - a copy of the memo. rial addressed by the licensed victuallers of Liverpool, pur suant to a meeting held at Liverpool on the 11th of Feb ruary last, was ordered. QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICES ABOLITION BILL. Mr. HADFIELD, in moving the third reading of this bill, alluded to the large attendance of members on so in convenient a day for an attendance as a Wednesday. No less than four times this bill had been passed by the House of Commons, and no less than 72 peers—comprising names of the highest historical renown—had voted in its favour. None of the Ministers of the Crown, nor, indeed, any of the other officers of the State, from the highest to the lowest, had, on taking office, signed the existing declaration for the last 30 years. He was therefore at a loss to understand why it should be retained in the case of municipal authorities, to many of whom its application was exceedingly offensive. He warned those who opposed the bill that, by rejecting it, it might stir up discord among, as now, an united people. The boon sought by the bill was but a small one to ask, and ought to be granted. Mr. BkTNES seconded the motion. Mr. NEWDEGATE moved that the bill be read a third time that day six months. Each session the majorities against the bill had augmented, showing the feeling of the house on the matter. The real object of the measure was to enable members of corporations to use their cor porate power to attack and undermine the Church of Eng land. _ _ _ Mr. SELWYN seconded the motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER expressed SALMON FISHERIES BILL. On the motion for going into committee, Mr. M'MAHON stated, i n reply to Mr. Maguire, that he had no objection to, intro d u ce certain amendments emanating from the corporation of Cork. Lord FERMOY then moved that the bill be submitted to a select committee. This bill was a far more objation able measure than the one introduced by the hon. member for Wexford (Mr. M'Mahon.) That was a far more simple and comprehensive measure than the one read. (LEFT SITTING.) BANK RETURNS.

"Burning to death and saving from death" is the alluring title of his discourse, and as every unhappy victim to the ignited crinoline has sup plied him with a sort of ghastly advertisement, it is by no means wonderful that his rooms are crammed to repletion. People know that Mr. Pepper is much too wise in his generation to attempt to in struct them only, to lecture drily on the chymical properties of combustibles and incombustibles, or to discourse with unspiced erudition on the subject of asbestos. They are well aware that a sensation scene of some kind or another is in preparation for them, and, indeed, it is one of Mr. Pepper's great qualities that he knows how to flavour his rations of science with sauce of the strongest relish. Un mixed is the satisfaction with which the spectators behold him as he tests the efficacy of various anti dotes to combustion, by holding a piece of muslin saturated with each in the flame of a lamp. Phos phate of ammonia, that produces carbonisation. without combustion, or—to use shorter words — blackens without a blaze, is regarded with great respect. More lightly esteemed is borax, which allows the flame to give a sort of red-hot appearance to the muslin, and leads one to conjecture that if it will prevent people from being actually consumed, it will not insure them against the chance of being grilled. Contempt, shared by the lecturer, is felt for alum, which seems to be endowed with the negative virtues of a chip in the porridge; while tungstate of soda and the " patent incombus tible starch" command murmurs of applause. Still, the pleasure as yet felt is mainly of an anticipatory kind. The " patent incombustible starch" manu factured at Rushton••stieet, Hoxton, and sold at the Polytechnic, is obviously the article to which the whole lecture is intended to lead, but everybody is convinced that its virtues will be shown in a more striking manner than the preservation of a miser able piece of muslin. The conviction is justified by the event. With two grand " effects" does the lecture conclude. For the first Mr. Pepper brings forward a lay figure, attired like a lady largely be-. crinolined, and stands it on a plate of iron. A light seen ow t fhoer fate the the more susceptible of the spectators s hrie k aloud y re appalling than the bril at the frightful representationfigureapplied be the skirt blankets kf r eo e fiat s f saps flame, the appearance or n a oanf daa frequentc m u es s flames f etare thehoci reality. With the aid of dilapidated of the damsel who wore crinoline, but would not use" patent incombustible starch ;" we have now to behold the reward of prudence. Not a lay-figure, bat a real lady, attired in a duly prepared garment, takes her place on the iron plate and confidently walks up and down between two rows of t flame. The fire lightly plays upon her secondlfiei n tui t rn eg d lesis.estffbreueedc.i perh apsb on u e vt o e he f ne skirt, and leaves her unscathed, while she bravely tempts it to do its worst.

Revolver, being better class than the remainder, won easily. The winner cut up so indifferently in the Lincolnshire Handicap that neither Lord Stamford nor his new aide-de-camp, Captain Little, backed him for a sixpence on this occasion. Donne Canne, who had been generally fancied, was out-paced from end to end, and the Mountain Maid filly, my selection, was not allowed to run, although her jockey had weighed, and the number was displayed on the telegraph board. Such proceedings as these are disreputable, and, for the prevention of similar occurrences, the Jockey Club, by virtue of their authori; y, ought to take the question into consideration. There was no feature whatever on the first day of the meeting, and, excepting the principal handicap, the fielders must have found it " warm," as some very great "pots" were landed. Betting during the last few days I has not been remarkable for any activity, and at Tattersall's on Monday the principal incident was the menace of Mr. Wybrow Robertson, the former owner of Boabdil, against Lord Clifden for the Derby. His repeated offers to lay 13 to 2, or take 7 to 1, were received with a sarcastic coldness and indifference by the spectators. National Guard was out of odour, but it simply arose from the fact of the horse having triflingly injured the crust of his foot, and been put in physic. Carnival again looks like becoming a favourite for the "blue riband," as 20 to 1 was taken to good money on Monday, while his stable companion, Pratique, who is lame, was driven out of the market. Ava lanche "came" a tremendous favourite for the Liverpool Steeplechase, even to the surprise of the ring men, as it was well known that several had been put in the market to "get a bit" out of her. There is no doubt that she is now backed for genuine money, but having seen her myself, or been as I may say nay own tout, she seemed to have lost all her action, and I must confess that nothing would surprise me more than to witness her success in the Grand National. 'I he Dane, if well, must take a deal of beating for Liverpool, and Captain Christie, when he was in town the other day, made it no secret that he was very sanguine, if not confident. No movement has been made about Golby's lot, but Jeru salem will be backed, be a favourite before the day, and nearly win. Jealousy's position nobody can make out, but Mr. John Bennett, as usual, hovers about the Haymarket, and informs all his friends that the old mare will win. So he did last year, and then effected a compromise by making his acquaintances "stand" Romeo at the last moment. The Derby meeting follows Nottingham to-morrow, and most of the professionals will journey there by railway. Four events have closed, but the Union Hunt Steeplechase remains open till the night before running. Pineapple has incurred a penalty of fib for the Midland Steeplechase, which will increase his weight to lOst lib, and he will about win, unless Antelope should prove as good as Chris. Green believes. The Staunton Harold Plate must fall to Faith or Coimbra, and Sinking Fund or Remunerator will most probably carry off the Hurdle Race. Henham Lass or Dis dain are " best in" for the Harrington Plate. To-morrow, Thursday, the Royal Artillery officers have their meeting at Woolwich, but the management of the affair is of such a strange kind that I have an idea they wish to keep the whole of the sport among themselves. In my next article, on Monday evening, I shall examine the Liverpool pro gramme at considerable length, and endeavour to unravel this steeplechase mystery. PEGASUS, Wednesday morning. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—TtEspLy. The events at Nottingham formed the principal feature of the day. For the Liverpopl Steeplechase, notwithstand ing the 25 to 1 (offered) at Tattusall's against Jealousy, few here were disposed to lay 100 to 6 against her ; tho last we saw booked was 100 to 7.

The Txial Stakes of 51sovs each, with : 25 addel, for three yr-olds and upwards ; certain allowances and penalties, LITERA TUBE, The Hatory.of the. Supernatural. By William Howitt. Two Vols; Longman. The peculiar views of Mr. Hewitt on the subject of spiritualism have been indicated in some of his previous works, and the present volumes are en tirely devoted to their advocacy. In them some truth is mixed with much error, and it is with regret that we see a name well known and honoured in English literature appended to a work which upholds the wildest theories of mesmerists and me diums. Argument is useless in such a controversy —it is met by the assertion of incredible facts, and the accusation of scepticism. Ridicule is powerless against these who believe themselves in direct com munication with the unseen world. Mr. Howitt is profuse in his censures of the incredulity and hardness of belief in the present day, but, iu truth, his pages only prove the age to be too credulous. Sonic of the passages and citations in his opening chapters on Faith are true and beautiful, but the faith we need for our guidance and comfort is not the faith that sees tables whirling to the ceiling, or hears departed spirits knocking on the table. The communication with departed friends has always appeared to us one of the most extraordinary of the boasted advantages of the spiritualist. - Where is the comfort of believing the weary can be recalled from their rest, by the summons of a paid medium, to the undignified task of knocking tables and swinging about chairs? It is an outrage on the sanctity which should enfold our memories of the departed—a desecration of that holy and peaceful shrine in which we should consecrate them in our affections. The statistics given by Mr. Howitt are somewhat startling. He says that the Rev. W.

We should hope this estimate was considerably ex aggerated ; but, in truth, the ready credulity of so many in our sceptical age only adds another proof to the many already extant which show that in-. fidelity and superstition are close allies, and that the age which plumes itself on discovering verbal discrepancies in the sacred writers, does not find it hard to believe that spirits guide the pen of writers in our day for no particular purpose ; and while many are found to cast sceptic doubts on the pro. miss of the resurrection, there are plenty of be lievers in the clasping of unseen hands and the whispers of voices long silent in the grave. In, the list of American Spiritualists there is one item omitted by Mr. Howitt.

But we reiterate our regret that intelligent and cultivated men should be found to lend the weight of their influence to the attempts made to impose on the ignorant and superstitious. The spiritual sense we need is not the listening to knocks, and faith in pieces of twine sent from the " spiritualist" to the afflicted; the support which is to sustain us under the trials of life is assuredly not drawn from such sources. Superstition is the most subtle and dangerous foe to true and earnest faith, even as it is the state of mind most opposed to that calm and self conteolled decision which best qualifies a man for the duties of life. There are many passages and anecdotes scattered through these volumes which are curious and recondite ; indeed, the whole work is not without interest from its able defence of the pecu 'iar theories of its author, although it is scarcely ikely to afford much satisfaction to the reader who s uninfluenced by mesmeric agencies.
