THE NATIONAL FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.—The beauti ful* estate of Mill Hill, West Cowes, purchased for distri bution amongst the members of this institution, has been allotted out, and about 100 plots have been taken Tor build ing purposes. It is considered that there will be space for the erection of 300 villas, all commanding extensive sea and land views. The whole is to be sewered at a depth of eight feet. The roads are finished in a most superior style, and the whole looks more like a nobleman's park than the property of a " Mutual Benefit Building Society." The quantity of gravel of the very best quality, with which the estate abounds, has enabled the directors to construct such a set of roads as were never before seen here. _ .6EN0 . 8.

COWES CASTLE still continues untenanted, excepting by the housekeeper of the late Captain. Report says that it has been offered to Lord Raglan. It is most beautifully situated for a marine residence, but totally useless as a place of defence against an enemy. le PARKHURST PRISON.—Three more lads of this esta blishment managed to break out of prison last night. The part that they were confined in is under repair, and these young rascals succeeded in getting out through the roof. They are about 17 years of age. One of them belongs to Portsmouth, and this is the second time that he has broken out. Surely some precautions ought to be taken that he should not go on thus with impunity. It is expected that they will try to get to Portsmouth from Ryde. There has been a general turn-out of the island police, the preventive force, and the troops to run these gaol-birds down. Betting-6 to 4 agst Crosslanes, 7to 4 agst Mishap, 10 to 1 agst Exact, and 10 to 1 agst any other. Alling ton made the running to the back of the course, where he was joined by Mishap, who soon afterwards took the lead. At the furthest turn Crosslanes drew into the second place, and she and Mishap entered the straight run in in close company, followed by Cable and Exact ; the latter, in a few strides further, ran into the third position, and from this point the race was with the three placed. When opposite the betting-stand Exact ob tained a decided lead, and at last won easily by two lengths, moderate third, Allington a bad fourth, Vestige, fifth, Cable sixth, Noisette seventh.

Little Jack was struck out this afternoon at 2.30, and Baalbec at 2.55--the latter in consequence of an objection being made by. Mr. John Scott against Wood, who was en gaged to ride Baalbec. It appeared that Wood had quitted Mr. Scott's service without notice, and that he went to Chester to ride without his leave. Augusta was restive at the post, and the start was delayed some time in consequence. At length the lot got off on very fair terms. Colsterdale started with the lead, but had scarcely proceeded 200 yards when Axwell rushed to the front, followed by Amalgamation, Bianca, Colstersdale, King ston, General Breezo, and Grapeshot, in the order named. At the Coal Pit turn Axwell and Amalga mation were in difficulties, and both retired quite beaten. Kingston, who had run into the third place before making the turn, was now left with the lead, and when just below the distance, "Kingston wins ! " Kingston wins !" was shouted enthusiastically on all sides ; he was, however, almost immediately joined by Hunca Munca, Grapeshot, and Aribbas. At the half distance he began to fail, and Grapeshot ran in a clever winner by a length ; Kingston beating Hunca Munca by the same distance ; a neck between third and fourth ; Bianca was a very good fifth, Jetty Treffz sixth, Axwell seventh, and Amalgamation eighth ; the pace was good throughout.

The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress entertained at dinner in the Egyptian Hall, Mansion-House, last even ing, the Archbishops and Bishops, together with other distinguished visitors. Covers were laid for 260, Shortly after six o'clock the company sat down to dinner. The cloth having been removed, the vocalists, Miss Ransford, Miss M. Wells, Mr. Montem Smith, and Mr. Leffler, chaunted the grace, " For these and all thy mercies given," in a most effective manner. The " loving cup" was then passed round in accord ance with the usual form, after which The LORD MAYOR proposed "The Queen," which was drunk with enthusiasm, as was also the toast of Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family: The LORD MAYOR then rose to propose the Arch bishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, and the Bishops and Clergy of the Church of England. His lordship said, that the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign parts had been established in the year 1701. Its objects wero mainly, as its name imported—to extend the knowledge of the Gospel in fo reign parts. 'While ho had to congratulate their lordships, the bishops, that they were enabled in 10,000 pulpits in this country to promote the knowledge of the Gospel amongst the people of this country, he had further to ex press his satisfaction that in no less than 26 colonies the blessings of religion had been extended through, the in strumentality of the Society, whose existence they were honouring that evening. (Hear.) His Lordship then referred to the gratifying circumstance that the Church in America was associated with that in England, and much through the instrumentality of this society ; and concluded by proposing the toast with which he com menced his observations, which was drunk with enthusiasm. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY begged, as president of the society thus honoured, to return thanks for the compliment paid to it. The society, he could assure them, was well deserving of their support, for it was a most important means of promoting a knowledge of the Gospel in the colonies, and the statistics of the society established beyond the possibility of all doubt, that the most valuable results had been derived to religion from the exertions of this society. (Hear, hear.) The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The Army and Navy," and said that at that time it was especially de sirable that they should mark their estimate of the value of the services of both branches of the service. ..__ General Sir J._ WiLsoN, — on the part of the army, and Sir G. PECHELL, on the part of the navy, responded to the toast. The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The health of the Archbishop of Dublin, and thanks to him for his sermon delivered that day"—a discourse that bore the impress of the most rev. prelate's mind, and one that carried conviction as to the value and importance of the society whose purpose he advocated. (Hear, hear.) The Archbishop of Dublin, in returning thanks, bore testimony to the value of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and said that, as a bishop of the Irish branch of the Church of England, he felt most anxious for its success. From Ireland the stream of emigration was constantly flowing, and it was of importance that the knowledge of the Gospel should flow with it. There was faith, and truth, and virtue associated with the people who left Ireland for distant countries, and it was of the greatest consequence to make them missionaries in propagating the Gospel of Christ in those countries. It was for the people of England to say whether this society should be made the instrument of doing the amount of good which it was capable of effecting. The LORD MAYOR then gave "The House of Peers," which was acknowledged by the Marquis of Westmin ster. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY next proposed " The Health of the Lord Mayor," who briefly expressed his acknowledgments. The Earl of HARDWICKE then proposed the " Colo• nial Bishops," which was responded to by the Bishop of New Zealand. The Bishop of LONDON, in proposing the Lady Mayoress, referred to the fact of his having been presi dent of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel for many years, and expressed his gratification at the success which had attended its labours. The LORD MAYOR having returned thanks for the compliment paid to the Lady Mayoress, the company retired. The musical arrangements were conducted in a most satisfactory manner, generally speaking. It was, however, to be regretted that the programme was not correctly carried out. The consequence was, that the pleasing ballad of the " Irish Emigrant," which was anxiously looked for by the company, was not sung in the order set down in the programme, and we believe not at all. Mr. Browne was a highly-effective toastmaster. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT WESTERN. .An adjourned special meeting of the proprie tors of this company was held yesterday, at the Paddington terminus (Mr. 0. Russell in the chair), at which the following resolutions were passed : "That the Birkenhead Dock Trustees Act, 1854,' already approved by a meeeting of the proprietors of this company, having been since amended in its further progress through the House of Commons, be, and the same is hereby, ratified and approved, in the form in which it will be introduced into the House of Lords. " That the bill pending in Parliament now submit ted to the proprietors present at this meeting, entitled A Bill to alter and extend the North Metropolitan Railway, and to consolidate and amend the Provisions relating thereto,' be, and the same is hereby, approved, subject to such alterations, amendments, or additions as, during the further progress of the bill, may be made by Parliament, or by the directors ; and the directors are hereby authorised to make or concur in any altera tions, amendments, or additions which they may think desirable. "That this meeting do .now further adjourn until Thursday, the 29th instant, at one o'clock precisely, for the purpose of proceeding with the other unfinished business, and to consider other bills, of which due notice was given in the circular letter and advertisement, dated 22d May, 1854, in order that, if necessary, the copies of such further bills may be then submitted to the meeting, in accordance with the standing orders of the Hovse of Lords ; and that the adjourned meeting be held in the Paddington station of this company." GREAT NORTHERN. • An adjourned special meeting of the proprietors of the above company was held yesterday, at the King's cross terminus, for the purpose of having submitted to them a bill, now pending in Parliament, to authorise working arrangements between the Ambergate, Notting ham and Boston, and Eastern Junction Railway, and the Great Northern Railway Company, on lease or sale to the last-named company ; and also to authorise the directors to en t e r into agreements and do such acts as might be nece ssa ry to-give effect to the provisions con tained in th e bill. Mr. E. Denison, M.P., was in the chair. The advertisement by which the meeting had been convened having been read, The Chairman stated that the bill was now before the committee of the House of Commons, and ho had been told, on authority, that if it passed without any mate rial alteration, as regarded the interests of the Great Northern Company, it would not be necessary—if the proprietors now approved of the measure—to call them again together to deliberate upon it. After considerable discussion —the marginal notes of the bill having been read—it was deemed the safer course to adjourn the meeting for a week ; and the meeting was adjourned accordingly.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. In addition to the mail to be made up for the White Sea squadron this evening, via Hull, Christiansand, and Wangoe, mails will also be made up at the General Post Office for the British army in Turkey, and the British fleet in the Black Sea, to be forwarded through France, and from Marseilles by French mail packet to Constan tinople. _ _ _ The Volcano steam gun-vessel has been ordered for immediate service in the Baltic. She has been commis sioned by Commander Roberts, and yesterday the entry of the crew commenced at the naval rendezvous, Tower hill. Advices were received yesterday at Lloyd's, that her Majesty's steamer Tribune, Capt. Carnegie, bound for the Black Sea, had been spoken, all well, on the 13th inst., in 36 N, 3 E. The Royal Albert, 131 guns, is to have a complement of 1,000 men, including officers. Commander A. Little was expected at Sheerness yesterday to commission this ship. When the Esk screw steam-sloop went down the river on Monday it was found that her engines, of 250 horse power, on the oscilating direct-action principle, worked well, making 68 revolutions per minute. She has been since taken into the basin at Woolwich to be fitted with all possible despatch for sea. The Wellington third-rate guardship, of ordinary pro tem. at Sheerness was paid off yesterday, and her officers and crew officially transferred to the Formidable, 84 guns. They will remain hulked on board the Welling ton until the Formidable is ready to receive them. She is progressing sloWly in her fitment, in consequence of all force being put on the Royal Albert to equip her. The Formidable has sent her topmasts on end, and with more assistance she can shortly be completed. Her fit ment is proceeding under the directions of Commander Josiah Thompson. The Hannibal, 90, new screw steamship, of 450 horse power, Captain the Hon. Frederick W . Grey, slipped from her moorings off Folly Point, at 8.30 a.m. yester day,stea m as w si a s s te g d ot by u p t h i e n W s a i t d p fi a a r e R a e n ae d h. Add T e h r e s a t t e e a a m m v v e e s s s s e e ls i; having been cast off, she - proceeded under her own steam power, and in a short time left the Adder and Wildfire far in her rear. Her draught of water at the time was —aft 25 feet 5 inches, and forward 32 feet 1 inch. She proceeded on a trial of her machinery under pilot charge of Thomas Crafter, Queen's pilot at Chatham. She passed the flag-ship Waterloo, 120, at the garrison point, at 10.30 a.m., rounded the Nore Light vessel at 10.48 a.m., and ran up Sea Reach, where she was turned by her helm within her own circle. She returned again for the harbour, and repassed the flagship at 11.30 a.m. Her rate of speed on this trial averaged over nine knots per hour, on distance run, making the usual allowance for the tides. She then proceeded to the moorings appro priated for her at Blackstakes, for the purpose of coal ing, taking in ammunition, shell, &c., and to adjust her compasses by swinging ship. The latter will commence as soon as she has completed her coaling of 500 tons. Her engines average 32 revolutions per minute, with a Ipressure of 121 b. ; she was propelled by her new brass screw with a pitch of 11 feet 6 inches, in lieu of one of 12 feet 6 inches formerly fitted, which is now to be ap propriated as a spare one, and is most conveniently stowed immediately over the engine-room hatchway. On the starting of her machinery it was found that some of the bearings which had been exposed to the transit of chain cables, cordage, and other stores of various de scriptions, had accumulated a quantity of dirt and rub bish ; they became beate I from the friction, but it was shortly obviated by the dirt working its way out. The machinery then acted admirably without the slightest de rangement. This ship is supplied with extra weights to increase the pressure to 161 b. on the square inch, instead of 121 b., as at present, whereby she will be enabled to work her steam more expansively, and by this produce a greater amount of power, with the same expenditure of fuel. The machinery was superintended during the trial by Mr. D. Partridge, of Woolwich dockyard. The engines were originally made by Messrs. Scott and Sin clair, and put into the Greenock, from which ship they were removed, and, after some alterations, fitted on board by the engineering department at Woolwich yard. This ship numbers in crew at present about 470, clear of her officers. She has the electric telegraph from her poop, leading down into her engine room. There she has a large dial plate fitted up on the fore side of the after beam, with a conspicuous hand, under control of the electric wire, which hand indicates on the port side for movements a-head, as follows :—stop, slow, half speed, faster, full-speed, and it has a similar index in the starboard side for movements astern. Thus the engineer driving has the index immediately at all times before m. The loud ringing of a bell is caused by each elec- tric communication from the poop. This electric com municator has been patented by Captain William Cris pin, of her Majesty's yacht Fairy, and was fitted by Mr: Alen, engineer, of London. The following appointments have been made : Lieutenant Hon. R. F. Boyle (1843), to command the Spy. 3, brigantine, commissioned this day at Chatham. Master William R. Madge (1832), to the Royal Al bert, screw steam-ship at Sheerness. Assistant Engineer of the third class Henry Paine, to the fleet. Masters' Assistants.—William Stewart, to the Han nibal, 91, screw steamship, a t Ch a th am ; Charles J. Bigley, to the Gorgon, paddlewheel steam sloop ; Hugh H. Hanny, to the Monarch, 84 ; Frederick Borne, to the Boscawen, 70 ; James J. Brunton, to the Colossus, screw steamship, at Portsmouth ; James C.

French (1854), to the Colossus, 80, screw steamship ; Jonathan Mayne (1854), to the Vic tory flagship, at Portsmouth ; F. M. Dufane, to the Royal Albert. Seamen continue-to volunteer freely at Liverpool for the Royal Navy. On Wednesday evening 15 more were forwarded from that port to the metropolis. Yesterday the directors of the East India Company gave notice at Lloyd's that a ship was required to con vey 300 more troops from the river Thames to Calcutta, They are to embark between the 23d of July and the 4th of August. Yesterday the transport Arthur the Great, No. 28, in getting under weigh in the Downs, with troops and stores for the Black Sea, got into collision with the Plaugh, of Whitby, earring away jibbom. It is ex pected that she will put back to Sheerness to make good the damage. MILITIA AND YEOMANRY. The appointed period of training for the Shropshire Militia terminated on Friday last with the inspection and the presentation of its colours. The ceremony of consecration was performed by the Rev. R. L. Burton, and the presentation of the colours was kindly under taken by Lady Corbet, the sister of the gallant colonel. The regiment was afterwards inspected by Colonel Scott, Assistant-Quartermaster-General of the Manchester dis trict. At the conclusion Colonel Hill addressed the men, informing them that the inspecting officer wished him to convey to them his admiration of the manner in which they went through their various manoeuvres, and that, although be had been told by Colonel Blake, the officer who inspected them last year, of the efficiency of the regiment, he certainly was not at all prepared to see them acquit themselves in the steady manner he had that day the pleasure of seeing. A luncheon was after wards given in the armoury by the officers to Lady Cor bet and a large assemblage of guests from the neigh bourhood and the adjoining counties. The Colonel of the Pembrokeshire Artillery Militia has received a letter fromstating, in Secretary-at-War in answer to an offer of embodiment on the part m en, that no more regiments than those already selected the o selected and ordered to be embodied will be called out. The regiment is at present undergoing 28 days' training at Haverfordwest. The Brecon Militia are to be permanently embodied, and at the end of the months' training are expected to be ordered for garrison duty. The men have made re markable progress ; many of them have volunteered into the regular service. .

We have accounts of Admiral Paniutine' and the Russian squadron, whose peregrinations in the Pacific, Ocean have been related. The particulars which we find in the Eco Ilispanp-American possess importance and interest because they throw light on the projects of Russia in those distant regions. In March last the squadron commanded by Admiral Paniutine suddenly made its appearance in the Bay of Manilla. Their arri val caused the more astonishment as the Czar has always refused to recognise the legitimacy of Queen Isabella, and as, in fact, Russia has always openly supported the cause of Don Carlos, a fact which had completely inter. rupted all diplomatic or commercial relations between the two countries. To the surprise of every one , the Rus sian squadron, on en t er i ng th e b a y, fi re d th e salutes usual with allied and friendly nations. It also fired salutes in' honour of the happy accouchement of Queen Isabella,' when the account of that event was received. Admiral Paniutine also, accompanied by all his officers in full uni form, went to pay his respects to the Marquis de No valiches, governor general of the Phillippine Islands. These extraordinary advances were soon explained. The Russian Admiral having doubtless been informed of the serious complications which disturbed the peace of Europe, and of the danger which threatened his flag, wished to secure a place of refuge at the Phillippines. The situation of that place was also an excellent point of observation for a squadron which might entertain hostile designs against the English settlements in India and China. These considerations did not escape the sagacity pf the Spanish governor, and, in receiving the Russian officers, he took care that the interview should be purely of a private character, thus uniting the laws of politeness with the rules of prudence. This re ception appeared to disconcert the plans of Admiral Paniutine, although it did not discourage him. A short time after he demanded permission from the governor t o esta b lish som e buildings on shore for the pu r p ose of effecting his vessels, an d for thepurpose of astronomical ob.- servations, thus endeavouring to t n o ec o es b sa ta r i y n repairs to r which the colonial laws i and friendly powers. This penetrate e y i t n h to e of Spain refuse to allied s request was peremptorily refused by the M arqu i s de Novaliches. Another re questh hie officers o was cers then to en alm a ir L al agu for ne pe o rmi n t ss h i e on p f l o sa that they were anxious to see a country of the beauty of which so much had been said. The enthusiasm of the Russians as tourists appearedi, however, t o b e as much suspected as their zeal for astronomy, and their new re quest being considered to conceal a wish not only to make drawings of localities, but also to take soundings, was as peremptorily refused as the first. The Governor- General, however, in order not to appear wanting in proper urbanity, offered Admiral Paniutine a passp or t for himself and a single aide-de-camp to visit the interior of the country, and also allowed the Russian squadron to supply itself with coal from the depots of the State en a requisition from Admiral Paniutine stating that he was in absolute want of that article. The Governor- General of the Philippine Islands, in all this affair, in which he had to resist inch by inch the pressing de. mends and schemes of the Muscovite Admiral, gave proof of vigour and ability. His last act showed that he took no less care of the interests of private individuals than of those of the Spanish Government. He learned that, on the arrival of the Russian squadron, a commer cial firm at Manilla had announced in the Boletin Oficial the public negotiation of bills of exchange drawn on London by Admiral Paniutine, and addressed to the firm in question. He prevented the operation. In the absence of an official representative of Russia in the Philippines, who could follow such transactions, he did not think right to permit a negotiation which might compromise interested parties. The advertisement in the Boletin might, in fact, have caused them to believe that the, operation had the assent of the Spanish autho rities. Whatever may be thought of this incident, which proves that Admiral Paniutine has no less need of money than of coal, it is evident that the Russian squadron has failed in the mysterious designs which took it to the Philippines. It is known, besides, that the English fac tories have taken energetic measures to baffle all its enterprizes, and that the naval forces of France and England have gone in search of it in the Pacific. THE RUSSIANS IN THE PACIFIC. The following " General Memorandum" has been issued by the English Admiral : _ " Her Majesty's Ship President, at Callao, May 9. " Tho Rear-Admiral Commander-in-Chief desires to inform the captains, commanders, officers, seamen, and marines serving on board her Majesty's ships and vessels under his command that he has received directions from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to comply with the orders contained in a letter received from her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, conveying the Queen's commands that we should forthwith commence and execute all such hostile measures as may be in our power, and not at variance with the orders paised by her Majesty in Council, against Russia, and against all ships belonging to the Em peror of Russia or to his subjects, or others inhabiting within any of his countries, territories, or dominions. " In carrying out these instructions the Rear-Admiral desires to record his opinion that there will be much to be done upon this station by the squadron under his orders ; that Great Britain has a right to expect from it a proper ac count of the Russian frigates that are known to be now upon the station, as well as of the numerous privateers that it is known soon will be. " The Rear-Admiral relies with confidence upon the assist ance that will be afforded by each of the officers, seamen, and marines of the squadron, towards fully and effectually carrying out' all that their gracious Queen and country will expect of them ; and, as the time is now close at hand when some of the squadron may calculate upon being in action with some of the enemy's ships of war, he feels assured that all will unite in taking such steps as are necessary, by daily., practice and other means, which, added to their charac teristic bravery, will be calculated to render them not only superior to their enemy, but inferior to none in the world. " D. PRICE, Rear-Admiral, Commander-in-Chief. " To the Captains, Officers, Seamen, and Marines serving in the squadron, ou the Pacific station." ARRIVAL 01" T_HE ORINOCO. SOUTHAMPTON, J UNE 22.—The Royal mail steam-ship Orinoco, Captain Wilson, arrived at Southampton yester day morning from Malta and Gibraltar. This ship was selected to carry out the British portion of the expedition to Greece, and left Southampton with sealed orders on the morning of the 21st of May. Having called at Gibraltar and Malta, the Orinoco arrived at the Piraeus on the after noon of the 4th of June, but owing to its being Sunday the troops did not land until the afternoon of the next day. Every assistance was afforded by the French Admiral, whose flag was flying in the French steamer Gomer, in whose boats, and in those of her Majesty's ship Leander, the troops were landed. The Austrian corvette Minerva, also sent a boat to assist in the disembarkation. Some idea may be formed of the nature of the arrangements from the fact, that although the Orinoco was lying nearly half a mile from the lauding-place, the time occupied in disembarking the'troops, consisting of over 1,100 men, was only one hour and 20 minutes. The English soldiers were received on landing by a French regiment, who with their band playing, preceded them to their encampment. The King and Queen of Greece 'were at Athens when the Orinoco left ; but the French troops were in possession of all the heights and important posts about the Piraeus. The following vessels of war were at the Piraeus :—Her Majesty's ship Leander, 50, French steam-frigate Gomer, French Fr e o r e v n e c t h t e R s e a e r r A e u d s m e i r ti a l in , F e r r i e c n a c n h f s r t i e g a a m t e sCl b earingUool lb N er t a rh i P s a 50 , with ofre broad pendant of Commodore String ham, American steam corvette Saranac, Austrian corvette Minerva. The Orinoco has brought home a large quantity of Go vernment old stores, invalids from the naval and military hospitals at Malta, also 170 women and 300 children be longing to the regiments ordered to the East. Notwith standing the large number of children and invalids brought home by this ship, no death has occurred, nor has any symptom of serious illness taken place. It is worthy of remark that since the Orinoco has been specially employed by tho Government she has conveyed to the seat of war and safely landed 4,650 souls, without a single death, acci dent, or casualty of any description. The following are the steam-ships belonging to South hampton at present employed in the transport service of the Government in the Mediterranean and Black Sea : West India mail steamer Trent; Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Himalaya ; General Screw Steam Shipping Company's ships Hydaspes, Golden Fleece, Jesons and Harbinger. NOTTINGHAM TRADE.—The only amount of trade which relieves the existing prostration consists of what some German and American houses are nominally doing, and is, on all hands, spoken of more in the light of retail than of general trade. Still a little more buoyancy of feeling has, somehow or other, been produced amongst merchants, without any possible improve ment in business to which we can point.

She took no notice of the observation, as she considered it merely the result of despondency, and never for a moment suspected he intended to destroy few years since it was stated he hanging. Upon leaving his Oster attemptedllislife:in-law's, he went home and retired to rest. The following morning suspicion was aroused at his non appearance, r anee and, on his room being entered , the un fortunate man was discovered lying on the floor in a large pool of blood, which had flowed from a small wound made with a razor in the side of the neck. Dr. Josephs, w ho was instantly called in, found him dead. A basin, half full of blood, also stood on a chair near the de9 amm ce ased, and Dr. Josephs, upon a subsequent ex • a tion, discovered that the act was a most Vb de i erate one, made a wretched man having stood over the basin and a small incision in the jugular vein, from which blood rapidly flowed, causing exhaustion and dea th. The post mortent examination showed su ffi c i en t d . ato morbid p r ove that the deceased suffered from a Imes magi tion, and the jury unhesitatingly returned ine._ a verdict of "Insanity." CHURCH RATES.—At a vestry meeting of the inhabi tants of St. Anne's parish, Soho, it was resolved unani mously, that " Church rates are vexatious, uojust, and unnecessary.
