In the House of Lords, Lord BROUGHAM moved the' second reading of a Bill for digesting and simplifying the civil and criminal statutes, His Lordship entered at considerable length into the anomalous, disjointed, and often absurd laws which the people of this' coun try were bound to obey, though they did noi—nay even: the best lawyers did not—know one half of them. Many of these laws - had be come o b so l ete, yet on certain occasions they were revived, an some unfortunate person or another was caught b some legislative enactme nt which, till the moil). nt of t punishment, had neve r been he ard of by ariy man living. He moved that the Bill be re ad asecond time pro forma, in order that it might be referred to a Select Committee. The LORD CHANCELLOR paid a high compliment to Lord BROUGIIAM for his able exposition of the pre sent defective state of the law, and said there could be no doubt as to the expediency of that part of this Bill which related to the criminal law, for many of the enactments were a disgrace to the statute-book, but he doubted the expediency of applying the same rule to the common law. He did not think that much benefit would be derived by sending the Bill to a Select Committee, and would rather prefer that it should stand aver till next session. In the meantime Government would turn their attention to the sub ject. Another reason for postponing the measure was, that the Commissioners who were engaged on the subject would complete their labours before next session, and thereby enable all interested in a reform of such importance to have the ix st means of carrying it out with effect. After a few remarks by Lord DmiziAri and Lord , CAMPBELL, the Bill was read a second time, and the House adjourned. In the Commons, Mr. TIIESIGER took his seat for Abingdon ; and Mr. SCOTT MURRAY, one of the Members for Bucks, who has become a Papist, took the oath administered to Catholics. A new writ was ordered for. Launceston, in the room of Sir IL HARDINGE. Lord ASHLEY presented petitions from several places in Lancashire, in favour of a Ten Hours' Fac tories Bill. _ Mr. WYsE gave notice that, on Wednesday, he should move for a Select Committee on Art-Unions. In answer to a question from Colonel WOOD, Sir J. GRAIIAM said a Bill, founded on the report of the Welch Commissioners relative to the late disturbances, was in preparation, and would be introduced next week. Mr. LIDDELL complained bitterly, amidst loud laughter, of the attacks made upon him in the news papers in reference to his speech on the Factories Bill, and said he had never, on any one occasion, given the slightest symptom that he would support a Ten Hours' Bill. Mr. MILNEs opened the adjourned debate on the Factories Bill, and strongly supported the amend ment of Lord ASHLEY. Mr. WARD opposed the amendment. Mr. M`GEAcity and Mr. lIAwEs supported it, and Mr. M. SUTTON, as a Member of the Government, of course declared his intention of voting against it. Lord POLLINGTON and Mr. S. WORTLtY, though both strong supporters of the Government, took the humane side of the question. The former, in reply to an assertion that if Lord ASHLEY'S motion was car ried, the corn-laws must be repealed, manfully declared that if the corn-laws rested on such a rotten founda tion, he would be the first to vote for their repeal. Sir R. PEEL entered into a number of statistical details, to sbOw the hazard and impolicy of interfering with the trade of the country to the extent proposed by Lord ASHLEY, and expressed his determination to oppose the amendment. Lord J. RUSSELL followed. Ile went into some statements to prove that the proposed limitation of the hours of labour would not be productive of the evils anticipated, and concluded by stating his intention to vote for the clause. After a few remarks from Sir R. INGLIS, the House divided, when the numbers were— For Lord Ashley's clause .. 159 Against it Majority against the clause .... - 138 A clause proposed by Mr. BROTIIERTON was nega tived without a division. Mr. GRANGER then moved additions of words to clauses 4, 45, 69, and 70, which were carried. On a division the Bill was passed by a majority of 129. The House then, at Two o'Clock, adjourned. Though in common, no doubt, with the majority of our readers,, we anticipated a majority against Lord ASHLEY'S clause in the Factories Bill, 'yet we could have had no idea that that majority would have been so great as the result of last night's division proves it to have been. How many Tories, like Mr. GALLY KNIGHT, must have apostatised from the faith which they maintained—in direct opposition to Ministers — hut three short weeks since ! How many must have abandoned their own solemn and deliberate convic tions, and unhesitatingly given up their conscience into the keeping of Government, ere such an untoward, triumph could hare been achieved! The tergiversation has not been a retail, but a wholesale, one. It has not been exhibited in a reluctant, shrinking spirit, but with the most intrepid effrontery it is possible to conceive. Scarcely a single Tory apostate seems to have thought it worth his while even to apologise for his apostacy. What a humiliating potion does this give us of the honesty and morality of the House of Commons ! Who henceforth will place faith in its consistency ? Who henceforth will deem it capable of being influenced by any other motives than those of truckling •expedi ency? We look on the result of last night's division as furnishing a stronger argument in favour of Chartism than any that has taken place since the Reform 'Bill. The Premier has evidently inoculated the House with his own convenient and accom modating views of legislation. He has brought the doctrine of expediency into fashion among Hon. Members, and lofty, unbending, comprehensive prin ciple must no more be looked for among the majority of the British Senate. The House, in fact, has ceased to be the House of the People. It has be come the great manufacturing firm of PEEL and Co. It professes to have no interests incompatible with his—to hazard no experiments but. such as he ap proves—to entertain no opinions but such as are part and parcel of his own idiosyncrasy. He—and he only —is its " Sir Oracle"—its golden Calf—before whom it bows down in abject idolatry. Does any man' doubt this ? - Let him read Sir R. PEEL'S speech last ,night, more especially the bullying threat with which it concluded; let him mark, too, the.direct, the im mediate influence which this threat produced on the votes, and he will at once see hew complete is the vassalage in which the Tamworth Doctor holds the British Commons. One of the strongest pOints—or rather that which he intended to be the strongest—in, the Premier's speech, was that where he essayed to prove the impolicy and hazard of interfering be tween the manufacturers and their workpeople. The point-Was adroitly put, and produced an evident im pression on the House ; but as a strong, valid argu ment it is worth just nothing at all. Indeed, we re gard the whole doctrine of non-interference With such momentous public questions as the Factory Bill, as being neither more nor less than a piece of con temptible cant, without a leg to stand on, inasmuch as Parliament has never hesitated to interfere with the best interests of the people, whenever it suited it,s own purposes to do so. What was the corn law, but a direct, arbitrary interference with the price of the poor man's loaf? What is the Rural Police, but a direct interference—we might almost say—with his ordinary liberty of action—a system of petty espiomwge originating in distrust of principles and his nature ? What are the In closure Acts, but another direct interference with one . of the few remaining priVileges that the law has left in his possession? Parliament never hesitates an instant to interfere against the poor man's interests; but when it is proposed to interfere in his behalf, then a -howl is get up that the principle is a dangerous one, and must be discountenanced at all risks! We .have no patience 'With this mean—partialone-sided system of policy —this craven doctrine of non-interference, which owns no nobler inspiration than that dry saw-dust which does duty for brains in the skull of a Political Economist ! Possibly before the session closes, some Tory Member, who voted against Lord ASHLEY, may deem it his duty to direct the attention of the House to the necessity of ethicating the poor, benighted factory children, and take credit to himself for the • humanity Of his motion. The question has been mooted more than once already, and we scarcely think it will be allowed to drop. But mark the absurdity not_ to say the insulting irony- 7 of such' a proposition !. How are the Young operatives to be educated, when they. are engaged the whole live-long day in the fac tory ? Where is the time to be found for their instruction ? , Who is to furnish them with the brisk, unjaded faculties the fresh, vigorous state of body, so necessary to their intellectual improvement? The proposition, regarded even in the most favourable light, is a mere wanton, heartless hypocrisy ; and,. if brought forward,,as we strongly suspect it will be,' will meet with its fittest treatment in the laughter and contempt of every right-minded and consistent Member. Madrid papers of the 6th have been received, but they contain no revs. The Spanish Funds still continued low,' without any appearance of improvement. On the 6th the Three per Cents. closed at 29 for cash, and 29i at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 21 for cash, and 21i at 60 days. The discussion in the French Chamber of Deputies was continued on Saturday, when an amendment to confinement, the Ministerial plan was moved, to the effect that the cellular system, meaning solitary en not be extended at present to the central and should . not ro vincial prisons. Th is was o pp osed b y the Minister of the Interior, and on a division rejected, so that all persons condemned to Lard labour (travaux forces) for any term exceeding one y ear, shall be shut up night and day in separate cells. The horrible cruelty of such a law, we trust, will awaken the attention of the French public to the subject. On Saturday M VzuuzoT, the editor of the Univers, and M. BARRIER, the responsible agent for that paper, were indicted for publishing the pamphlet of the Abbe CHAMBALOT, entitled the " Liberty of Education," and a verdict of guilty was returned. The Court sentenced them to be imprisoned for one month and pay a fine of 3,000 f. each. The following reports from Italy appear in the Courrier Francais :—" Se veral vessels, it is said, have sailed from Corfu, - without their destination being known. It is feared that these vessels have been freighted by some political refugees, with the view of effecting a landing in Italy. What in some degree corroborates this opinion is, that in a printing-office at Malta, the police has seized a large number of proclamations, which were to have been disseminated in Sicily and on the Italian continent, and in which the people were exhorted to rise and recover their independence and liberty. Almost all the refugees have left Malta, where the English police molested them, and exercised over them a troublesome surveillance. On the application of Prince DE METTERNICH, the Austrian subjects of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, who had retired to the lonian Islands, have been expelled from thence." At TORTONI'S, on Sunday, the Three per Cents. were quoted at 84f. 40c. Tim COURT.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert, ac companied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, and attended by the Royal suite, arc expected to leave Buckingham Palace this afternoon for Claremont, where the Royal party are expected to remain until Thursday next. THIS DAY'S NEWS COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL and a Common Jury, at Guildhall.) SKUNDER r. STRATTON. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Warren were for the plain tiff; Mr. Sergeant Channell and Mr. Cole for the defendant. This was an action to recover damages from the defendant, Mrs. Stratton, for an injury done to the plaintiff's horse. It appeared that in the latter part of last year, the defen dant was driving in a phmton from Grosvenor-square, along Mount-street, and as she was turning into South Audley-strect, the shaft of the phaeton struck the plaintiff's horse on the off shoulder, which considerably in jured him. It was proved that the horse, before the injury, was worth 201., and that it was sold afterwards for 50s. It was alleged on the part of the defendant, that the injury arose from the neglect of the plaintiff, who was on the look-out for a fare instead of attending to his horse and cab. The jury retired for a short time, and soon returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 201. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Thomas Leary, a well-known young thief, was charged before Mr. Traill with stealing four pairs of gold ear-rings from the shop of Mr. Morris, jeweller, in Snow's-fields. It appeared that in February last the shop window of Mr. Morris was cut with a glazier's diamond, in which were ex hibited several articles of jewellery. A lad who witnessed the circumstance saw the prisoner and two other boys (since convicted) standing near the complainant's window at the time, and observed one of them introduce a stick with a crook at the end of it into the aperture of the pane of glass, and draw out some gold earrings, which he handed over to the prisoner, who immediately ran away. Two of the offen ders were taken the same evening„ but the prisoner managed to elude-discovery until the preceding night, when he ven tured back to his old quarters, and was taken into custody. The prisoner was remanded to give an opportunity of find ing the stolen articles. Harriet Edwards was charged with striking a woman, named Glindon, with a " life-preserver" on the head, and inflicting a severe wound, from the effects of which she was suffering. The parties, who live in one of those disreputable streets leading out of the Waterloo-road, had a dispute on Sunday night, in the course of which the prisoner and her sister at tacked the complainant and beat her in a very brutal manner. Mr. TRAILL convicted the prisoner, and sentenced her to pay a fine of 31., or be committed for six months. The Magistrate gave directions to apprehend her sister, as she seemed to have been the chief aggressor in the outrage, and said he should commit her for trial. lIIURDER AT BATTERSEA. WANDSWORTH POLICE COURT.-(TIIIS DAY.) This being the day appointed for the re-examination into the circumstances attending the murder of the female, Sarah Eleanor M`Farlane, upon Battersea-bridge, on the night of Monday, April 29, a very great crowd of persons assembled in the street leading to the Court-house, no doubt with the in tention of seeing the prisoner, who was, however, by the admirable arrangements of Superintendent Bicknell, who is entrusted with the getting up of the case, brought down as early as eight o'clock, and lodged in a house adjacent, until the hour appointed for opening the Court. . . . . . . . Soon.after ten o'clock Mr. Clive entered and took his seat on the bench, and a few night charges having been heard, the prisone: was then brought in and placed at the bar. He exhibited the same nonchalance that had before so much dis tinguished his conduct. , Mr. Gilliam, his solicitor, had been in attendance at an early hour. Timothy Wells, 83 V, was the first witness examined— Remembers the 29th of April, and was on duty on the Chel sea side of Battersea-bridge that evening. It mit be a quarter before eleven when I heard the cries of "Murder," apparently from the bridge. The voice sounded like that of a young girl's, and when I ran on the bridge I met a young • girl with a horse and cart. I asked her if she had called " Murder?" She said she had. I asked why? She replied, because her father got out of the cart, and would not come along. She said Pais was all she cried murder for, and I then got back on the Chelsea side. Soon after a man came running, and asked if a horse and cart and girl had passed over. I said yes, and he then drove back the horse and cart again. I asked him if anything was wrong over the bridge, and he said a woman had got her head he if cut off. I said why did you not tell me so before, and I ran over to the toll-house and saw a pool of blood, found the wo inan in the Swan, and then rau for a superior officer, Sergeant No. 14 V. By Mr. Gilliam—,Do not recollect seeing the witness Cook, and am sure that he did not speak to we on the bridge. _John Timmons—l am a carman to Mr. Halding, coal mer chant. Remember the night of the 29th of April. Was the worse for liquor, but knew what I was about. Was standing on that night at my master's stables, in Duke-street. I was standing with James Cook, and heard a man call " Police," who afterwards said a woman had cut her throat on Batter sea-bridge. No one was with me but Cook. The man called " Police, police," aloud, " a woman has cut her throat on Battersea-bridge." Those were the words he said. lld stood against the. church wall, at the corner of Church -street, when I saw him. He had on a surtout coat, but I would not know him again. I then went to attend to my work. By Mr..Gilhain-,-Cook had been with me about five mi nutes. I can't sayhow long he was with me. I am sure it was after half-past 'ten, because I had brought my horses home, and before I got to the stables I heard ten strike. I was in the King's-road when it struck. No one but Cook and I were together. Cook and I have spoken about the thing since he was brought.up : here. The only thing I had drank was beer, but I could both stand steadily and my work. The man was not running when I saw him ; he was standing ,when he said the woman had cut her throat. I did not see where Cook went, to, as at that moment I turned and went to finish my work. Wells recalled—lmmediately on seeing the man with the cart, I went to the toll-house. Know Cook, but did not see him on that night. Cook recalled, Wells—l did pot to my, knowledge see this man Cook, but, he might have stun over the bridge with the other pe rsons ' who followed me immediately. William Evelio, :a boy of 15, was next called, and after being examinee as to the nature and obligation of an oath, said, that he lived:in Alanners'atreet,,Chelsea, and about 25 minutes to eleven, Ctiy,,,a man .and worDan standing on the bridge. A few.tinialitea.after heardia faint scream, and saw the woman run from the top of the bridge towards the toll house. She was running towards the toll-house when Mr. Hall caught her. The woman had a straw-bonnet and dark 'shawl. He thought it was the same woman who screamed that lie afterwards 'saw at the toll-house. I thought she said :at the toll-gate that:" a man had cut her throat," she said, " Cut my throat." Did not see the man when the woman was running. By Mr. Gilhatn—Two .minutes after I saw the man and woman together, I • heard the scream, but did not see the man then.... By Mr. Cuvg-4 saw them together, but had my eyes off them just before I heard the Ecream. . Superintendent Bicknell, was recalled, and his evidence respecting the letters produced yesterday was read over. On the. Tuesday morning following the murder went over the bridge and found the first spot of blood near the first lamp post. on the Middlesex side. Traced it to within fourteen or fifteen yards of the Battersea toll-gate, and there I found a pool of it, not on the side-walk but in the centre of t he road. By Mr. CLIVE-4ie first spot of blood was nearer the Middlesex than the Surrey side. I should think that a per son standing at the toll-house might see two persons stand ing at that lamp. I do not think, however, they would see the whole as they would be down a declivity. I saw another pool of blood about seven yards from the toll-house, and another at the toll-gate. Wm. Daniel Andrews, living at Bolingbroke Gardens, Bat tersea, was at home in bed when he heard of the deceased's death. She is my sister, and her name is Sarah Eleanor. I found the paper produced, marked No. 11, in the deceased's clothes' chest, at her house, 13, Bridge-road, Battersea. I gave it to Mr.. Bicknell, the superintendent, on the Tuesday i morning. The paper was then read in Court, and ran thus : . "To hll those whom it may . concern, I hereby declare that I have made a Solemn promise to Sarah Eleanor M'Far lane to marry her, and for that purpose I have published the banns in the church of Kensington, and rimy° also bound myself in the sum of 5001. in the current money of the realm, not to marry any other person, and in case o f my decease before such fulfilment of my promise, I annex my will, by which -I give to Sarah Eleanor . M‘Fprbine all pro perties am now possessed of, or may get afterwards by inheritance or otherwise. My present property, consisting of two dwelling-houses in my native city of Tours on the Loire, in the kingdom of France, now in trust of Jean Landed, I so bequeath ; as also all moneys, or any other my personal property." (Signed by Augustus Dalmas, and addressed to the de ceased. The will was dated the 12th of March, 1844). Richard Messenger was then called, and gave similar evi dence to what he had before given. He had seen a man looking over the bridge, and found the wounded woman at the toll-house. Would not know the man again. • Mrs. Messenger was also called, but neither could she identify the party. Frances Scott, housekeeper to Mrs. D'Oyley, of Bolton place, merely proved that the deceased had come with the prisoner's youngest daughter, on the night of the murder, and that the deceased had 'waited about ten minutes, and then went off. Witness observed a man walking before the house. Would not know him again. By Mr. Gilham—Prisoner's daughter had afterwards discharged herself.. She had not been told to go and see her father hanged. Edward Tyne, 25, Montpelier-square—ls a licensed victualler there. On the evening of the 29th of April, I should say about a. quarter past eleven, the prisoner at the bar came in and asked for half a pint of beer and a pipe of tobacco, lie then went away. M op ary sh " , " 5, ---- ence—ia in street, a Russell -s a n t ar th e, e I H w om ee e n o p f tPn thelenty coffee morning of Tuesday, th e 30th of April, at 5 o'clock. When I went to take the shutters down, I saw a man standing alone under the arch. Fiye minutes evi rw ard s , he came in THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 14, 1844. and asked for coffee. He went out, as it was not ready, and came in twenty minutes after. He saw a policeman passing, and he turned his face away from him, then pulled out a penny, threw it down, and went away again. The witness was directed to look round and see if she could identify the person. She could not, and Mr. Clive at once directed that her evidence should be struck out. John Bobert Davies, a pawnbroker's assistant, produced a dress coat pledged at 4 o'clock on the 30th of April, the day after the murder. It was pledged by the prisoner in the name of John Watt. There were stains upon the sleeve, but did not think they were those of blood. William Cumming, sergeant, 3 D, was then called, and his evidence was read over to him. It simply stated that the prisoner had surrendered himself at the Marylebone station, and made a statement in which he denied that he had at all gone upon the bridge with the female, and that his daughter Augusta was the only witness who had spoken truth. Mr. Gosling was then recalled, and identified several letters as some of those he had received from the deceased's brother, Andrews. Among them were those marked 12 and 13. Augusta Dalmas proved them to be in her father's hand writing. The letters were then read. The first was addressed to his "ardently-beloved Sarah," and concluded "Tour affec tionate husband, Augustus Dalmas." The second was signed "Tour most affectionate, A. D." They contained references to his daughters, and a desire that the deceased would meet him at a place appointed, that he might introduce her to " Dr. Morrison as a most respectable widow, and who was acquainted with the most religious persons in Battersea." Charlotte, the prisoner's eldest daughter, was then called in, and briefly confirmed her evidence taken on the last occasion. All the witnesses, thirty-two in number, were then called in and sworn, when the evidence was read over seriatim. On reading over the evidence of the witness Cook, and where ho stated that " he had told the potman at the Swan that he had on the same night (the night of the murder) seen a man (Dalmas), who had said that a woman had cut her throat upon the bridge," Mr. CLIVE asked what was the man named to whom the communication had been made, and being answered Good child, directed that he should be called as a witness at the Old Bailey. After the witnesses had been bound over to attend at the trial, Mr. CravE asked the prisoner if he had anything to say in defence ? _ _ ..._____ Mr. Gilliam said that his client, by his advice, had deter mined to reserve any defence for another court. The prisoner was then removed. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday was dull and heavy. Sales 3,500 bags,' all to the trade, at id. per lb. decline, owing to the accounts from the United States, advising large receipts at the principal ports ; 100 bales were Pernambuco, at sid to Sid ; 200 Bahia, at Sid to 6d; 100 Egyptian at 7d to 84d ; 300 Surat at 34d to 4id, and the rest American.--Shares continued firm for French, and most other stocks were rather better.

The opposition offered by only three parties out of so large a Pro prietary as those who hold Bank Stock can scarcely be considered as having any weight at all, and indeed, if the Governor had early in the day ex pressed his strong opinion upon the impossibility of having better terms, it is probable that even Mr. Cook an d Mr. Blackburn would not have offered the slightest objec tion to the motion for accepting the terms of Government. As it is the proprietary, and indeed the public at large, may congratulate themselves upon the first step being taken for placing the currency of the country upon what may be con sidered a sound foundation. The West India body are again in the field, as strongly as heretofore, in favour of protection to their monopoly. [They are about to petition the Legislature against any alteration in the duties on sugar, coffee, and cocoa, unless the present rate of import is diminished pro rata with that of foreign growth. To the general body of consumers of those articles, it mstters not how low the duty is, but after having received twenty mil lions sterling, it is rather too bad that the planters and mer chants interested in the British West India Colonies should in the present clay boldly come forward to ask further conces sions in their favour. We have advices from Buenos Ayres to-day, to the 18th February. The petty warfare that has so long disorganised this part of the New World continued ; and, of course, the operations in the commercial and mercantile world were all but entirely suspended. The value of Consols has remained very steady to day, at 9981, both for Money and Account. The premium upon Exchequer Bills is on the decline. '[he variations to•day have been from 745. to 695. premium. Bank Stock has been heavy at 193. At the same time it ought to be remarked that there is a very general approval of the course adopted by the Court of Pro prietors, in accepting the terms proposed by Govern ment for the renewal of the charter. The Commissioners bought 30,0001. Reduced Three per Cents. at 99. In the Foreign Market the transactions have been few. Spanish Three per Cents. have fluctuated from 354 to 3G. The Active Bonds have been very steady at 24i. Mexi cans have been at . 353 g, Belgian at 103, and Dutch Five per Cents. at 100,4 4. • There is a good demand for Railway Shares to-day ; London,and Birmingham, Birmingham and Gloucester, and other leading lines, have found a ready sale. Union Bank of Australia Shares are at 14 premium. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official Lid.) Bank Stock ' 193% 193 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 3 per Cent. Consols.

TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. The subscription room was fully attended until between six and seven o'clock, and some progress was made in comparing books on the two great events to come off next week, a ceremony that every prudent man will take care to complete on Thursday. Of betting we have little to say. The two favourites were steady at the prices last reported in this paper ; the Buck with eager supporters at 5 to 2 and 9 to 4, and Ratan at 13 to 4 and 7 to 2. We were informed that.l,ooo to 500 was laid against one,' and 1,500 to 500 against the other, between the same parties. Orlando was backed at 16 and 17 to 1, lonian at 20 to 1 in fifties early in the day, and at 25 to 1 towards evening. Akbar freely at 25 to 1, Qui Tam at 1,000 to 30, and Foig-a-Ballagh at 35 to 1 in fifties. The prices returned against Leander, Bay Momus, T'Auld Squire, and Mount Charles are nominal.

Died suddenly, at Ealing, on Saturday, Edward Percy Sinnett, Esq., of 9, Ehrenberg-terrace, Regent's Park, aged 47, an able and much-respected member of the metro- politan newspaper press. For some weeks past Mr. Sinnett had shown symptoms of declining health, which indicated a gradual breaking-up of the constitution. Though most zealous and anxious in the discharge of his duties, and un willing to quail under a debility which he fondly believed to be only temporary, he was nevertheless persuaded to abstain from active exertion, and especially from night employment, and it was hoped, even by his family and friends scarcely less than by himself, that retirement, change of scene, and fresh air, were exercising over him a.restorative influence, when, suddenly, the lamp of life went out, an apoplectic shock hav ing been the immediate cause of death. He has gone to the grave early, but few have descended into it more fully in possession of the respect and affection of friends and family connections, and none, perhaps, ever more thoroughly de served them. In addition to invaluable qualities of head and heart, Mr. Sinnett's learning, extensive information, and professional experience as a public writer and Parliamentary reporter, readered his services an acquisition to a public journal. His knowledge of the modern languages, as well as of classical literature, gave him great advantages, of which he never failed to make an effective use. For some time he held high and honourable appointments upon several eminent continental journals; but the last years of his life were de voted to the London press. He ended his unostentatious, though not inglorious, career upon the Morning Herald ; and the proprietor of that journal joins the colleagues of the de ceased in offering to his memory a tribute of sincere regard and unaffected regret : "No sculptured trophies may . his tomb adorn, . But the heart will pour its incense there." THE LATE CHILD MURDER AND MUTILATION AT Mimi-Tux COURT.—Yesterday, Mr. P. J. Manning, the Co roner of the Queen's household, held an inquest at the Can teen, in the fore-court of Hampton-Court Palace, on the mutilated remains of a male infant, the principal portions of which have been recently found in a sewer belonging to the palace, and upon which Mr. T. Wakley held an inquest at the Mitre-inn, on Tuesday last, the 7th, instant. The un usual circumstance of two inquests being held on the same remains, and the dispute between the county and Crown Coroners as to their relative jurisdictions, has greatly in creased the interest excited throughout the neighbourhood, and the inquest-room was crowded by respectable persons. It will be recollected, that at the first meeting of the jury on Wednesday last, the inquiry was adjourned until yesterday, in consequence of Mr. Wakley, at the conclusion of his in quest, having sealed up the jar in which the portions of the body were contained, which seal the police refused to allow to be broken. Yesterday, on Mr. Manning taking his seat, he handed to Inspector Dowsett, V division, his warrant for delivering up the jar, which was thereupon brought into the Court, and afterwards opened: A good deal of evidence, but none throwing any light upon the subject, was brought forward. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown." The Coroner then ordered the remains to be replaced in the jar, and having.resealed it, gave it into the hands of the police. The inquiry occupied four hours. CHANGE IN THE MAIL TRAINS.—The Earl of Lonsdale, the Postmaster-General, has given notice, that on and from to-morrow, the 15th inst., several changes will take place in the departure of the morning mail trains by the Great Western Railway. The most important one is that to and from Exeter, the line now being finished, the up-day mail-train, from Devonport to Bristol, is to leave Exeter at 46 minutes past 12, instead of 30 minutes past eleven, as at present, which will require the London train from Bristol (at 30 minutes past two) to be one hour and ten minutes later, leaving at 40 minutes after three, and arriving at the t er minus at Paddington at 15 minutes past eight, instead of minutes past seven. The night mail up will leave Exeter at 35 minutes after nine, and arrive at Paddington at 45 minutes past four, instead of 20 minutes past five. Several changes are also to be made in the Folkestone and Dover Railway, the French mail having been received yesterday morning for the first time by that route, instead of by coach through Canterbury. On the Eastern Counties arrangements are going on for expediting the morning mails, which will be a great convenience to the public in the transmission of letters and newspapers to places at present having only one delivery dailv. DESTRUCTION OF LYNN' COBB, BY FIRB.—The Stag, revenue cruiser, just arrived from the westward, reports that when off Lynn Cobb, on Saturday, the 11th, at thirty minutes past nine, A.M., in company with the Adelaide, saw a fire, and manned their boats and landed to give assistance. No fire-engines could be procured till eleven o'clock, and then no supply of water. They remained assisting, by attempting to cut off the communication between the houses, until seven o'clock, when they were obliged to leave for the Isle of Wight, the fire still raging. The fire broke out at a baker's, and was carried by a strong north-east wind to ether houses and the Custom-house, which, with about sixty other houses and taverns, was destroyed. There appeared great apathy on the part of the inhabitants. The boatswain of the Stag and several others were severely scorched ; one man was much injured by falling from a house, but it is believed no lives were lost. The damage done was reported to exceed 60,0001. The surrounding hills were lined with ladies and gentlemen, looking on this town on fire. Accounts have since been re ceived that the fire was eventually got under.—From a Cor respondent. NOVEL FEAT OF PEDESTRIANISM.--Yesterday a large number of persons assembled at the Princess Royal public-house, Westbonni-green, Bayswater, to witness the performance of a match, made by Molloy, the pedestrian, for his son, a boy of 14 years, to pick up with his mouth, and without the use of his hands, 100 eggs, placed on the ground at a yard apart from each other, and to deposit them in a basket placed at one end. At five o'clock he commenced his task, by going down upon his knees, picking up the egg with his mouth, and bringing it away and dropping it in the basket placed at the end. He continued at his Herculean undertaking until he had cleared the whole number of eggs, and which he accomplished in fifty minutes. During the performance of the feat he.had to go over 5 miles, 5 furlongs, and 200 yards of ground. He appeared much exhausted to wards the conclusion, but the ambition of winning soon re stored him. Mr. Milner Gibson is absent from his Parliamentary duties, in consequence of the death of a near relative. We understand that Admiral Bowles has accepted the seat at the Admiralty, vacated by the appointment of Sir G. Seymour to the Pacific. On Thursday afternoon a child, about two years old, unfortunately fell into the Grand Surrey Canal, near the wooden bridge leading over to the Victualling-office. It was rescued from a watery grave by the admirable conduct of Mr. Oliver ' a retired gentlemen, in the 86th year of his age, who intrepidly leaped into the water and brought the child on shore, and in the space of an hour it was quite re- Awed. Such heroic conduct lowa], worthy of record. SUMAARY OF NEWS AIN1) Vulatt Opintoit. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN.
