LP* HoUsenf LordS, Lord BROUGTIAIII moved the second reading.of a Bill f o r di g e s ti ng an d s implifyi ng the tiViland criminal statutes . His Lordship entered at considerable length into the anomalous, disjointed,. and" Often als,surd . lawa which the people of this coun try Were bo u nd to ob e y; t h ough they ' d id - not—na y even - ' the best lawyers did not—know one half of them. Many-of these laws had become obsolete, yet on certain occasions they were revived, and some •! unfortunate person o r anot h er was caught by some legislative enactment which, till the moment •of pnili3 -binent had never been h ea rd of by any man 11 i . He moved that The Bill be read a second time pro forma, in order that it might be referred to a Select committee. a high compli rnerit The LORD C HANC ELLOR paid Lord BROUGIIASI for his able exposition of the pre sent defective state of the law, and said there could be no dOjibt as to the expediency of that part of this Bill which related to the criminal law, for many of the erio.tinents 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 ben* would , be deriVed .by sending the Bill to a Select Committee, and would rather prefer that it should stand over till next ,session. In the meantime GoternMent would turn :their ,attention to the sub ject._ AnothFr reason for postponing the measure was , that th ,* 3 toinmissioners who W e r e e ngaged on the subject would complete their labours before next sess.lop,*and thereby enable all i n t eres t e d i n a re f orm of sualkili t portance to have the best means of carryi ng it outvith effect: After g fe* remarks by L •ord DENMAN and Lord CAMPBELL, the Bill was read a second time, and the House adjourned. --- In the Commons, Mr. TRESIGER took hig 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. NYSE gave notice that, on Wednesday, he should move for a Select Committee on Art-Unions: In answer to .a question from Colonel Woon, Sir J. GRAHAM said e, 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 slighthst syMptom that he would support a Ten Hours' Bill. Mr. Mums opened the adjourned debate on the Factories Bill, and strongly supported the amend ment of Lord ASHLEY. Mr. WARD opposed the amendment. Mr. M‘GRACELY and Mr. , supported it, and Mr.. .M. SirroN, as a Member of the Government, of course declared his intention of voting.against it. - Lord POLLINOTON and Mr. S. WORTLEY, 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, manfally 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 'lumber of statistical details, to show 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. He,-went into some statements to.prove that the proposed limitation of the hours of labour would not be prodlictive of the evils anticipated; and concluded by stating his intention to vote for the clause. After a few remarks from Sir R. T.rmus, the House divided, when the numbers were— For Lord Ashley's clause - .. 159 Agairist it Majority against the clause • -= 138 A clause proposed by Mr. BROTUERTON 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 COMMIX!, no doubt, with the majority of our readers,. we anticipated a - Majority against Lord Asuz.nx . 'S ,clause • in the Factories Bill, yet we could have had no idea that that majority would have been so great as the resuit'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 — but. threti short Weeks since !' Hriii'inany must haVe abandoned their own solemn and deliberate convic tions, and unhesitatingly given tip-their' conscience' into the keeping of GOVernnient, ere such an "untoward triumph could have been achieved ! 'The tergiveriation has not beetia retail, but a vvholeSale one. It' haS not been exhibited in a reluCtant, shrinking spirit; but with the most intrepid effrontery it is possible to conceive:' Scarcely a tingle Tory apostate seems to have thought . it worth his vithife.even to apologise for his apostacy. What A humiliating notion 'does "this, give us, of .the. honesty and morality of the House of :Commons I Who heneeforth 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 Chartisin thin :any that has taken place. since 'tiles RefOim Bill. The - 'Pr6nier 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 }louse, in fact, has ceased to be the- House of the People. hag be come the great. Men'tifaefifring . firin: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 Oreele"—its golden :Calf-r-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 lin mediate influence which this threat produced on the votes, and he will at once see how 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—ln 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 ndn-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 its 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 espionnage originating in distrust of his 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 pobr man's interests ;but when it is proposed to interfere in his belialf, thence ho . 'wlis got up that the principle is. a dangerous . one, W and must be discountenanced at all risks! We have no patience with ,this mearipartial—one-Sided system of tlo t licy.' —thisCraveri doctrine of non-interference,- which owns not nobler - inspiration than that dry saw-dust which dots duty for brains in the skull of a 'Political Economist!" Possibly before the session closes, some Tory Member, who voted against Lord Asmir, may deem it his duty to direct the attention of the House to the necessity of educating the poor; benighted faCtory children; and take Credit to himself for the humanity of his motion. The question has been mooted'niore than once already, and wescarcely think it will be allowed to drop. •But mark the absurdity— not to say the insulting irony—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, jegard&l even in the most favourable light, is is inere 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 news. • 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 21-1- at 60 days. Th .e discussion in the French i hamber of Deputies an amendment to the Alini4erial plan was mo;ed,tothot was continued on Saturde` the effect that the e Minister n , s d h p o li r o l E d ! cellular system, meaning solitary not be extended at present to cen t ra l th: nn tb e e soth of vincial prisons. This was - oppoied by' to Lard labour (trava ux - forces) the Interior, and on a division' rejected , at all persons condemned for any term exceeding one year, shall be shut up night and day in separate cells. The horrible c rue l ty of such a law, we trust, will awaken the attention of the French public to the subject. On Saturday M VEuLLLOT, the editor of the Univers, and M. autatra, i - y ~ ♦.s the responsille 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 4lalta, 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.

THIS DAY'S NEWS. COMMON PLEAS.--(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at. Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice TENDAL . and a Con - unon Jury, at Guildhall.) SAUNDER V. STRATTON. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Wa rren were f or th e plain tiff; Mr. Sergeant Chaaanell and Mr. Cole for the defendant. Thii 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 phaeton from. Grosvenor-square, along Mount-street, and as she was turning into South Audley r street, the shaft of the phaeton struck the 13laintiff's horse on the off shoulder, which considerably in jured him. It was proved that the horse, before the injury, was worth 20/., and that itwas sold - afterwards for 50s. It was alleged on the part of the defendant, that the injury arose from the, negleet_ of the plainti4; 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;2o/. 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 s h o p - 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 circtunstance saw the prisoner and two other boys (since convicted). standing near the coniplainint'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 discov'ery until the preceding night, when he yen- . tared back to his old quarters, and was taken into custody. The prisoner was remanded tOtiVe an opportunity of find ing the stolen articles. • Harriet Edwaiyis 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 Waterloolroad, , had' a dispute on Sunday night, in the course of which the prisoner and her sister at taciked the complainant•and beat her in a very brutal manner. Mr: 'l'fiAtu, convicted the prisoner, and sentenced her to pay a tine 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. -, MURDER AT BATTERSEA. WANDSWORTH POLICE COURT,—(THIS DAY.) This being the day appointed for the re-examination into the circumstances attending the murder of-the female, Sarah Eleanor BPFirlane, 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 lip 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 prisoner was then brought in and placed at the bar. He exhibited the same nonchalance that had before so much dis tinguished kis 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 seaiside of Battersea-bridge that evening. It might 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 1 ran on the bridg e I m e t a y oung 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 Lis was all . she cried- murder for, and I then - got bat on the Chelsea side. Soon after a man camerunning, 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 hs.lf cutoff. 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 man in the Swan, and then ran -for a superior officer, Sergeant No. 14 V. • • By Mr. Gilliam—Do norrecollect seeing the witness Cook, and am sure that he did no speak to me on the bridge. • ' John Tinimons—l am a carman-to Mr. Halding, coal-mer chant. - Remember the night of the 29th of April.

'No -one was with me -but Cook. The man called " Police, police," aloud, 4 ' a woman - has cut her throat on .Battersea-bridge," Those were the words he said. • He stood *against the church wall,-at the cornerof ChUrch-street, when .I saw him.

I am sure it was after-half-past ten, •because I had ttought my horses home, and before I got to the stables- I heard ten strike.

William Evatis, a boy- of 15, was next called, and after being !eXamined as to the nature and obligation of an oath, said, that he lived in Manners-street, Chelsea, and • about 25 minutes• to eleven,' saw a man and woman standing on the bridge. A few minutes after heard a 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 caughtter, -The woman had a straw-bonnet and dark shawl. He thought it was the same woman who screamed that he 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 - Mn Gilham—Two minutes after I saw the man and woman- together, I heard the scream, -but did-not see the man then, • • ' By Mri CLrve-- - -I saw. them together, but had-my eyes off hem ilk before" heard the scream. - Superintendent Bicknell• was recalled,. and his• evidence respecting tlie 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 Middlesei 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 the road. By Mr.- CrAvE—The first spot of blood was nearer the Middlesec 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. - • • • 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 s - at -her house, 13, Bridge-road, 'Battersea. I gave it to-Mrs Bicknell, the superintendent, on the Tuesday morning: • " - • . The paper was then. read in Court,• and-ran thus,:— , "To all those -whom it may concern,- hereby declare that lhavettiade a solemnpremise to'Sarali Eleanor War lane to marryher, end for , that puipose I, have published the banns in the church of Kensington, and I have also bound myself, in the - slim of - 5001.. •rn the current money of the realm, not to marry any other persons and in ease of-my decease before such fulfilment of my promise, I annex my will, by Which' I give to Sarah Elettnorlil`Farlane all pro perties am now possessed. of, or may get afterwards by inheritance'or otherwise & My present.property, c , onisisting of two dwelling-houses in my native city of Tours on the Loire, in the kingdom of France, now in trust of Jean Landert, I so bequeath ; as also all moneys, or any other my personal property.' . _ (Signed' by Augustus Dahints, 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, heusekeeper -to Mrs. -IVOyley, 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 , pritoner at the bar came in and asked for half a. pint of beer and a- pipe-of e sh tobacco. He , then went away. coffe a Mry,Lawrence—l am a servant at the Home of Ple n ty op, '5, --- street, Russell-square, I was up in the morning of Tuesday, the 30th of April, at 5 o'clock. When I went to: take the shutters down, I saw a man standing alone under the arch. Five minutes afterwards, he came in 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 Robert 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 thebridge wit . 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 Dames 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 "Your affec tionate husband, Augustus Dalmas." The second was signed "Your 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 hes 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 he 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 (Mimes), 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, _ _ Cuv asked the prisoner if he had anything to say in defence? _ _ . - Mr. Gilham said that his client, by his advice, had deter. mined to reserve any defence for another court. • The prisoner was then removed.

As we anticipated yesterday the general body of the Court of Proprietors of Bank Stock accepted the terms of the Pre mier for the renewal of the Charter of the Corporation. 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 Anne, it is probable that even Mr. Cook and 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 eon 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 petitiou the Legislature against any alteration, in the duties on sugar, coffee, and cocoa, unless thepresent rate of import is diinimshedpro rata with that of foreign growth. To the general body ofconsurners of thoSe articles, it matters 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 lilesent_ day boldly come forward to ask further conces sions In their favour. • We have advices from Buenos Ayreato-day, to the 18th February.

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 u n d er a d e bilit y w hi c h h e 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, rendered 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 lie; 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 kis 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 HIMPTOS4 COURT.—Yesterday, Mr. F. J. Manning, the Co roner of the Queen's household, held an, inquest at th e 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 j 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 Cqurt, and afterwards opened: A good deal of evidence, but none throwing any light upon the subject, was brought forward. The jury retuned 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 m ail t ra i ns b y th e 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 L on d on train from Bristol (at 30minutes past two) to be one hour and tee minutes later, leaving at 40 minutes after three, and arriving at the ter 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 daily. --v - DESTRUCTION OF LYNN COBB, BY FIRE.—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.---Front a Cor respondent. NOVEL FEAT or PEDESTRIANISM.—Yesterday a large number of.persons assembled at the Princess Royal public-house, Westbourn-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 y ear o f hi s age, who intrepidly leaped into the water and brought the child on shore, and in thq space of an hour it was quite re stored- Such heroic conduct is well worthy of record.
