The C ommons met at at Four o'clock, Mr. S e 'rgeant MURPHY moved the committal of the Common raw Process (Ireland) Bill. Mr. O'C OWNELL moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be corn Witted that day six months. THE SUN, LONDON, l' EITIRSDAY EVENING JUNE 19, 1845. The amendment was agreed to, and the Bill was, con sequently, lost. The other Common Law Process Bills were likewise thrown out. The Small Debts Bill was ordered to be read a second time that day six months, Mr. F. KELLY giving notice that he should bring in a fresh Bill on the subject on Monday. The adjourned debate on Mr. C. BULLER'S motion on the subject of New Zealand was resumed by Captain Rolls, who defended Captain FITZROY, and vituperated in the strongest terms the conduct of the New Zealand Company. Mr. AGLIONBY had never regretted his connexion with the New Zealand Company, which was composed of honourable and high-minded men, united together, for the purpose of carrying out a benevolent object. The complaints of the Gallant Officer who had last spoken, were all founded on misapprehension. He implored the Government to reconsider their policy, so as to promote the permanent interest of the colony. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. BARKLY, Sir R. INGLIS, Mr. HAwES, Sir H. DOUGLAS, and Lord HOWICK, after which, on the motion of Mr. MANGLES, the debate was adjourned. But a few years ago a perfect apathy prevailed throughout the country respecting the most impolitic and unjust law ever passed by the Legislature—we mean the corn law, first brought forward in 1815, and continued to the present day, modified certainly in some points, but still retaining all the more objectionable restrictions which characterised it at first. When it was proposed, the public were so shacked at the pretensions of the landowners, that nothing but a foreign war pre vented a civil commotion, or a signal defeat of the Bill from sheer terror. The houses of the leading members of the Government were attacked, the lives of the Ministers themselves were not without danger, and the victory of Waterloo and a general peace, which caused such universal joy, alone made the community submit patiently to the plans of a Government who had been so eminently successful abroad. But still the glaring defects of this law did not escape the eyes of men acquainted with the principles of free trade and the best interests of the country—repeated attacks were made on this obnoxious impost, and for little less than twenty years have we been fighting against it, often single-handed, though at times supported by other journalists, yet the county Members were still too powerful. The task was regarded as ut terly hopeless, and vast numbers looked upon a re peal of the Union, or the restoration of the heptarchy, as probable as the repeal of the corn-laws. But "water weareth the stones," and perseverance in a good cause never fails of its legitimate effect. The eyes of the public were opened at last. They began to see the hardships to which they were subjected by a law which did not even benefit its authors, and latterly al commercial men have enter tained but one opinion as regards its ruinous results on the vital interests of the nation. That general opinion gave rise to the League, which was scoffed at by the landed interest and their organs—denounced, by them, as an illegal association, and stigmatised as a body of selfish traders, who looked only to their own personal advantages. But impartial Englishman took a different view of the question. They approved of its principles, admired the constancy and boldness with which it fought, and finally lent their aid by subscribing larger sums than had ever been collected for similar purposes in the memory of man. It soon became a national question, and though the landlords were numerous and powerful—nay, almost omnipotent in the Legislature—the small voice of wisdom at last prevailed. The victory of argument was entirely on one side; even the Minister " elect" of the landed interest, whilst he opposed the change, was wofully deficient in reasons ; the very advocates of the injurious law dwindled down to a mere junta of senators without influence or eloquence, and have latterly exhi bited such a lack of prudence, skill, and knowledge of true legislative principles, that the " strong Ministry " have been compelled to throw them overboard. Sir IL PEEL and Sir JAMES GRAHAM are now good repealers, and they want only time. When the proper season comes they promise to walk as fast as Mr. COBDEN. This is one of the greatest triumphs effected by perse• Terence in right principles. Mr. COBDEN might well ask the great meeting at Covent-garden last night why that which was admitted to be just, and politic, and urgent, should be delayed till it pleased PROVIDENCE to visit the country with famine ? "It was rather hard," said he, "to main- tam an injurious law for the benefit of the farmers, who were, after all, but 250,000 out of the 27,000,000 whcp form the population of these islands. But who ever heard it urged that it was for the benefit of the people that the law had been passed ? Sir ROBERT PEEL was very fond of talking of the great and important interests which had grown up under this law. I plead for greater and more important interests which are now crushed to the earth by the pressure of this law ; and if they want proof of this, why I bring their own Home Secretary, with his prison reports and his statistical tables, and I put him into the witness-box, to show what the law has done for that class which is most numerous in this land. I apply for the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws, on the ground of expediency, and be cause it could now be better effected than at another time. I apply for it on the ground of justice, because, if the law be a bad one, it should be at once annulled. And what will be the effect on the great body of the people, when the time comes which Government con templates—for they are going to repeal the law in a season of distress ? And such a season may come— aye, three weeks of showery weather, when wheat is in its bloom, will repeal this corn-law ? But how ? We have the experience of 1839, 1840, and 1841, and are the people of this country to be subjected to another such infliction before this law is repealed ? What provision is made for such a cala mity ? This is an important consideration at this moment. Divine Providence may repeal the corn-laws by a had harvest, but at present He mitigates by his bounty the rigour of the landlord's corn-law." We have little space to add more on the subject, but words are not now required—the fate of the corn-law is sealed; the very farmers' friends have turned against it, and next session, we confidently trust, it will be classed among the things that " were." Mr. C. BULLER, on submitting to the House of Com mons a series of " resolutions" relative to the government, relations, condition, and usage at the hands of the Govern ment of the noble colony of New Zealand—(a series, by the way, in its protracted extent worthy of the extensively projected coastline of the island-chain to which they re ferred)—made a very clever, a vigorous, amusing, and pointed speech. We have perused the report of it with great pleasure, and are fully prepared to concede to it no ordinary degree of praise. It was a speech honourably distinguished from the general run of Parliamentar. orations on analogous subjects, by the bold reliance of the speaker on his own powers of illustrating its official and statistical details. Confining himself, strictly enough, within the limits prescribed by the forms of the House and the real exigencies of his subject, he yet availed him self abundantly of every legitimate opportunity that presented itself for expatiating into large and well consi dered views of European statesmanship in its adminis tration of that policy which should direct its views of colonial connexion. It manifested, also, a becoming scorn for that sort of cant—that overt zeal for Church Propagandism which, in the case of New Zealand, as in very many other instances, has been intimately connected with covert selfishness and grasping avarice on the part of men calling themselves " Church missionaries." In addition to these qualities of excellence, Mr. CHARLES BULLER'S speech showed a mastery of its matter—a richness and variety of details—and a lucidity of ar rangement as agreeable and instructive as they are rare in discussions on colonial affairs, in which it appears to be the fashion with either House of Parliament to sup pose,—l. That the Colonial Department must be omnis cient as to the facts, motives, and opinions, involved in the history of any questions arising within its jurisdic tion ; 2. That all human information, possible or actual, to which any character of authenticity can apply, must be comprised within the mystic pages of those " Blue Books," that, like the Sybilline leaves of yore, are for ever being blown out of the recesses in which they are elaborated with the certain fate of being gathered up and perused by no men, or proving utterly beyond the comprehension of the men who do gather up and con sult them. Mr. BULLER not only diffused his materials with a lavish hand throughout his elaborate address, but took care that they should tell with all who heard them. entertaining iettdwido nmo atan: these ob nic o bjects tlisns accomplish, notions onwn which, ui o cr f h o,thepwi we ipporenee,sc presume, in , 13 t o ll r u a t t t h , must atha n s addodne e ower:e it w signed. It was a masterly exposure of the bad faith , the ruinous mistakes, the undignified petulance • anfested by Lord STANLE Y an d hi s subordinates in thee Colonial Department in the hi s t ory o f t h e transactions that were w recapitulated by the Lea rne d M em b er for Liskearde But it was not to our mind anything like a n adequate vindication of the New Zealand Company, o f which Mr. BULLER himself is a most active and an in telligent Director, or a successful apology for the still unexplained, aye, and unatoned delinquencies of a direc tion which then, we believe, boasted, as it now boasts, of Mr. SOMES, the Conservative Member for Bridport, for its governor, or chairman. We do not see that any plea, in justification, has been established, to remove from them the serious charge of having induced parties here to purchase lands of them in New Zealand—which the Company cannot have believed themselves, surely, pending their unsettled and uncompleted negotiations with the Government, to have possessed so ab solutely as to be entitled to make them the subject of bargain and sale with others. We do not see that Mr. BULLER has purified the Broad-street Direction from permitting, soliciting, encouraging British subjects to emigrate to a most remote and savage country, upon their arrival in which they found that the lands which they had travelled some twelve thousand miles to settle upon, were not yet so far within the possession—or even the jurisdiction of the Company—as to enable the latter to locate a single settler there with a valid or effectual title. But as the New Zealand Company, for our present purpose, are not upon their trial, and for the purposes of the debate re cently raised in Parliament, the Colonial Department are ; we shall advert only to a few points that possess an interest so intrinsic as to be inde pendent either of the one or the other of these points of view. As to the excellencies which the Learned Member claimed for a well-conducted sys tem of colonial emigration in general, we are as little disposed to contest them as we are to give an unquali fied concurrence in the eulogies he so unsparingly pro nounced on the system adopted by the New Zealand Company in particular. Equally sceptical are we as to the " disinterestedness " of the latter body, notwith standing the warm eulogiums he passed upon it. But we can fully enter into the warmth and earnestness with which the Learned Member takes up the cause of the British settlement in that noble country, in its present condition, through whatever course of events it has been attained. The total of land in the islands of New Zealand, of a quality available for settlement and cultivation by British subjects, is not less, it seems, than sixty millions of acres, the far greater portion of it readily accessible from a line of coast ex tending nearly 3,000 miles—and its soil producing some of the finest ship timber and other woods in the world, and eminently prolific in its yield of all the principal grains, pulse, and roots forming the staples of European subsistence. Mr. BULLER developed, with a simplicity and force every way worthy of his theme, the remark able natural advantages of geographical position, and still more singular accidents of political importance, that now combined to impart a character of growing conse quence to New Zealand. The recent occupations of France in the Marquesas and the Society Islands—the establishments of America among the Sandwich group— the probable early accomplishment of a permanent com munication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by the Isthmus of Panama, of Darien, or even of Tchuhan tepec;—the great dominions of the States of Mexico, Chili, and Peru, and our important territory of the Oregon along the western and north-western shores of America; these points are , well worthy of all the con sideration which the Learned Gentleman desires to draw to them. We reserve our examination of the general deportment of the Colonial Government to this colony in its latter days—to its unaccountable coquettings with the Crown rights of possession, and the chartered reply of the New Zealand Company—its deplorable slutntiering in the first instance over the questions of title, government, protection; or no title, no government, no protection; its backing up of Captain FITZROY, and Captain FITZROY'S ogre-like patronage of the ruffian chief who concocted the massacre which we have had so lately to deplore. It is not our design at present to enter upon any facts of which our present knowledge depends on mere ex parte statements. Neither shall we attempt to prove to Mr. BULLER that which we think we could reedily do, that he has much underrated the aboriginal character of the New Zealander, both for its moral and its intellectual qualities, in the parallel he has run be tween it, and that of the Nomadie savages of North America, and the Red Carib. But we cannot close this notice of thanks to the Learned Member for a very ad mirable speech, without expressing our respect for the clearness and good sense of some of the opinions avowed by him on the general rights of civilised men to settle on unoccupied lands forming part of the country of barbarians, the paucity of whose numbers bears no rela tion to the vast extent of their territory. The strongest point he has established in favour of the New Zealand Company is, that they have voluntarily secured to the native proprietors of all lands which they have dealt with there for a permanent property or freehold in one tenth of such lands. This will always form a redeeming feature in contracts where the consideration paid by the European purchaser to the barbarian seller appears to be most inadequate. But here we reach a subject which, more especially in connexion with the land. jobbing activity of the Church missionaries, is too important not to form matter for a separate paper. The Madrid journals of the 11th contain no political news. In one of them appears a letter from the Marquis VILUMA, who has been charged with intriguing for the restoration of absolute government, and aiding the Camarilla in bringing about a marriage between the QUEEN and the Prince of ASTURIAS. He denies the charges, and says he is not the head of a party desirous to elevate the dignity of the QUEEN on the ruins of the Constitution. Politics had been abandoned for a season at Madrid, the inhabitants being fully occupied with the bull-fights. The Tiempo of the 10th gives the following account of one which had created much interest, from the number of foreigners who entered the arena : "Yesterday, between three and four o'clock, the btalLfight, so much talked of in this capital, took place in the Jesuits' garden be longing to M. Fagoaga. The bills had not ventured to state that the bulls would be fought, nor should we venture to affirm it ; but it is fact that the bulls made their appearance in the arena, and that they were dispatched (to use atechnical term) in the best style the said amateurs could manage it. We believe we are not indiscreet when we say that the combatants in this strange fight were the very flower of diplomacy and of the society of Madrid. Among theta figured the Duke of Glucksberg (the Paris papers contradict this), M. Mercier, of the French Embassy, MM. Beauvallon and D'Epervilly, who have sought refuge in Spain in consequence of a welLknown occurrence at Paris, the Count de Castella, Mr. Russell, Count de Caceres, the Duke d'Alba, Mr. Moore, Senor Fagoaga, Den Jose Domingo, and Mr. Living stone. Four nations were, therefore, in presence, Spain, England, France, and the United States. Senor Tolgiaria killed the first young bull! bl. Beauvallon killed the second, which was a rather more formidable one, and dexterously wounded by Mr. Moore with several darts ; the third died by the hand of Mr. Livingstone. The fourth was spared at the request of a lady. M. Beauvallon was to have slain the fifth, but that matador hurt his hand :with his sword, and the bull was killed by M. Mercier. The sixth was truly a formidable bull, judging from the general desertion that took place in the lists, and he was dispatched by a professional matador. Two young bulls next appeared, and were spared. The combatants proved themselves capable of eclipsing in due time the glory of the Romeros and Illos, and the amusements would have been com plete had it not been for the accident that happened to M. Beau. vallon, who, in addition to the wound already noticed, also received some hern-thrusts. But let us not forget the Picadores and Ban. derilleros, who behaved superbly. M. Rupel and the Count de Castille displayed both courage and skill; a horn killed a horse under the former. The Viscount D'Eperville) and the Duke de Glucksberg rivalled their two companions by the intrepidity with which they assailed the two most dreaded young bulls. The Vie'. count D'Epervilley received a blow which prevented his resuming his lance, but it was fortunately attended with no serious conse quences. Among the Banderilleres and Capeadores were Mr. Moore, the Marquis de Caceres, and Senor Fagoaga, who distin guished themselves. The Duke d'Alba received a horn wound." e The Funds had risen, in consequence, it was said, of a loan having been obtained at Paris for the purpose of supporting Spanish Stock. On the 11th the Three per Cents. closed at 31 13-16 for cash, and 32i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 21i for cash, and 214 at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 6i for cash, and 71 at 60 days. We learn from the Paris papers, that, in addition to the Bills to be carried this session, mentioned in The Sun of yesterday, the Chamber of Deputies, after some discussion, had sanctioned the following :—Bills for Trans-atlantic steam-boats, for improving the harbours of Toulon and Port Vendres, repairing the Cathedral of Notre Dame, rescinding the Bth clause of the Railroad Act of 1842, and establishing a branch of the Bank of France at Algiers, and for preventing the adulteration of wine. The Chamber, on Tuesday, continued the dis cussion on the army estimates, in the course of which M. DUPIN complained of the frequent changes made in the uniform of the troops, which caused great expense to the officers as well as the country. The Committee on the Great Western Railway took into consideration a pro position made by a new Company, formed by the Rouen and Versailles Companies, for the purpose of making branch lines to Lisieux and Alencon, should the line pass through Lee Mans. In that case the localities now demanding the postponement of that Bill, would by this arrangement be fully satisfied. The Committee and the Minister of Public Works were understood to have ac cepted the offer.

QUEEN'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) THE SPA-FIELDS BURIAL-GROUND. (Before Lord DENMAN 'nd a Special Jury.) ItUEEN, AT THE PROSECUTION OF WILIIAM C!;ARLES BIRD, TOM SillTff. FRANCIS WIZEN, AND OTHERS. The Solicitor-General appeared as counsel on behalf of the Crown, and J. B. Wakeling, Esq., of St. John's-square, as solicitor; Mr. Jarvis, Q C., appeared for the defendants. The Court was crowded to excess, and the greatest interest was felt in the proceedings. The Spa-fields burial.ground is situated in the most populous part of the parish cf Clerkenwell, abutting upon Exmouth-street, Cold Bath-square. About four months ago complaints were made to the Magistrate at Clerkenwell Police-court by Mr. Watt, a pawnbroker in Exmouth.street, and several most respectable trades men, that certain horrible and disgusting practices were carriee on in the burial-ground. It was stated that human bodies were ex. homed and burnt, and that the effluvia arising from the putrid flesh was most prejudicial to the health of the inhabitants. There upon Mr. Wakeliug, ve,try-clerk to Clerkenwell parish, came for ward to sustain the complaint of the inhabitants, and determined upon prosecuting the offending parties at his own expense, if the parish did not do so. The proceedings at the Court appeared in the newspapers, and the public mind was much exeited by the re volting statements. The matter was brought tinder the cogni sance of the House of Commons, and the Government at length came to the resolution of prosecuting the parties, and suppressing the nuisance. The jury having been sworn, the indictment, containing nume. cons counts, was read The defendants pleaded not guilty. The Soucrroa-GExtram. stated that this prosecution was insti tuted by the Government for the purpose of putting down a sys tem, the existence of which in Spa-fields Burial-ground had been much complained of; but he was happy to say that a proposal had been made by his Learned Friend Mr. Jarvis, by which the Court and jury would be saved trouble, and the nuisance effectually abated. The prosecution was instituted on public grounds, to preserve the health of the public. The defendants had agreed to plead guilty to the sixth count of the declaration, which would, he thought, answer every purpose, inasmuch as the matter would be referred to the arbitration of a gentleman who would decide la what manner the ground should be in future conducted. He con sented to their pleading guilty on these terms. Mr. Jeans, Q. C., said he acquiesced in the course mentioned by the Solicitor-General, and he would plead guilty to the sixth count, which was as follows. The owners of the burial-ground had not been aware that any improper practices were carrried on there, and were desirous of having it properly conducted. The sixth count was as follows : "That the said Robert Vinal and the said William Langford, on the said Ist day of January, in the year of our Lord, 1841, afore.. said, were and from thence hitherto have been, and still are, pos sessed of a certain close, situate and being in the parish aforesaid, in the county aforesaid; and which said close, during the time aforesaid, had been and was kept and used for the interment and burial of deceased persons, far the lucre and gain of the said Robert Vinal and William Langford, in that behalf, and divers, to wit one thousand deceased persons had, during the time aforesaid, had been and were interred and buried therein. That the said Francis Green, Charles Bird, William Green, Tom Smith, and Stephen Bishop, were, on the said Ist day of January, in the year of our Lord, 1841, and on divers other days and times, between that day and the day of the taking of this inquisition, hired and employed in and about the interment and burial of de ceased persons, in the said close, for certain hire and reward to them, paid in that behalf, whereupon it then and there became and was the duty of the said Robert Vinal, &c., &a., not to inter and bury in the said close a greater number of deceased persons than could be decently interred and buried therein, so that the bodies and remains of deceased persons theretofore Interred and buried might not be thereby disturbed. That the said Robert Vinal, William Longford, &c., &c., not regarding their duty in that behalf, nor the religion, laws, and customs of this realm, but contriving and intending to obtain lucre and gain, by interring and burying in the said close a greater number of deceased persons than could be decently interred and buried therein, on the Ist day of January, in the year of the reign aforesaid, and on divers other dsys and times, between that day and Vie day of the taking of this inquisi tion, with force and arms, &c., at the parish aforesaid, in the county aforesaid, unlawfully, wickedly, and indecently, did dig up and disinter divers, to wit, 1,000 bodies, full 1,000 remains of bodies of persons deceased, lately before then respectively interred and buried in graves, in the said close, in order and for the purpose of interring and burying in the said lafit-mer.tioned graves, for lucre and gain to them in that behalf, divers other bodies of de ceased persons, to the great indecency of Christian burial, to the evil example of all others in the like case off.mding, and against the peace of our said lady tile Queen, her Crown and dignity." After some furtter discussion, the following decision was agreed upon " That the defendants should plead guilty to the 6th count— that the residue of the indictment should be referred to the deci sion of Mr. Brannell, who Is to direct in what manner the burial_ ground is to be in future conducted. Judgment of the Court to be respited for one year, and if the directions of Mr. Brannell are complied with, no further proceedings to be taken —no costs on either side—no arrest of judgment or writ of error. The costs of arbitration to be paid by the prosecutors and defendants, each a moiety. SHERIFFS , COURT.-(THIS DAY (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCRILL.) CLARKE V. WILDRORE. The plaintiff in this action is a hairdresser in Ironmonger.row, St. Luke's, and the defendant is a medical gentleman in Kensing ton-terrace, Bayswater. The action was brought to recover the sum of 71. 10s., thebalance of an account for rent, work, and labour, and money laid out for defendant. The facts of the case were these :—ln August 1841., the defendant called on plaintiff and asked if he Could accommodate a lady with a room, who was near her confinement, and was answered in the affirmitive, and defendant then agreed that the rent should be 2s. a week till occupied, and 4s. when the lady took possession. Plaintiff was also desired to hire a nurse, which he did, The lady, however, did not arrive as expected, and all was prepared. The defendant, however, called several times, and one night in December a messenger arrived for Mrs. Clarke, to whom, on going to Kensington, defendant gave an infant, a day old, into her charge, and the took it to the nurse at two o'clock in the morning of the 7th. Plaintiff and his wife acted as sponsors at the christening and mourners at the funeral, the infant dying in June. Defendant and a Mrs. Wells, the mother, occasionally called, but plaintiff was left to pay the expense of the funeral. On the faith of some notes which had passed it was now con tended fur the defendant that he had merely acted as the agent of Mrs. Wells, and the father of the child, who was a man of family, named Hudson, residing in Kensington Gravel pits. One letter had been drawn out by defendant for plaintiff to copy and direct to defend ant, abusing both Mrs. Wells and Mr. Hudson, and threatening ex posure; but this letter, however, was made to appear as though he did not hold defendant personally liable, but to frighten Hudson. There had been another letter containing the terms of agreement, which had been partially destroyed at the suggestion of defendant. Mrs. Webb was called with an endeavour to show that she had agreed with Mrs. Clarke after defendant had called, and had paid some money. She said she was a widow, and had been so for twelve months when she bore the child. Mr. Hudson was also called, and admitted he was father of the child, and had refused payment. The jury, without waiting for Counsel's reply, or the Under Sheriff's summing up, gave a verdict for the full amount. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COUR T. (Before Mr. Justice Parreson and Mr. Baron PLAIT.) MURBER.—Daniel .Johncock, 21, a respectable looking young man, described in the calendar as a waiter, was indicted for the wilful murder of Hannah Moore. Mr. Payne appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Parry defended the prisoner. From the statement of the Learned Counsel, and from the evidence adduced, It appeared :—That the prisoner and the deceased lived together in service; they had been discharged from that situation, and being unhappy in their minds they deter. mined to commit suicide. The prisoner bought some oxalic acid, which he administered to the young woman and also to himself. That portion which was given to Hannah Moore caused her death, but the prisoner recovered from the effects of the poison he had taken ; this being the case, and the prisoner being present at the time the poison was taken by the deceased, in the eye of the law he was considered guilty of murder, and hence the present charge. The clerk of the Lambeth.street Police.court proved the deposi tions and statements made by the prisoner. The landlady of the Coach and Horses beer.shop, Cross-street, Hatton-garden, proved that the prisoner and the deceased came to her house on the 26th of May, and wanted a bed, which she ulti. mately let them have. On the next morning they asked if they could have the same bed the next night, to which she replied that they could, and they went away. In the middle of the day the young woman came home accompanied by the prisoner. She said she was very ill, and must go to bed. She old so, and on witness going up the next morning, she saw her lying on the bed dead, and the prisoner had been taken off to the station.house. Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—The young man at the bar seemed extremely atieched to the deceased, and she appeared to have great control over him. Charlotte Davis, a lodger at the Ccach and Horses, corroborated the evidence of the last witness. When she went into the room the next day she saw the deceased lying with her face on the pillow, and on lifting her up she found she was nearly dead. On lifting her up, she heard i a noise in her throat. Witness then fetched some water and bathed her face, and she breathed several times. The prisoner fetched a doctor, and appeared most dejected in his spirits. On the doctor's arriving he said she was dead. Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—The prisoner went down upon his knees on finding the deceased had expired, and cried bitterly. He appeared almost frantic. Wm. Everley lodged at the Coach and Horses. Recollected the night in question. Saw the prisoner take up a pot of hot water to the room where the deceased was. Witness heard him ask for the nearest doctor, and he was directed to Leather lane. Witness went with him ; he ran all the way, and when they got there, they were told to go to Mr. Pollock, of Hatton-garden ; the prisoner went there by himself, and witness went home, and went up into the room in which deceased was. She was then nearly dead. She died in a minute or two. When the prisoner returned with Dr. Pollock he asked if she was dead, and upon being told she was, he threw himself on the bed in a most frantic manner. He said they had both taken poison. He then handed several papers to the doctor, among which was a letter, and two papers marked " Poison.'' The landlord then gave the prisoner in charge of the police, and he was taken away. Daniel Humphries, a police-constable, G. 74--Took the prisoner into custody, who appeared at that time to be in great distress of mind and very ill in body. When witness told the prisoner he must go along with him, he replied he would go anywhere with him. As they were going along, the prisoner, when they came to Exmouth.street, said, pointing to a chemist's shop, " I bought one lot there." He t h en asked witness w h at h e thought they would do with hi m. Would they hang him ? To which witness replied he did know what would be done , when the prisoner said, "Oh, dear, what a foolish young man I have been." While at the station-house he appeared wretched. Wit ness received a l etter from Mr. Pollock wh i le at the station.house, which he produced . During the time t h e pr i soner was at the station.house the stom ac h -pump was applied, and he was after. wards removed to the Free Hospital, where he vomited very much. Upon witness searching him at the station-house, he found two pieces of paper in his waistcoat pocket marked " poison," two so vereigns, t Jr° half-crowns, two shillings, a sixpence, a fourpanny. piece, and threepence.halfpenny in copper, a knife, a key, two silk handkerchiefs, a hand..towel, and a collar. Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—The prisoner was so distressed that he hardly knew what he was talking about. George Wilkinson, another policeman, after corroborating the evidence of the last witness, stated that he heard the prisoner say to Mr. Taylor, the surgeon who attended at the station-house, that he and the young woman had taken poison ; that she mixed it, and they both took portions alike. After this Mr. Taylor applied the stomach-pump. Inspector Perry said that the prisoner told him that he should not have known what to have asked for had not the young woman told him, and her father being a boot-maker, she said if any ques. tions were asked he was to say it was for cleaning boot-tops. Mr. Pollock, the surgeon of Hatton-garden, then gave his evi dence as to being called in by the prisener to see the deceased. The prisoner, among other things, told him that he and the deceased had been walking about in a most melancholy state for some time. That they had been on Waterloo-bridge, where he had great difficulty in preventing the deceased from throwing herself over the bridge. That they then agreed to take poison together, which they did, but that he had been very sick and brought his up. He said that the reason they had taken poison was from distress, at being discharged from their situations at a moment's notice. He said the reason of their discharge was because he had been seen coming out of her bed.room. Witness made a post mortar examination of the de ceased, and attributed her death to inflammation a the intestines, particularly the smaller uses, occasioned by poison. Cross-examined by Mr. Pa trair—Tbe prisoner appeared in great distress at the death of thconong woman, and said he only re petted that he had not diea too. After several other witnesses had been examined, and the state ment made by the prisoner at Worship -street read,- the case for the prosecution closed. During the time several of the witnesses were giving their evi dence the prisoner was repeatedly in tears, and appeared deeply affected. Mr. PARRY addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Justice PATTESON summed up at considerable length, arid The jury retired at two o'clock ; and, after an absence of half an hour, they returned into Court, and after their names had been called over, and they had answered to them, The Clerk of the Arraigns said— tientlernen, are you agreed on your verdict f The Foreman—We are. Clerk of the Arraigns—Do you find the prisoner at the bar Guilty or Not Guilty? The Foreman (in a firm voice)—Not Guilty. The prisoner then bowed most respectfully, and left the dock. CORN AVERAGES.

We have accounts from Sydney as late as March 15. Wool had been lower during the previous month, on account of the decline here last October, upon second qualities. For advances upon the staple, 5 per cent. discount was readily given. The commercial markets were not active. According to the latest accounts from New Zealand that we can find in the Sydney journals, a collision between our troops and the natives was considered inevitable. By another arrival there are dates of the Bth and 11th, from Van Dienien's Land. The colonial press was grumbling at the prospect of increased taxation to meet the deficient revenue, at a time when they were so little able to afford it. The East India letters have been delivered, and describe the state of the markets for European imports as being still rather satisfactory, compared to what it was a month or two back. There was likely to be a good crop of indigo, and rrany other important ar tides promised well. From Ceylon it is stated that-" The weather since our last has been of the most favourable character for the coffee estates, and W e imagine it is schiont that planters have a prospect of a heavier crop than is this year promised; the blossoming has been abundant and healtirv, and the season able showers seem to have turned every flower to account. Two full blossomings have already taken place, and the buds of a third are in an advanced state. The earliest. forward berries look healthy, and are rapidly swelling, arid as the monsoon now appears to be changing, and we may expect moist weather, an abundant and einly crop must be the result."

PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 18.—The remains of Captain Charles Robinson Miller, of the Royal Marines, were this afternoon interred in the garrison chapel, with the military honours due to his rank. DARING AND EXPERT ROBBERY.—Yesterday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, a daring robbery was committed in the house of George Gurland, Esq., a gentleman re sidin g in Queen Anne's-street, Cavendish-square. It appears that a man, having the appearance of a porter at a coach-office, car rying a brown paper parcel in his hand, called at Mr. Ourland's residence shortly before three o'clock, and, on being answered by the female domestic, demanded a shilling for the porterage of the parcel, statin g that he had brought it from the White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly. The girl proceeded up stairs to her mistress to procure the money, and, during her temporary absence, the fel low contrived to walk off with a valuable French timepiece, stand ing upon a bracket is the hall, a silk umbrella, and a light Tag. lioni, which was hanging upon a peg, and with which articles he contrived to effect his retreat. Upon the parcel being opened it was found to contain a quantity of old rags and pieces of cloth. DEATH OF THR COUNTESS OP AIRLIE.—This ami able lady was confined with twins at Kemp-town, Brighton, on Monday, and on the following day she died. The Countess of Airlie was married to the Earl of Airlie on the 15th of Novem ber, 1838, and has left four children. STURGEoN CAUGHT IN THE R IVER Ll:A.—Yester day a gentleman named Parkes, residing in Little Knight Ryder street, Doctors' Commons, whilst fishing In a branch of the river Lett, near the Temple Mills, in the Hackney Marshes, observed a fish of considerable size lying in et quiescent slate in rather water. He procured a small harpoon from the proprietor of the Temple Mills Tavern, with which he succeeded in striking it near its tail. With assistance he got it to the bank, when it proved to be a fine young sturgeon, of the weight of sixteen pounds and a half. It is a singular fact that, during the past month, no fewer than four other fish of the same species have been caught near the same spot. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY HANGlNG.—YeSterday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a most determined attempt at suicide was made by a young man, named Edward Mildmal. residing in We!ls street, Oxford street. It appears that the 3oung man has been in a very desponding elate for some time, owing to the loss of a sum of money belonging to his employer, and in consegu?nce of being discharged from his situation. Yesterday morning his brother, hearing an unusual noise in the bedroom, went up and discovered his unfortunate relative suspended by a sash ;ins to a hook in the wall, and in the agonies of death ; he im mediately cut him down, and, medical aid being called in, after sonic time he wan fortunately restored; he has since expressed regret at the rashness of his attempt. 114N1 To 11l I; i iON. MR. GRIMSTON, —A rious accident occurred to the Hon. Mr. Grimston, of the Cold. stream Regiment of Foot Gua , ds, stationed at Windsor, while bathing in the Thames, in the immediate vicinity of that town, in company with the Earl of Caledon, on the morning of Saturday last. It appears that the Hon. Gentleman, in taking what is termed " a header" from off the bank, struck his head with fear ful violence against either a large stone or the rugged trunk of a tree at the bottom, rendering him apparently lifeless, and totally helpless. The Earl of Caledon, perceiving that his friend, when he rose ta the surface, was in a state of insensibility, lost no time in jumping into the river and dragging him on shore. It was then not until after the lapse of a quarter of an hour that he was restored to a state of consciousness. He was then conveyed to his apartments at the infantry barracks in Sheet.street. Some most alarming symptoms shortly afterwards manifested themselves, it was judged expedient to send an express to Grosvenor-square, to summon his father, the Earl of Verulam to Windsor. The gal vanic telegraph from Slough to Paddington was immediately put into requisition, and in less than an hour and a half afterwards his Lordship was by the bedside of his son. The painful and alarm ing symptoms still increasing, it was deemed advisable to call in the aid of Dr. Ferguson. The galvanic telegraph was again resorted to, and Dr. Ferguson speedily arrived, when he found Mr. Grim ston in a state of delirium. Yesterday morning a favourable change had taken place; the patient having passed a good night, and en joyed some refreshing sleep. He is pronounced by his medical at. tendants to be now free from danger. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, about twelve o'clock, the inhabitants of Nottingham_ street, Bethnal-green, were alarmed by the screams of a female, and in a few seconds a woman rushed out of No. 5 deluged in blood, from a frightful wound in the throat, inflicted by her husband with a shoemaker's knife. She was iminesliately taken to the sur gery of Dr. Moore, and the wounds were dressed by his principal assistant, Mr. Cooper, During the interval, the man, whose name is Warren, cut his own throat in so severe a manner that he was supposed to be dead; but on examining him at the London Hos pital, to which lie was immediately taken, life was not extinct. He now lies there in a hopeless state. Jealousy of his wife, who is an interesting looking female, twenty years of age, is stated to be the cause ; and from all that can be ascertained, without founda tion. We regret to have to announce the death of the Rev. Mr. Barham, better known to the literary world as the author of the " lugoldsby Legends," and of one of the moat po pular of our modern novels, " Cousin Nicholas." Mr. Barham died at his residence in Amen-corner, St. Paul's, after a short but severe illness. It seldom falls to the lot of a journalist to record the death of a gentleman who more thoroughly combined high and distinguished talents with all the social virtues and qualities. Those who had the happiness of knowing the deceased, will read of his death with unfeigned sorrow, and sympathise with the mem bers of his family in their deep-affliction • IMPORTATION OF DUTCH CATTLE, &C.—Yesterday the Dutch steam.packet, Batavier, Captain David Dunlop, arrived alongside the St. Katharine's Steam-packet Wharf from Rotterdam. She brought sixty-seven live oxen and cows, and upwards of seven hundred live decks, geese, hens, &c. The influx of poultry from the Continent every week has considerably reduced Its price in the markets. .1 HE WATERLOO BANDE R . -WINDSOR, WEDNES DAY.—This being the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, the tricoloured banner by which his Grace the Duke of Wellington holds Strathfleldsaye, was duly presented at the Cagle, and placed in the Guard Chamber, over the bust of the immortal hero, by Mr. William Moore, being the thirtieth banner brought by this gentleman. • I str' • - 0 47 ' 7' t : 31 ?.0 itten 23 1 / 2 35 `2.: 3 114 5 106 1 ,4 451 / i 24'.) 7 41 /•z 20 1 :0,3 94 614 4% 86 284 53% 35 18% 4% 2% 25 6% 70 SUN I:l , 'Fit• s RA AY C 033 Urfa , (THIS DAY.)
