The Newcastle, M'Lea, from Liverpool to this Dort, got on shore on the rocks in IClllala Bay 17th instant, but came Off lath, leaky, la discharging; cargo partly damaged. _ complained of, and defended the Post-otSce authorities. As inquiry could lead to no good result, he should op pose the motion. After a few words from Dr. Bowring, Mr. Williams, Mr. F. Baring, Sir C. Lemon, and Ir. Curteis, the motion was rejected by a majority of 76, the numbers being— for the motion 30, against 106. Mr. WYSE then moved that an Address be present( d to her MAJESTY praying her to establish a museum of national antiquities. The motio. , , which was seconded by Mr. HAWES, and supported by Mr. BERNAL and Mr. EWART, was nega tived without a division, and the House resolved itself into Committee of Supply. Several sums were voted for the Ordnance and other departments of the public service, and the other busines. of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at half-past one o'clock. The Levant mail brings intelligence from Constantinople to the ith hist , Smyrna the 9th, Beyrout the 3d, and Athens the 10th. Preparations were in progress at Constantinople fur celebrating the marriage of the Sultana ADILE, eldest sister of the EMPEROR, with ALI PACHA, Grand- Ad miral of the fleet. A number of tents had been pitched in the plain of Ilaydar, where the mar riage was to take place, and entertainments were to be given to the Foreign Ambassadoys, the tilemas, and the principal authorities. The accounts from Beyrout are more favourable. An armistice had been concluded on the Ist lest. between the Maronites (Christians) and Drases, and the contending parties were to remain in their respective positions until the decision of the Divan as to the terms ofreconciliation should be proclaimed. It is said that in the course of the late contests a hundred villages and seventeen con vents had been reduced to ashes. About two-thirds of the villages were occupied by Christians. Letters flame Damas cus state that a woman who had abjured Islamism, being threatened by the people, sought refuge in the home of the French Consul. Crowds collected aroiand the house, which they were preparing to enter by force, when the autho rities interfered and restored tranquillity. Greece is still in a very disturbed state. Banditti traversed some of the provinces with impunity, and had committed great ravages. General Gitivas had attempted another outrage by challenging Ge neral CALERGI to fight a duel in a room, without seconds which, of course, was refused. CoLErn and METAXA had formed a coalition, but it was not supposed that they could remain long on good terms. Accounts from Madrid, of the 19th, announce that MAR TWEE DE LA Rosa had left for Barcelona on that day, to join the royal party. Rumours prevailed in the sapital that Carlist risings had taken place in several of the northern pro vinces, but they are not entitled to any credit. The Three per Cents. closed at 3176 for °ash, and 32 1 A at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 21 for cash, and 21 13-16 at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 7 at 60 days. The intelligence brought by the Paris papers is not im portant. The Chamber of Deputies had, after some discus sion, agreed on the Bills totbe postponed till next session; and among these are the Trans-Atlantic Steamers Bill, the Canal Bill, and that to prevent the adulteration of wine They afterwards proceeded to discuss the estimates for the department of Public Instruction, when M. DE LA MEURTHE moved an additional sum of 100,000,000 f. for primary schools, but the amendment was rejected. The Chamber of Peers had passed by a great majority the Great Northern Railway Bill. Only five Members voted against it. The carpenters' strike still continued, and it appears the infection had spread into the provinces. On some of the new lines of railway the carpenters and other labourers had also claimed an increase of wages. This shows the great demand for labour at the present time in France. The Go vernment, in order to counteract the evil caused by the sus pension of public works, had given permission to all the car penters serving as soldiers in the garrisons at Paris to work at their trades, and every precaution had been taken against any disturbance, but the men engaged in the "strike" con ducted themselves with great good order, and were resolved to avoid any steps which might bring them under the opera tion of the combination laws. On Wednesday the Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse at 83f. 80c. ; the New Loan at 84f. 25c.; the Five per Cents. at 1211. 70c. ; Orleans Railroad shares, 1,182 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 1,037 f. 50c. ; Vierzon, 717 f. 50c. ; Havre, 845 f. ; Avignon, 995 f. ; Basle, 2581. 75c. ; Spanish Passives, 7i.

Vorning .. 22 minutes after 8 1 Evening .. 18 minutes after 8 ARRIVAL of the GREAT WESTERN LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNLNG, FOUR O'CLOCK. The steam-ship Great Western entered the river this morning at three o'clock, bringing ninety passengers, and New York papers to the I2th instant, being ten days later than by the last arrival. These papers are much occupied with the affairs of Mexico and Texas. The Commercial Advertiser, of the Ilth. instant, says, "We were farnishee, just after the paper went to press yesterday, with the sub joined extract loin a letter to an eminent mercantile firm in this city, dated " MEXICO, MAY 20. " This Government having been empowered by Congress to enter into a treaty with the Texan commissioners, all fear of a rup. Lure between this country and the United States, on that score is at an end." , " The writer obviously thaws his Inference from the belief that Texas will accede to the arrangement." This news is extremely probable, ac we find the same facts stated in a letter from Vera Cruz, of a previous date, with se veral particulars. The writer says : " It appears that Capt a i n Elliott, the British Minister at Texas, accompanied by an agent from that Government, charged with proposals for peace, arrived here on the llth April, in the British man of war Eurydice, and departed directly in a very private manner for the city of Mexico. M. Cuevas, the Minister of State, made a report to the Mexican Congress on Texan affairs, and, with the unanimous consent of the Cabinet, proposed a decree authorising him to receive proposi tions made by Texas to arrange and conclude a treaty of peace honourable to Mexico, to be submitted for the approval of Con gress. this decree passed the House on the 3d of May by a vote of 41 to 13, and subsequently was approved by the Senate unani mously. A Bill for a loan of 3,0.0,000 dolls. has also become a law. " Since then letters from the city of Mexico, which I am told may be relied upon, have been received here, stating that the nego tiation between Mexico and Texas has been completed so far as the executive of the two countries are concerned. The terms are said to be that Mexico acknowledges the independence of the latter, guaranteed by France and England, provided Texas rejects annex ation with the United States or any other country." The domestic intelligence in the American papers is not important. No decision appears to have been came to re specting the Oregon affair. We have intelligence from Quebec to the 3d inst., six days after the great fire, with some additional particulars. The Committee of Relief had notified that each of the sufferers would receive two dollars, on application. " One assertion,' says a Quebec journal, "we may safely make, that the amount of property lost is not so far magnified, and the sacrifice of human life is underrated. The total loss has been computed with the utmost nicety possible, and found to be between one million and one million and a half of pounds ! .'—or, in dollars, from $4,000,000 to $6,000,000 1 The loss of life cannot be estimated. The following are additional extracts : FROM HATT!. —Capt. Robinson, of the schooner Samuel Roberts, thirteen days from Cape Haytien, reports nothing new. All was quiet. President Pierault mailed at Cape Haytien four days be fore Captain Robinson sailed. MORMON' TRIALS.—The St. Louis Republican of Monday, the 2d inst., speaking of the trials going on at Carthage, Illinois, says —" We are informed that the jury in the case of the indictments for the murder of J. Smith, Mt Mormon prophet, after an absence of about thirty minutes, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The in dictments for the murder of Hiram Smith will be tried at a special term, which w,ll be held after the circuit is gone through with." The editor of the Saratoga Sentinel has been sued for a libel by Joseph M. Wheeler, of that place. The following is the paragraph on which the action is brought :—" QUERY P—Did gentlemanly Joe Wheeler ever see anything of a pair of boots sent from West Troy by the cars, marked for 'H. Wilbur, Saratoga Springs ?' We merely ask for information, as they never reached their destination." Quesec, Jurta 3.—The bulk of the Spring fleet has arrived. The number now amounts to 460, with a tonnage of 167,207. Last year, at the corresponding period, the ameunt of vessels arrived was 259, and the tonnage 98,082. COMMERCIAL AND MONEY MATTERS.

THAMES GRAND REGATTA. SECOND DAY.—( WEDNEsDAI .) This was the " gold cup" day of aquatics—that on which the grand challenge prize was to be cowered. For this great race the Oxford University, the Cambridge Sub<crip•ion crew (amongst which are several resident members of these universities), the St. George's, and the Neptune had entered. Oxford, it may be remembered, had held " the mastery " fur a long period, up to the spring of the present year. Their "giant seven " at Henley w ill long live in the memory of aquatic men, and their prowess be readily acknowledged. The match of March turned the tide of fortune, and the Cantabs, who, previous to the victories of the rival university to which we have alluded, had been favoured by conquest in many a gallant struggle, redeemed their laurels. The regatta at Hen ley a fortnight since, again brought them into action, and again Cambridge was crowned with victory; but it is but fair to the Oxonians to suite, that in consequence of some of their crew not having been in the boat more than a few days, they were suffering under disadvantages. The Thames regatta afforded the vanquished crew a third opportunity, and whether they had "steam " enough to combat successfully with the Cambridge rowers was the point to be decided. There was one more great opponent at least in the field, to say nothing of the Neptune, and this was the St. George's--a club whose exhibition at Henley of science and game proved beyond all doubt that they had made rapid strides towards perfection, and bid fair to become " the leading stars of the London river." The sport commenced at half-past three o'clock with the gentlemen scullers' contest for die silver challenge cup, the gift of Mr. J. Layton (a distinguished patron of aquatic sports), together with a silver wherry, the gift of Messrs. Makepace and Walford FIRST HEAT. Mr. Chapman (green) Peacock (black) .. 2 Messrs. Soane and Colquboun were also in this heat. Mr. Chapman was the favourite. It was a beautiful race through out. Soane drove away with the lead, followed by Chapman and Colquboun, Peacock, for some reason, not seeming to attach so much weight to the start as the others, and conse quently taking it very leisurely. They were all, however, racing near each other at a very dashing pace, but Mr. Some could not retain his position, and shortly gave way to Colquhoun, and a beautiful race followed, in the course of which the last-named gentleman in his turn gave place to Chapman and Peacock, who, having shook off their opponents, rowed easily the rest of the way. 4 5 ,1 1 214 7% 04 1% SECOND HEAT. Messrs. Bumated (red) Conant (purple) ... Wallace (red and white) Three others, Messrs. Kennedy, Russell, and Westrop, were also in this heat. On the signal being given, they all went away beautifully together; and, after a few strokes, Mr. Conant began to show in advance, Messrs. Wallace and Bumsted being level with each other. Shortly afterwards, at a little above the Crab Tree Point, Mr. Bumsted fairly outrowed, first, Mr. Wallace, and then Mr. Conant, and went into the first place. It was through out a very beautiful race, and was only wen by a length; the seconi gentleman not being half a length in advance of the third. 6 The final heat will be rowed this day.

The House of Lords met at Five o'clock. The report of the Committee on Railway Bills was adopted, on the motion of Lord BROUGHAM. The Noble and Learned Lord also gave notice that he would bring forward his railway resolutions on Thursday. The Turnpike Tolls Bill was read a third time, and passed. The Duke of RICHMOND brought in the Drainage of Entailed Estates Bill, which wus read a first time. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY brought up the report on the Ecclesiastical Courts Consolidation Bill. The mea sure was opposed by the Bishops of LONDON and SALTS- BURY, and supported by the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord COTTENHAX, Lord BROUGHAM, and Lord CAMPBELL. The report was received, and their Lordships adjourned• The Commons met at Four. A new writ was ordered for Dartmouth in the room of Mr. SOMES, deceased. Captai❑ BERKELEY rose, pursuant to notice, to call ;he attention of the House to the hardship and injustice ,f permitting thc , promoters of railway schemes, propos- [ng to cross or interfere with any tidal rivers, arms o the sea, and creeks, over which the Board cf Admiralty have control, appearing before Committees of the House on Private Bills, without having first obtained the writ ten sanction of that Board, according to the provision of the Act 8 Victoria, c. 20. He concluded by moving that the question be referred to the Committee on Standing ders. A short conversation ensued ; but on Sir G. CLERK observing that the Admiralty already possessed the power of interfering, not only before the commence ment of any project, but even after its completion, by pulling down any works which alight interfere with the navigation of tidal rivers, the Gallant Officer withdrew his motion. In the course of the discussion, Mr. FITZROY stated that no consent had been given by the Admiralty fur the Formation of a tunnel under the Severn. The Small Debts Bill was read a first time. On the motion of Mr. HAwEs, seconded by Captain BOLDERO, the petition of the South-Eastern Railway Company, relative to the alleged irregular proceedings of certain persons connected with the Board of Ord nance, in regard to railway shares, was referred to a Select Committee. In answer to Mr. ROEBUCK, it was stated by the Earl of LINCOLN, that Members of Parliament would be ad mitted to the Fine Arts Exhibition, Westminster Hall, without tickets. On the motion that the order of the day for going into a Committee of Supply be read, Mr. T. S. DUNCOMBE moved " That Returns Nos. 72 and 248, made by the General Post-office, be referred to a Select Committee, with a view of inquiring into the accuracy of those Returr.s ; also into the present mode of remunerating by fees and perquisites certain officers of the General Post-office, and how far the duties of that establishment may be rendered more satisfactory to the public and less unequal and oppressive to the persons engaged therein"—in consequence of a motion which be kid made for the name of every person em ployed by the Pest-office, the nature of his duties, and the amount of h s salary. He was not satisfied as to the accuracy of those returns, and therefore be wished they should be referred to a Committee. The in• accuracy in them he believed to have been intentional. Ile cbjeeted to the system of paying the letter-carriers by fees, as one calculated to lead to gross corruption, and stigmatised the system pursued in the early deli very of letters as cne of gross fraud. He objected to what was called window-money, and contended that the Pus'-office had no right to receive any money beyond the amount of postage. The Hon. Gentleman then com plained of the manner in which the "Post- office Directory" was cendueted, and asked if it was a private speculation or an official work. Having related several instances in which the fee system had led to gross abuse, the Hon. Gentleman proposed to abolish it altogether, and to pay the letter-carriers proper salaries. Captain PE CHELL , in supportin g t h e mot i on, com plained of the great abuses which prevailed in the management of the Post-office with regard to the trans mission of mails to the Scilly Islands. Mr. HUME thought a searching inqiliry into the ma na m ~ f the P..st-office sias 41 ) 1 utely rcgilircd. I. e As t DwELL denied the existence of the *theses' cn GRAND HEAT. Coombes and Wilson Pnelps and Maynard Newell and Barrow 3 A rapid and even start was succeeded by Coombes and hi partner taking the lead, which they held throughout, closely followed by the second and third boats ; indeed, off the malt house the winner was only a length and a half ahead of the pink, and that pair scarcely clear of black and red and white. Won by half a length. The Grand Challenge Cup for eight-oared boats (gentlemen amatears)—Three heats ; the first boat in the first, and the first in the second, to contend in the grand heat.

The Neptune had the Middlesex station, and on the signal being given the Neptune took a slight lead, but in the course of a tew strokes they were shortly oar and oar. The pulling on both sides was very fine, the struggle for the first place being of the most plucky eka racter. As they, neared the committee•boat Cambridge began to show the nose of their boat in advan c of their opponents, and gradually neck by neck drew away from their opponents, taking their own water opposite Rosebank Cottage; but their spirited opponents -ere not so easily shaken off. They conti nued hard at their work all the way up, and putting- on a dash ing spirit again came close up to their adversaries; as they neared Hammersmith-bridge Cambridge again gradually drew away, non easily. 6.

A fine start was effected, and the boats darted away oar and oar with the rat idity of lightning, each crew straining every nerve to ob tain tt the pride of place." As they neared the Committee boat, the Oxonians had the head of their boat about a foot in advance of their opponents, but the latter kept hard at their work, and the pulling in both boats elicited well-merited praise. Up the reach, leading to the Malt-hou-e, the Oxonians, who bad pressed their opponents out of their course, fouled them sharply, and the St. George's immediately threw up their oars. The umpire at once decided in favour of the St George's crew, who, of course, became enabled to row in the grand heat. The distance was rowed out. GRAND HEAT. The Cambridge Sul , st.tription-rooms 1 The St. George's Club Both boats left Putney-bridge like a shot. The rival crews pulled tremendously, and Cambridge soon began to show their head in advance, and, notwithstanding the strenuous exertions of their rivals ' had their length in advance off th e Vice-Chan cellor's. S t . George's put on an extraordinary spirit, and got, by dint of the most severe rowing, within half a length of their opponents. Up near the Crabtree it became a question uhether the leading beat should pa-s ahead or a,tern of a barge, and both went astern of the craft, when No. 2 of the St. George's fouled the stern of the Cambridge boat. The umpires' decisicn was in favour of the Cambridge, who, from the circumstance of the fouling, as de , cribed. were slightly in advance. Landsmen's Four-oared Race, fora Purse-101. for the first, 101 for the second, 51. for the third heat. Three heats. The competitors were " roughs" of the first order, but rowed well, and conducted themselves very properly. The first heat was won by the Lambeth fishermen's crew, who were not down in the cards; Shepherd's crew, Chelsea, being second. The second heat was won by Biffen's crew, Hammersmith ; Peter's cre,, r 1), he no. ' The grand heat was won byl3iffen's crew, Hammersmith (pink); Peter's crew, Wandsworth (yellow), being second. Mr. Chapman is the favourite for the silver sculls deciding haat, and a general opinion appears to pr , vail that the Clas. t ers will carry off the 10 sovereigns oi•en to all tt.e world ; but they have, it must be remembered, two dashing crews, at least, of picked London watermen ag hist them. The first, consist ing of Newell, Pocock, Robins, James Dod:. (or D,ubledee), in one heat; and R. Coombes (the Champion of the Thames), T. Coombe:, T. Gardener, and John Phelps, in another. The prices will be presented this evening at Finch's Grand Stand, with the exceptinn of the new wherry, given by the lessee of Vauxhall-gardens to the pair of oars watermen, which will be presented at the gardens on Fliday evening. Upon a moderate calculation, there were at least 6,000 1 er sons present yesterday, and a very full attendance is expected to-day, there being some tine racing on the list, including the contests for Cie silver challeng cup. TIIIRD DAY (THURSDAY), The weather was beautiful, and the attendance even greater than that of Wednesday. The flue list of entries tbr the Silver Challenge Cup for four-oared boats, manned by gentlemen amateurs, the de ciding heat for the gentlemen scullers' contest, and the great cham pion prize of 1001. fur four-oared boats, open to all the world, were the objects o. attraction. Whilst the two former occupied the at tention of the members of the Universities and of the other various aquatic clubs, a general and extraordinary desire was manifested to view the Claspers, their boat, and their pulling, and many were the opinions expressed that the crew, notwithstanding the array of picked London watermen against them, would prove the champions of the flood. The very late hour at which the regatta terminated prevents us entering into any further observations. The sport commenced at about a quarter past four, with The Grand Heat tbr Gentlemen Scullers. umpstead, rel ...... ••••••• • • • • • • • • . 1 Connlt, purple . • • • • • • • • Peacock, black • • • • • • • • • Chapman, green • •• • • • •4 They all went away at the same moment, aim in the course of a few strokes Mr. Bumpstead began to show in advance, and otf the committee boat he wasilrawing further away.

Mr. Conant at this instant laid down to his work in gallant style, and gave indication of passing Peacock, with whom he was scull and scull, Mr. Chapman being a length astern of this pair. The rowing up to the present was grand and beautiffilly even be tween the second and third boats, when Mr. Conant drew slightly in advance, and the result of a long and desperate spur, on the part of Mr. Conant, brought him again scull and scull, and in his tarn second boat, in Barn Elms reach. The struggle amongst the whole party was centhiued throughout, Mr. Bump stead winning by a length only, and the third boat's hose was up ro the second's rowing thwart, and the fourth In a similar position as regarded the third. _ .

Wright G. Wright Waite Goodrick, Coxswain. A beautiful start was succeeded by gallant rowing. They were oar and oar for a few strokes, and then Newell's crew made a powerful effort and showed their head in advance. Off the committee-boat, where the rowing was of the finest description, the Hammersmith crew were unable to keep pace with the Claspers, and the latter went into the second place with the head of their boat on Po ock's stern, and the Hammersmith party doing them a precisely corresponding favour. The labour in the whole of the boats was most extraordi nary, and as they approached the Crab-tree the Claspers came oar and oar with the leading boat. The shouts of the =rounding popu• lace were deafening, and as the crews took stroke after stroke with out altering their posidon, the excitement increased. In this order they continued until Hear Hammersmith bridge, when the Claspers gradually drew their boat away from them, went under the arch three-quarters of a length in advance amidst the most deafening plaudits, retained their lead, and won by a length and a half. The Hammersmith landsmen's boat was rowed in a very gallant way, and was only four lengths astern of the second ; although some allowance may be made for the two leadhig crews having relaxed their speed in the last few strokes, when it was obvious that they would both be entitled to contend In the grand heat. THE GRAND HEAT Thousands of anxious spectators were by this time assembled, and were anxiously awaiting the struggle that should determine the championship. The Claspers were in downright request, although it was hinted that Newell's party had let them go by, as the posses sion of the first place was unimportant in the trial heat. The great struggle was not only of much interest as regarded these two boats, but of a corresponding one with respect to the merits of the picked London crews themselves, which had afforded much speculation, and about which there was a great diversity of opinion. %hey at last moved to the station, and were in a short space of time off like lightning. It was remarked by men of long standing in aquatic matters, that they never saw such speed in four-oared boats. They not only started at the same instant, but after several rapid and desperate pulls they were oar and oar. As they neared the com mittee boat. Coombes' crew began to show in advance, and facing the head of the committee boat, were rowing with all their might, the Claspers and the Pocock crew being oar and oar, with their heads level with Coombes' midships. At this moment it was ob vious to those in the committee craft that something was wrong, as Mr. Bishop,the umpire for that race, was not accompanying the men, but steering his cutter to come on board. On doing so he stated that the crews, on his having inquired whether they were ready, went off Of their own accord, without being started by him. He had fre quently called to them to inform them that it was no race, but his intimation was altogether unheeded. It may be as well here to finish the account of the racing at mice, and again return to the other part of the subject. The Coombes' party became in every succeed ing stroke more closely pressed by the Newcastle men, who never appeared throughout to relax their exertions in the slightest degree, and having come oar and oar with them at about the Crab-tree, a desperate push was made by the Cooinbes's for the lead ; but as they approached Hammersmith-bridge, the Claspers were drawing gra dually away, and ultimately succeeded in clearing their boat's length. Coombes' crew made a finishing and " plucky" spurt, but were un able to regain the enviable position they had once held, and the Clas pers came in first, at the winning post by one length and a half. Po cock's party were three lengths astern of the second boat. Amateur Four-oared Race (Gentlemen) for the Silver Challenge Cup. FIIIBT IIEAT. Oxford University, purple • • • • • • 1.

The Neptune made sonic very po erful efforts to overhaul the Thetis, and just before ilammsmith bridge, succeeded in almost getting their oar up to their opponent' stern. The Thetis then drew away a little, but at the four-and- a half mile-stone the Neptune put on a final spurt, and gained rapidly on their opponents, but just upon arriving at the w nning post, with every prospect of a dead heat ketw, en the second and third boats, the Neptune lost their rudder string, and with it all chance of then' second place.

THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE.—We regret to say that accounts have been rec. ivc from Brighton conveying the in formation that the Noble Duke Is suffering from the " hay river," a complaint his Grace Is always subject to at this season of the year, which obliges him to repair to the sea-side. The prospectus of the " Great Indian Peninsular Railway Company" contains a statement that " the registrar of joint-stock companies is satisfied that the company is not within the operation of the 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 110, and therefore does not require to be registered." The doubt which has existed as to the application of the statute in this case seems to have arisen from the fact that the railroad, though in India, does not necesarily come under the head of foreign railways„ since it is formed with a distinct class of English shareholders, and a committee and funds separa:e from the foreign arrange ments. It having been settled, however, that the Act does not apply, the limit of ss. per share as a dep isit is avoided, and 104. is expressed in the prospectus. VESSELs TO NORTH AMERICA .—With reference to a communication received by the Customs' authorities from Mr. Cardwell, one of the Secretaries to the Lords of the Trea sury, dated the 23d of April last, containing the directions of their Lordships with regard to relieving vessels carrying pis sengers to North America, from the obligation of carrying a surgeon on board as part of the ship's complement, a further letter has been received by the Commissioners from Mr. Card_ well, stating that the directions of their Lordships contained in the former one were issued in anticipation of the Act (Bth Vic., cap. 14), which has since received the royal assent, and that it is not their Lordships' intention that these directions should be carried beyond the provisions of tl e said Act. DE TER MINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—About seven o clock, on Sunday morning, Mr. John Commerie, setter up of lace machines, New Sneinten, Nottingham, was dis covered leaning over a pipkin in the cellar underneath his !sense, bleeding from numerous wounds in various parts of his body ; he was in a state of extreme exhaustion, in consequence of the great quantity of •blood which had flowed from his wounds. It appeared that Commerie ha for some time been distressed in mind, arising from family troubles, and his intel lect has been so much affect d as to occasionally produce the appearances of insanity. He had in the middle of the night arisen from his bed, gone into the cellar, leaned across the pipkin sn as to let the blood sun into it, and with a razor cut his neck ni ally round, and inflicted several gashes on his head, temples, face, and small of his arms. Mr. Burrows, of West-street, surgeon, having been ca;led in, found that between thirty arid torty wounds had been made by the hand of the unhappy man himself. Having taken up the arteries which had been severest, and dressed the wounds, Mr. Bur roves left the unhappy man with but faint hopes of recovery, although every attention has been paid to him. SfsoNTA.N sults I .2omEsesTioN Wednesday morning, bet wren two and three o'clock, a fire, which at first threatened great destruction of property, broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. W. Fetcher. cab master and stable keeper, 14, John-street, Bentonville. The discovery was made by the proprietor, who was suddenly awoke from his sleep by a loud crackling of wood undesgmne the process of combustion. Upon getting up and opening his bedroom door, he found the end of the workshops near his own chamber in flames. Hiving r i , sed a , • alarm the police and neighbours ha-timed to his assis tense, inn( by discharging a number of buckets of water upon the flames, their further progress was arrested. Engines of the parish, with two from the London establi-hment and the one belonging to the West of England Co m p an y, prompt l y attended, but fortunately their services were not required, the neighbours and police having extinguished the fire in the i e t es i ne The damage is con fi ned to the destruction of nart of :he r,,:f of the wo.kslisee, aed vessels, and the scorching of a cabriolet.

The Select Committee to whom the above railway has been re. ferred re-assembled so - n after eleven o'clock th is morning. 04 resumed their inquiry into the merits of the scheme. Mr. aLBOT commenced the day 'a procee dings by replying to the case for the opponents. He dispatched the opposition of Mile Walker, the proprietor of Shebden Hall, with h simple offer on the part of the promoters of the proposed line to do a ll that roasonablf could be required of them to satisfy the wishes and mee t the views of that lady or her committee, and then proceeded to commen t upon what he termed the dog-in-the.rnanger opposition • of d gr• Serjeant Talfourd and his learned coadjutors. He explaine himself by reminding their Lordships that the opponent' ealn t e forward, not in the capacity of promoters of a comp eting scheme, but as parties who sought for unnecessary delay, with n o other oPParen., object but that of defeating the West Riding Junc tion line. They di° not suggest a better line, nor did they say a line for supplYfeg the district with railway communication could follow an y other route than that marked out by the promotets of the West Riding Jen'''. tion scheme. He was, therefore, justified in complaining that they would not make the line themselves, nor would they permit ether, to do it for them. He met the objections urged against the gravi t y of the West Riding Junction line by declaring that it would involve an outlay of 123,000/. to obtain more favourable gradients betteen I ra owmoor and Bradford, remarking that neith er the antioi= t of working fficbet ween the two places, nor the probable saying in reer— ..t expenses, could justify the expenditure.
