EVENING EDITION BANK OF ENGLAND DISCOUNTS. The pressure for money for commercial purposes was rather severely felt yesterday, and the amount of bills sent into the Bank for discount larger than usual. It is understood, however, that a disposition has been manifested in that quarter to give increased facilities in the way of accommodation. A practice has been recently adopted at the Bank which, as it tends materially to the convenience of the public, and is not generally known, it may be use ful to advert to here. Formerly the rule with respect to " town bills" intended for discount was, that they should be sent in once a week—that is, on the Wednesday in each week ; then to lie over until the next day for approval or refusal. This detention of one day was of course a mate rial inconvenience to the holders or parties concerned, and more especially in the case of bills thrown out, the nego ciation of which, through other channels, would be ren dered so much the more difficult by the delay, in periods of money pressure. By the present arrangement these disadvantages are obviated. Town bills may now be sent in for discount every day, and on the same day the appli cation is taken into consideration and answered. Such improvements as these, which evince an inclination to con sult the ease and save the time of the moneyed and trad ing interests, will be viewed with favour out of doors, as creditable to the Directors. A similar practice has been adopted for some time past at the Bank of France.— Times. GENERAL MEETING OF THE NAVAL SCHOOL SUBSCRIBERS. Yesterday a general meeting of the society was held, agreeably to annual custom, at the Horticultural So ciety's Room, in Regent-street. About one o'clock the chair was taken by Admiral the Right Hon. Sir George Cockburn, G.C.B. There were present forty members, amongst whom we noticed Admiral Codrington, Admiral White, Sir G. Seymour, Admiral Robinson, Sir F. Omaney, Sir R. Dobson, &c. The Report of the Council of Administration to the General Meeting was then read. A long discussion then took place on the propriety of ext , nding the benefits of the institution to Naval Sur geons and other officers, which terminated in deferring he cor.sideration of the question. A vote of thanks was then given to Lord Yarbo rougn.,,ind Sir Isaac Coffin for their liberal support of ti, school. After passing the various resolutions, thanks were ,oted to the Chairman. and the meeting a.ljourned. WESL‘:YAN CHAPEL BURNT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. WEST BROMWICH, NEAR BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY, MAY 27, 1839. Sts,--A. x con•tant prruser of your valuable Journal, I trusc you will excuse soy ta.iLte the liberty of enclosing a 'holt account of rl calamity which has befallen the Dis senters of this nistrict in the destrnetion of the Wesleyan Nlethoeist Chapel Sunday la , t. After the per forownce of Mtn,- Service it. iii evening, the chapel was left to the care of the usual attendants, whose duty it is to see el ery thing sate before they leave, and about the hour often o'elock, flames were observed to issue from that por tion of the building which is used as the :Minister's waiting room. The town engine was instantly on the spot, and in the course of a very short period the engines arrived from Birmingham, but notwithstanding the arduous exertions of the firemen, assisted by vast numbers of the townspeople, we regret to state, that in the course of less than two hours nothing but the walls remained standing. flow the fire ori ginated cannot be in any other way accounted for than that it is supposed the persons who had the care of the chapel did not effectually extinguish the fires previous to quitting it. T. H. S. METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. The Courier of last evening, referring to the result of last night's division in the Commons, says :—" Every artifice that ingenuity and desperation could employ, were most dexterously and assiduously put in requisition as snares for th 9 Radicals; but of the many tiaps not one can boast its rat. The Radicals were sufficiently true to the people and to their own principles to prefer steady, consistent, and enlightened Reformer, like Mr. 6haw Lefevre, who agrees with them upon many points, though he may differ with them upon a few, to a steady, consistent, and incurable opponent of Reform, like AI:. Geultarn, with whom they never did and never can, while they are faithful to themselves, entertain a single political sentiment in common. The union among the Liberals last night was not, however, so complete ai it might have ben; for illness depri•. - ed their cause of some v.allus and honest co-operation, wink. accidents of another kind interposed still further to abridge the number of the majority." The'Globe observes, with reference to some of the ob s jeetions urged against the Ministerial plan of education— '. The Times yesterday repeated its objections to the nefa rious Whig project of education,' and declares that the great and 'only indispensable' object of the present Government since their accession to office has been and is the destruction of the Established Church. Now, we, who respect the Church and desire its safety, feeling assured that if destroyed the danger will be front within, not from without--front over zealous friends, not fern concealed enemies—and roost of all from those who en deavour to convert it from a religious to a political insti tution—,how'd feel some alarm were we in the habit of be ing much influenced by what the Times says upon any subject. If a grant of 30,0001. can peril so excellent an institution, surely 60,0001. would be enough to sweep it away altogether, and the condition on which the extreme left' will give their support to the t' camarilla" Govern. niont may be an inc , •ease to that amount, and the Joint es fnblishruent of Popery and infidelity as the State Tnere is, too, some fear of ; and we think it very wrong of the Times to pus naughty thoughts into people's heads which othsrwise would not have got there." The Standard speaks of the postponement of the Minis terial education scheme in the followitg- terms :—" The this g calling itself a Government' made another exhibi tion of its talent for halting, last evening. The scheme' for National Education, which was to come before the House of Commons on Friday next, is to be postponed to Friday jortniyht The reason for this second thought is sufficiently notorious. Having surveyed the opposite camp, and having also rem irked the gaps in their ow, ai ray, and the signs of not liking the jib.' which ,ere too evident among their followers, our courageous Ministers came to the conclusion that it would be far from expedient to risk a general en gagement on Friday next; and acco, dingly the word was given to break up and decamp, and to re-for.n 20 miles in the rear 1 This is a beautiful specimen of the ' fresh vi gour' with which the Mini•try were said to be animated.' The Times of this morning, in the course of a leading article on the subject of the Slave Trade, makes the start ling assertion that it is carried on at ten times the cost of human suffering inflicted when it was a traffic carried on by all nation-, and subject to regulations ; and adds-- " The letters by the last mail state, that in the port of Rio cle Janeiro, there were no less than thirty-six vessels fitting out for this detestable traffic in human beings, as openly as colliers in the Thames. In January last, in the port of Rio alone, 1,042 slaves were brought in three ships ; and in February 6,137 slaves were brought in ten ships. As the destruction of life in these voyages, owing to the strict precautions used against capture, is seldom less than one half, these transactions for one Brazilian port, and during two months only, involve the sacrifice of more than 14,000 human beings." The Morning Chronicle, in commenting on the Rev. R. Wilberforce's Letter to Lord Lansdowne, on the abject of National Education, says i--" The object of the pro posed grant of public money is to raise the character of the teachers by insuring their higher degree of fitness. But the reverend opponent deprecates the effect upon the teachers of bestowing upon them an education which must raise them above their present rank in life.' The rank in life of a schoolmaster is, then, a law one in the writer's estimation. The God-like work of training the hu man being, so that its developing faculties may best expand according to the design of the Creator ; the ministery of knowledge to the young mind, and of goodness to the young heart ; the formation of individual character, and through that, the elevation of national character, is, in his view, the function of a low station, for no better reason, so far as we can perceive, than that it is not paid for at the rate of thousands per annum. He wants to keep the schoolmaster humble. He would make him know his place as a dependent upon the vicar. He will tolerate no attainments that shall take the wind of public respect out of the sails of the clergyman. Nothing so good as an in— telligent schoolmaster must live too near the parsonage. This degradation is amongst the most malignant strokes anti education policy." The Morning Post states that the Government Educate tion scheme will be stoutly opposed bYalii6eestablisherr clergy, and then goes on to praise the Archbishop of Can terloury for his very gentle and tolerant opposition to the scheme :—" That it will encounter the ' determined' oppo sition not only of a part, but of almost all the devoted and' serious clergy of the Establishment, we readily and grate-. fully acknowledge. But why accuse the clergy of ' fierce ness' ? What is there in their conduct to justify such a Icharge ? The opposition of the clergy to the Government. Education scheme is headed by the Archbishop of Canter bury, a man who, above all men living, combines mildness: of language and demeanour, with firm devotedness to the principles of the National Church. Why is the opposition. of such a man to he held up to odium as a ' fierce' oppoi,,i -lion? Why, but that the Radical party finds it more co n venient to impose upon the ignorant by falsehood than to convince the intelligent by the arguments of truth a ad soberness." The Morning Advertiser remarks, in reference to thee Ministerial Education scheme We have been not a little amused by the depreciation, on the part of one of our Liberal allies, of the idea that Education is to he a party question. There are two reasons why it should be so treated ;—one, that the Tories will have it so—being steadily resolved that no good shall be done while maudlin Liberals and milk.and.water politicians give them the power of preventing it ;—and the other, that whether tee Tories so treet the matter or not, there is that essential dif ference between the parties that it is impossible it shotat3 be otherwise." The Morning Herald thus speaks of the Anti.Edu ca tion Meeting- which took place yesterday at Willi s's Rcoms We merely wish to direct attention to the im portant meeting for the promotion of National EducAttori on the principles of the Established Church, which was e'd at Willis's Rooms yesterday, and a report of which appears in our columns. The list of influential names comained in that report, the ',umbers who were present, and the numbers who were prevented from being present by want of accommodation, all concur in proving that a spirit is now at work which must be fatal to the Govern. meat measure." gsycot di &Armen Gazette truly says, "all - ofi lt.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT RACES. -TUESDAY. In our annual_ ... notices of these popular races we have seldom omitted to point out the necessity of a grand stand, an accomodation so indispensible in hot, dusty, or rainy weather, that it is astonishing it has not sooner been provided ; the delay is made the more unaccountable by the fact that, as a speculation, it could not fail to suc ceed. However, " better late than never"—the stand is now erected, and if not quite complete in all its internal embellishments, is sufficiently so for the accommodation and comfort of the visitors. A short account of it in its rise and progress will not be out of place here. It is built by one hundred shares of 1001. each, of which 5/. are to be paid off every year, so that, at the end of twenty years, it will be free of all charge, and will be appropriated solely to the benefit of the races, under the trusteeship of Lord Errol, Cap tain Seymour, T. R. Ward, Esq., and M. Gilbertson, Esq. In the meantime the sharholders will reeeive five per cent. in addition to a bonus out of the profits ; the remainder, after paying off the 5/. shares, will be applicable to the purposes of the race fund. It stands between the Queen's and the old betting stand, occupying the site formerly appropriated to six or seven wooden stands Its elevation from the ground is 52 feet, its length 971 feet, or, including the balcony, which extends beyond the building, 121 feet. The drawing ' room, or grand floor, is 90 feet in length, and is provided with ten rows of benches, placed above each other ; both in front and at the ends of the room the win dows extend from the ceiling to the floor. The roof is leaded, and will accommodate nearly 1,800 persons ; we should have stated that the grand floor will hold ten or twelve hundred. There are several refreshment, retiring, and play rooms ; in fact, the conveniences are infinitely more numerous and complete than at any other building of the kind we have yet seen. A very handsome balcony, sup ported by Corinthian pillars, extends the whole length of the building, the colonnade beneath it affording shelter from damp, rain, or heat to those who, for the convenience of betting, prefer the basement. The only entrance is at the back of the building, under an elegant colonnade, the car riage approach to which is by the Great Reading road. To prevent confusion there arc distinct staircases to the grand floor and the roof. The building is thrown well back, and as the straight course in front has been carried out about thirty feet, the turn from the old mile into the straight running is vastly improved. There is another improvement connected with it which ought not to be passed over. Those who have been in the habt of attending these races must have no ticed and perhaps felt the annoyance occasioned by the formation of the betting-ring right in the centre of the course—to remedy this, and accommodate the specu lators themselves, a space of fitty-five feet from the rail ing to the colonnade has been enclosed in front of the Grand Stand for the wie of betting men and others wh, have paid for admission to the latter—the ring is formed here, and business is carried on with out requiring the services of tne police to disperse ther.a, as was the case when they were driven to the sorry accommodation of the old betting stand ; there is also a spacious room appropriated to their use on the basement fl‘bor should the weather reader shelter desirable. The general appearance of the stand is light and elegant in the extreme, but there is one grand fault—the seats in the principal floor and on the roof are not sufficiently elevated above each other to permit a good view to all. This, we bear, will be altered by next season. We shall dismiss this portion of our subject by stating that the extent of patronage bestowed upon the new build. tag yesterday, proved that we were right in looking to it as a. desideratum. The grand floor was full of well-dressed females, whose beauty and elegance were not concealed by the heavy architecture which disfigures many other buildings of a similar character. The leads were pa. tr onized by hundreds, and the betting and play rooms w ere as Lull of animation as the mania f-r specu lation could make them —in two ways, the com p; my yesterday proved incontestibly that the invest. re ent will be as profitable to the shareholders as it is ac ciTtable to the public. The minor stands, under which head we must now class the old betting one, did not appear to suffer much from their stupendous rival; their receipts, we understand, were satisfactory. By one o'clock the assemblage on the heath had as sttmed an appearance which proved that the races had not lost their wonted interest ; the promenades were as numerous and as fashionable as ever; the carriage enclosure was nearly full, and the stands, great and small, presented a display of rank and fashion highly gratifying. All now were on the qui vice for the arrival of the Queen and her illustrious visitors, but it was not until twenty minutes past one that their impatience was ga-atified by a glimpse of the royal liveries at the commence. ment of the new mile. In a few minutes the procession ap. proached the grand stand ; it consisted of 11 carriages and four, beaded by the Earl of Errol and the customary out rid,2rs. Her Majesty was greeted with cheers from all parts of the course, and a similar compliment was offered her il lusteions visitors; these greetings were repeated when her Majesty appeared at the window of the royal stand, and were acknowledged with her Majesty's accustomed affabilly and grave. Her Majesty was accompanied in her carriage . .by her august Mother, his imperial Highness the He reditary Grand Duke of Russia, and his Royal Highness .Prince William Henry of the Netherlands. In the next carriage were the Prince and Princess Leiningen, Lady Litteton, and the Earl of A Ibeinarle. The other .marriages conveyed the Princes Dolgorouky, Bariatinsky, and Jouhrousky, Count and Countess Woron z,w, Count Tolstoy, Count Bentinek, Count Or ) off. Countess Potot-ka, Earl and Countess of Ux- I ridge, and their daughters, the Ladies Eleanor and (...!otistance Paget, Countess Cowper, Col. Yourjvitch, L aiy Flora Hastings, Lady Fanny Cowper. Lord Ful- I g ail, Lord Torrington, General Kaveline, Baroness Leh izen, lion. G. S. Byng, Miss Paget, Mrs. Campbell, Hen. Miss Anson, Colonel Berkeley, Major Keppel„ll. Patkui, Mini, Littleton, &e. Her Majesty took her departure after the rare for the Vasc, accompanied by her Royal guests and suite. Be sides the noble and distinguished personages included in in th e Royal party, there were on the course the follow ing tr. embers of the fashionable world : ke And Duchess of Beaufort, Duke of Rutland, Mar quis Exett.r, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl of Wilton, Earl of L , chfirld, Earl Stradbroke, Earl of Jer sey, Earl of March ; Lords Villiers, G. Bentinek, Jocelyn, Brid port and Lar 4 v, Andover, Russlyn, G. Lennox, C. Man ners, Rivers, W. Paulett ; Sirs J. Shelley, G. Dom vine and Laity D. Baird ; Honourables, G. Anson and Lad v, A Villiers, J. Villiers, H. Rous, J. Macdonald, Hot; F. Baring, Hon. Miss Hood, General Grosvenor, F. Betkeley; Colonels Chaloner and Peel; Messrs. Gre vine, Thornhill, jun., F. Craven, Shelley, Portman, M. Foulis, Worrall, Crommelin, Seymour, F. Charlton, Payne, Hunter, S. Stanley, Biggs, J. Stanley. Before entering into details of the sport, we should state that the Police arrangements were on the same ex. tensive , scale as usual, and not less effective. Sir F. Roe was in attendance at the Royal Stand, having under him, Messrs. Gardiner, Leadbitter, and Fletcher. The police were under the control of Superintendents May (A) and and Grimsell ( L), and Inspectors Pearce (A) and Rus sell (A). Their exertions, in keeping the course and preventing disorder, were perfectly successful. Imme diately after the the arrival of her Majesty the start took place for the first race, which came off as follows : .Her Majesty's Plate of One Hundred Guineas; 3 yrs. '7st. 21b. ; 4 yrs, 9st. 21b. ; 5 yrs, 10st.; 6 yrs and ;aged, lOst. 51b. From the New Mile-post, once round :and in.

BentiAck's Grey Moms, 4 yrs Cap tarn Gardnor's b. c. by Rowton, out of Bustle, 3 yrs 0 Mr. Balchin's Launehawdy, 4 yrs 0 A bout an hour before starting, Lord Geo. Bentinck de clare d that his horse would start, but that as be was cough ing, the jockey would pull him up the moment he was beater 1. The' betting had previously been slight at even on him ; it was now changed to 2to 1 agst him (taken)-3 to 1 agst St. Francis-4 to 1 agst Sleight of Hand— and 4to 1 agst Epirus. Grey Momus went off with the lead at a good pace, followed by Epirus and St. Francis, on either side to the Royal Stand, where the second place was fiLled by Epirus. At the first turn Adrian displaced Epirus, who contented himself with the next position, St. Francis still following him. At the old mile-turn Adrian and St. Francis challenged the Grey, and ran at his side to the road, where Adrian declined. The Grey mainta;ned his lead till within a distance of home, where he was beaten. St. Francis immediately took up the running, followed by Sleight of Hand and Domino, kept them at his stern to the end, and won cleverly by a length. Domino was a good third ; Grey Momus, the Bustle colt, and Launchaway did not pass the post. The Ascot Stakes of 25 soya. each, 15 ft , and only 5, &c., with 100 added.

Bullcalf and Slender started nearly abreast, followed by Hyllus and Corriborough, with the crowd close at their heels; their positions were preserved with little variation to the Swinley starting-pest, the first two still keeeping abreast, and even then, the only difference that we could ob serve being that The Skater, Confusionee, and Bay Hampton were now lying forward. At the road which crosses the course just before the straight running, Bullcalf and Slen der died away, their places being supplied by The Skater anit.l Bay Hampton, who alternated the lead till they had corn pleted the turn, when Bay Hampton shut up. Hyllus and the Turquoise filly now challenged the Skater, the three being quite clear of everything else in the race, the struggle home was beautiful, the feather beating The Skater by a neck, and Hillus b.: half a length only. I.wish-you-may get-it was a bad fourth. The little fellow who rode th winner displayed remarkable patience and ability. e The Ascot Derby Stakes of 50 sous. each, h. ft. ; for 3 yr old colts, Bst. 61b. ; fillies, Bst. 31b.; the winner of the Derby 51b. extra.

The contest home "Z"."‘ was interesting, and although the winner of the Epsom Derby added its namesake of Ascot to its wreath, it was not without a taste of the whip—he won by half a length; Macremma was nowhere. Lord Lichfield has objected to Bloomsbury, as we stated yesterday. Sweepstakes of 50 sovs. each, h. ft. ; for 2 yr old colts, Bst. 91b. ; fillies. Bst. 31b.

FATAL OCCURRENCE.—Iesterday morning an accident by which one man was killed, nod another dread fully injured, occurred at he brew-house of Messrs. Truman and Co., in Brie; Spital•fields. They were about to repair the paveme tit in one of the buildings in which 20 im_ mense vats are ranged in two rows of 10 each, raised abou five feet from the ground. The unfortunate deceased, Wm. Turner, was the mason, who about half-past six was prepa ring to relay the stones under the first of the vats, which is str.ted to have co ntained a quantity of beer equal to 200 barrels; and the foreman of the works, named Coe, was near him giving directions when en iron support of the vat broke, and it sunk'. to the ground, crushing the barrel be neath its enormous weight, and causing the instantaneous death of Turner. Coe was severely injured, and was con -1 vexed to the Lond on Hospital. THE CROPS.—We are delighted to hear from ' several respectable agriculturists in various parts the county, that the apple blossom was not so seriously injured by the unseasonable frost last week as they had anticipated, The accounts are highly favourable with regard to the growth and general appearance of the corn.— Western Luminary. TUMULT IN GLAsuoW.—Thursday having been appointed for the celebration of her Majesty's birth, the soldiers in garrison here fired Vett de joie in honour of the occasion, and the shops were pretty genera:ly closed during the afternoon along the principal streets, while flags and branches of trees decorated the windows of the extra loyal. There was a boat race or, the Clyde, betwixt six and seven, which at tracted a considerable crowd. Many of the citizens were struck and grossly abused in the vicinity of the Cross, the common method of annoyance being to tear their coats to pieces and destroy their hats. A great number of rioters were apprehended, some of whom, on being taken to the office, were found to have their pockets filled with stones. About half-past ten o'clock two hundred miscre ants armed with :stobs marched up from the green with furious cries, for the purpose of creating a disturbance. Seeing that real. .langer was now very probable, Captain Miller, with a s'crung force, rushed in and succeeded in capturing about two cart loads of the weapons, amidst the cheers of the more peaceably disposed portion of the crowd. We are sorry to state, however, that he re ceived a severe wound near the eye with a stone during the affair. The Magistrates, Dean of Guild, and some of the Commissioners of Police were _in attendance in the office during the evening, assisting with their advice. Many of the officers were severely struck and maltreated. Their con duct altogether is described as having been most cool and determined. A great number of the public lamps in Gallowgate and London-street have been broken. In the police-court yesterday (Friday) a vast number of the fellows apprehended on the previous evening for maltreat ing the respectable inhabitants, assaulting the officers, and breaking lamps, t vere convened before Bailies Kidston and Lcadbetter, when , after a patient investigation, 25 of them were found guilty , and sentenced as follows, according to their degrees of delinquency, viz.—four to 30 days' con finement in Bride well ; 11 fined in two guineas each ; nine one guinea; and one bs. The remainder were remanded. _Glasgow Constitutional. AWFUL VISITATION.—A few days since a man wbo is known in the eastern part of the metropolis by the name of Ly ing Tom, and who obtains a living by shipping sailors and boarding and lodging them, in other words, " a crimp," was standing on the pier-head of the new entrance to the London Dock, at Shadwell, waiting for a ship which he expected would arrive that day, when he observed to a person standing by, " my eyes, she won't be up to-day." He had no sooner uttered the words than he put his hand up to his face and exclaimed, " Oh ! my eye is out," and appeared in the grei test pain. A waterman, 'as med James Forfar, believing he was jest ing, told him to put his eye in again, but on looking at his face he was horror-struck at finding that one of thspan's eyes bad started from the socket and had fallen upon his cheek. He was advised to obtain immediate surgical as sistance, but before he left the pier-head he endeavoured to replace the eye in its original position. He is now confined to his room at his abode in Old Gravel-lane, St. George's East, and, it is feared, will lose the sight of both eyes. He is said to be notorious in the district as a liar, and from this be had obtained the soubriquet of " Lying Tom." The- occurrence is the subject of general conver sation in the neighbourhood of the docks. A TEETOTALLER IN HIS CUPS.—At the Town Hall on Monday Mr. R. Waterhouse, who not only styles himself a teetotaller, but a "professing Christian, or religious character," was charged with being found dead drunk, lying on his back in the street. He was removed to the station-house. The defendant assured the Magistrates that he never drank spirits. All thts arose from a bilious attack. He was seized with the attack, and, to ease his pain, he took medicinally a small quantity of brandy, which overcame him. Despite his assurances of abstineuce and sanctity, the bench fined him ss. for being drunk. ETON COLLEGE ABUSES.—We some time ince noticed a question on the Law of Marriage, likely tos undergo a legal inquiry, concerning a privilege claimei by the Provost, and we believe exercised at Eton for nearly a century past--the refusal to marry by any other than his own license. The cause, from the t;me we first no ticed it, has been proceeding until within these few days, when the Rev. Dr. Goodall, having discovered iris error, wrote an apo!ogizinsr letter to the Archbishop, who has consented to stay all further proceedings upon his promis ing never to offend in like manner again.—Reading Alen SIR WILLIAM FOLLETT.—We learn that the health of this distinguished advocate is so far restored as to require only a temporary, but, for the time, total ab stinence from business to effect an entire restoration ; and that, with that view, he has been advised to go abroad for some time, as the only means of escaping the tempting urgency of clients. - - LLANELLY RAILWAY.—This line will be opened from Llanelly up to Llandebie, 16 mile=, in July, and the mineral produce abcunding in this district will be brought down to the harbour.—Cantbriari.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1839. THE LATE ATIiOCIOUS MURDER AT WOOLWICH. CORONER'S INQUEST ON THE BODY OF SERGEANT-MAJOR SHEPHERD. Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, Mr. CARTTAR. the Coroner for Kent, and a Jury, assembled at the Offices of Sir John Webb, the Governor of the Ordnance Medical Department, in the Hospital of the Cavalry Barracks, for the purpose of instituting an inquiry into the circumstances connected with the death of Sergeant-major William Shep herd, of the 2d battalion of Royal Artillery, who was shot whilst on parade by a private named George Willis on the morning of Sunday last. The CORONER inquired if the prisoner was in attendance. Watts, the High Constable, replied in the affirmative, and the Coroner ordered him to be brought into Court. On entering the inquest-room Willis was muffled up in one of the grey military great coats worn by the regi ment. He entered with a firm and manly step, and seemed to observe the vast body of persons gazing on him with the greatest unconcern. The CORONER addressing the prisoner—Pray what is your name ? Prisoner—George Willis. CORONER—What are you? Prisoner (with great firm ness)—l am a gunner and driver in the Royal Artillery. CoaboNze—How old are you? Prisoner—l am 18. The evidence was then proceeded with as follows : Alexander Steele, Quartermaster- Serjeant of the se cond battalion of Royal Artillery, sworn.—l knew the deceased. 1 have seen the body, and know it to be that of Sergeant-Major William Shepherd, of the second bat talion of Royal Artillery. I have, since death, identified the body in the room where it lies. His age was forty nine ; he has been thirty-two years in the corps, since 1807, and his character was most exemplary and mild. Andrew Patton sworn—l am acting bombardier of the sth battalion of the Royal Artillery. I was on the Parade facing Woolwich-common about 20 minutes before 10 on the morning of Sunday last. The deceased, Sergeant major about l te: diSi2gh yards.o ep tn o he tt r hh d ee , was oaia Parade eeo were t ae Gtr t e O t ofhrr y eog a me r d time.2svvof o r i 1 0 l ti n os i l)3 m soa e atad , lvvp a a n net rh d cseaotn ‘ t \ Willis three ae l si man s ( e p or four paces from the front of the flag stones facing the barracks, raise his musket to his shoulder; he took a steady and deliberate aim at the deceased and fired ; I saw the deceased fall. The moment he had fired, the prisoner threw his musket on the ground and laughed, and then turned round and walked three or four paces from the spot. I ran up to the prisoner and took him by the cuff of his coat and belt. Serjeant Coltman at the same mo ment seized him by the collar, and asked him what he did it for, when Willis replied—" I meant this some time." By these words I understood that he meant to shoot deceased. John Ironbell, Corporal of the 9th Battalion of Artillery, heard the repot t of a musket, and on turning round saw the deceased fall, and the prisoner walking away from him indifferently. Deceased was a sober steady man. Lieutenant George William Bingham, of the Ist Ba talion of the Royal Artillery, was next sworn, and said, I knew the deceased, but he was not under my command. On Sunday morning last, after having taken breakfast, I rose to my window, which fronts the barrack-field, to see if it was time for me to get ready for parade before going to Church. I should think this was about twenty minutes to 10 o'clock, while standing at the window, my attention was directed to the prisoner, who appeared to move towards the deceased, who was standing cn the parade with his back towards lint (the prisoner). There were several soldiers and non commissioned officers around the deceased at the time, I immediately saw the prisoner raise his piece to his shoulder and fire at the deceased, who instantly fell on his face. The act was momentary, and before a word could escape from my lips. I directly ran out of the bar racks, and gave orders that the prisoner should be secure d, which was done by two or more soldiers. I then said, 4: What could have induced you to have committed such an act ?" He muttered, " I've thought of it for a long tune past." I think those are the precise words. There were other persons near at the time, and the guard of the Ma rines were mounting at, the time—the ball could have but passed a few inches from them. I presume that the pi i nner fully intended to shoot the deceased, by the position which he took, and the manner in which lie directed his aim. Mr William Richardson, assistant surgeon of the Royal Artillery, was next examined—On Tuesday ; he being one of the two medical off - lc( rs in attendance, received a sum mons to attend Sergeant-Major Sheppard, who had been shot; he instantly proceeded to the barrack-room, where the remains of the unfortunate man was lying. He had the clothes removed, and found a large wound in the chest between the right nipple and the centre of the chest. He examined the wound by the iatroduction of his finger, and imagining that it was there the ball had made its exit, he ordered the body to be turned over to ascertain where the ball had entered ; he found at the lower angle of the blade bone of the right shoulder. It was a gun-shot wound, and the ball had apparently perforated in a straight line. Two of the ribs were broken near the spine ; death, from the • nature of the injury, must have been instantaneous. The lungs were shattered, and the centre side of the heart per forated. Several soldiers were examined, who saw the deceased shot, and their evidence confirmed what has been stated above. A private of the name of Quick, who slept in the same room with the prisoner, deposed, that on Saturday evening he said to the prisoner if he did not look sharp he would not be in time to fall in with the piquet. Willis said he did not care, and inquired whether the Sergeant-major (the deceased) was on the parade. Witness replied that \ he was not. Willis than said that he should not go down, as he wanted to see the Sergeant-major, and if he did not see him that night he should see hint in the morning, and he then took off his regimentals, and did not fall in the 1 piquet that night. I Be the CORONER—Witness had not heard that a corn- Iplaint was made by the Sergeant-major for his not falling in with the piquet. He did riot know that Willis had Lis gun loaded. Willis asked three times if the Sergeant major was on the parade saying that he wanted to see him particularly. He did not, however, say on what subject he wished to see him on. William Bradford, a private of the same battalion, I said that the prisoner had a conversation with him on Saturday, and in the course of which the prisoner said he did not think he should have many more guard-mountings. Witness said, " What do you mean ?" Willis replied " Yon will see to-morrow." Wit ness rejoined " What of to morrow ?" " Wait and see," said the prisoner. " Well, and what of to-morrow ?" continued the witness. " Just wait and see," returned Willis ; adding, that " there is one particular person on the Parade I want to-morrow." They then separated. John Robinson, a gunner and driver of the Second Bat talion of the Royal Artillery, knew the deceased, and the prisoner. The prisoner had been in the regiment more than eleven months. He was of a surly and sullen dis position, and was far from being a pleasant companion. Complaints were always being made against him for un cleanness and other grievances by his comrades. The proceedings were here interrupted by a letter being handed to the Coroner. The purport did not transpire. but the Coroner said that he had been informed there were parties who were refused admittance ; he begged that the military would be ordered to allow free ingress to all parties who had business on this occasion. A reporter who attended for one of the metropolitan daily papers here stepped forward, and said he felt bound to inform the Coroner of the insult that he had received at the hands of the sentinel on guard at the gates of the hospital, and which had caused him to write the note in question. He had been arrested for endeavouring to ob tain egress into the inquest room, which he had but a few minutes left, and confined under guard, in one of the sen try-boxes, for upwards of an hour, though he had told the sentry on guard his business, in which he had been con firmed by others. Mr. CARTTAR said it certainly was a pity, but the sentry had no doubt obeyed his orders. Lord BL3ONIFIELD (with much warmth)—He has his orders, and he would not take any explanation from you or any one else. The REPORTER—Very well, my Lord. Other witnesses were examined, which occupied a con siderable time, but their evidence was of no importance. The CORONER addressed the prisoner. He warned him whatever he might say would be taken down and used against him hereafter. The prisoner declined saying anything. The CORONER then charged the Jury. There was little doubt in his mind, as to the conclusion they would come to —he felt there was little necessity to recapitulate the whole of the evidence. He then proceeded to give the principal features of the case, as adduced in evidence, and concluded by expressing his conviction that the Jury would return a verdict which would satisfy the public mind, but also an swer the ends of justice. The Jury retired for a few minutes, and on returning to the inquest room returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the prisoner George Willie, who was then committed to :derogate. A CAREFUL SERVANT.—On Friday night a man, who had Leen sent with a load of cheese from Leices ter Fair, was returning from Cambridge, and quietly laid himself down to sleep in his waggon. When nearly oppo site to Herningford the horses turned off the road into the ditch, and when the waggoner awoke, it is suppose d about three hou rs afterwards, he found one of his horses dead, and another so much injured as to be obliged to be killed ; and having lost one the day before, this careful servant pursued his way homewards with a single horse, having left Leicester with four.—Cambridge Chronicle. DEAFNESS.—At length this dreadful malady is completely obviated, without torture and serious risk by medical treatment. The Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle.street, Piccadilly, have constructed a Voice.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Ohl" 28. STOCKDALE V. HANSARD. In this case which involves the question of the privilege of the House of Commons, with regard to the publica tion of Parliamentary Papers, and in which the Attorney- General argued the case for the defendant in last Term, Mr. CURWOOD, this day replied on behalf of the plaintiff. Lord DENMAN said that the Court would take time to consider of their judgment, which would most probably be delivered on the first paper day. BAIL COURT, MAr 28. THE QUEEN V. WM. JOHNSON. The defendant in this case, who is a cotton-spinner, had been committed to the House of Correction, at Brixton, for six weeks, to hard labour, for having on the 9th of May, left certain work unfinished and quitted the service of his employer. Two objections were taken to the commitment, first that it set forth an offence over which the Magistrate had no jurisdiction, the defendant not coming with the de scription of servant ; and secondly, that the punishment was not warranted by the statute under which the convic tion took place. A rule had been granted to show cause why he should not be discharged from custody. Mr. CHAMBERS was heard in support of the rule and Mr. C. JONES against it.—Judgment deterred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON:GARDEN. Yesterday seven shop-keepers were convicted of using false weights and measures. Most of them pleaded guilty, and were fined 5/. and costs each.

It was also said that the army had moved forward and arrived at Sumeisat, on the Euphrates. Our correspondent adds, however, that these are vague rumours, requiring confirmation. He also states, that all the diplomatists residing in Con stantinople, whether friendly or inimical to the Sultan, are doing all they can to maintain peace in the East. Immediately after the arrival of the French steamer Ly curgus, from Marseilles, Admiral Stopford made a signal to the brig Jaseur to be ready to weigh anchor. This vessel sailed on the Bth for Corfu, with despatches for Commodore Parker. We are assured that the Commo dore has been ordered not to return to Malta, but to pro ceed directly to the Levant with the ships Rodney, Ta lavera, Bellerophon, and the frigate Castor, where be is to be joined by the Admiral with the remainder of the fleet. Admiral Stopford intends sailing as soon the En glish packet, which is expected from Gibraltar on the 15th, shall have arrived.--. Portfolio. BEATING A LADY INTO LOVE.—At Chelms ford Petty Sessions, on Tuesday, a young labourer, named Henry Bunn, was charged with endeavouring by certain blows, bruises, and fisty-cuffs, to make a lady, named Jane Quilter, fall violently and desperately in love with his own proper person. It appeared that Mr. Henry had for the last twelve months been pouring a flood of rustic eloquence into the ear of Miss Jane. But it was all labour lost— Jane's heart remained as hard as a six week's old Norfolk dumpling, and Mr. Bunn had meditated upon suicide in all its different forms and phases ; when a friend suggested a trial of the beefsteak principle—beating till she was tender. Accordingly he proceeded to the house at Woodham Ferris, on Sunday last, and put the advice gratis into immediate practice • but the more he beat her the harder Jane grew, and neither the application of fists, knees, or hob-nailed shoes, could induce her to turn a yielding glance on the swain, and gently whisper, " Dear Henry, I cannot resist these pressing appeals--I'm yours." No, instead of taking him to her own, she consigned him to the arms of the con stable. Defendant now pleaded his passion in justification of the blows; but this not being admitted, he was fined ss. and costs,, which he paid, and left the Court, casting " looks that burn" at the witching face which had filched his heart and emptied his leathern purse of 15s. 6d.— Chelmsford Chronicle. CURIOUS CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—A smartly dressed young woman, who gave her name Matilda Vasine Zadi, was placed at the bar of the Marylebone•office, charged by Mr. William Ashby, a man about 70 years of age, with the following robbery appeared from the evidence that en Monday week last as prosecutor was walking along the Harrow-road he was accosted by the prisoner, who, after telling him that she was a teacher of music and somewhat distressed, requested him to lend her 6d., which he did, and being much interested respecting her, invited her to breakfast with bim on the following morning. She came, and discoursed largely respecting her travels abroad, and on quitting the place was pressed to renew her visit on the nut Thursday. She arrived at the appointed time and took her seat in the parlour, but had not been long there when she begged of prosecutor to leave the room for a short period while she tied up her garter. He did so, and on his return discovered that she bad fled, and with her his silver watch and appendages, which she had stolen from the mantel-piece. He then gave information to the police, by whom the prisoner was apprehended. The watch, &c., which bad been pledged by prisoncr,. were here produced. In reply to the charge the prisoner said that the property in question was given to her by the prosecutor, who had taken liberties with her in his house. This was strongly denied, and the prisoner was committed for trial. A QUAKER-SOLDIER.—A Court-martial was held at the Marine Barracks, Chatham, last week, on a drummer named Dine, for disobedience of orders, he having refused to carry his sword. The excuse was that it was against his religion to take up arms, he bavinw be come a member of the Society of Friends Many of the Quakers from Rochester attended, arid assisted him in hie defence. The Court found him guilty, and sentenced him to three months' hard labour.—Maidstone Gazette. THEATRES. HER MAJESTY'S. Signor Tati appeared here last night as first tenor, and was so unfavourably received that when, after the scene between Adelgisa and Norma, the Roman Lovelace rushes in to join in a trio, he was not forthcoming. In the midst of their most energetic acting the two fair cousins were struck dumb and motionless, and, ultimately awaken ing to their awkward position, took fairly to their heels. The curtain dropped, and although more than one ani mated scene no doubt took place behind it, the company , before it exhibited for some time much equanimity. No thing, however, stirring or, the stage, the public manifested an impatience which was not long in swelling into an up roar. Laporte, whose name predominated amidst the dis cordant cries, was at length brought forward, but could not obtain an immediate hearing. He was at last heard to say that Signor Tati was taken very ill, which an nouncement was received with derisive sounds and in creased noise. He next avid that Signor Tati's career was blasted by his ill reception that night, and that he was so overcome that he could not appear. The lessee, amidst another outburst of uncouth sounds, begged to know what he had better do, when Rubini was lo,udly demanded. Laporte urged that Rubini had stipulated in his engage ment that he should not play in Norma. Whereupon he was reproached with not having secured a second tenor, and not having engaged Ivanoff. The perplex ing dialogue was proceeding, when one gentleman loudly advised the Impressario " to go on as well as he could." The suggestion produced a general roar of laughter, under the cover of which M. Laporte gladly made his exit. Another rather turbulent interval ensued. Signor Costa, remembering that " Music has charms to soothe the savage breast," then struck up an overture, which, after a few scarcely audible bars, was stopped by fresh orders, loudly issued by Laporte from the side scene. The curtain then rose, and discovered to the audience Signor Tati and the two Grisis, all three as pale as The Ghost of Hamlet's sire. The encouraging applause of the appeased house restored them to their pristine spirits, and the opera finished with great eclat. Grisi and Tati were called for amidst general plaudits, which the latter feelingly acknow ledged. The house was fashionably attended consider- a ing the festivities at Windsor Castle and the Ascot races; Among the company present we noticed her Royal High ness the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Augusta of Cambridge. COVENT-GARDEN. Last night Miss Rainforth took her benefit at this theatre to a house (with the exception of the private boxes), crowded to the slips. The performances commenced with As you like it, Miss Rainforth playing Celia, Miss Helen Faucit Rosalind, and Mr. Macready Jacques. The per formances terminated with The Slave, in which Mips Rainforth, as Zerlinda, sang the " Echo Song." She was generally well and warmly received during the evening.

COUNT MONSTER.—The death of Count Munster has liberated the Hanoverian Cabinet from a most unpleasant dilemma—not that he had ever been classed among the supporters of the fundamental law. On the contrary, he had contrived to render himself P. , ore unpo pular than he probably deserved to be. He was considered as leaning to the doctrines of Absolutism more than he ap pears to have done in reality. Count Munster never con sented to form part of the present Administration. From the beginning a rumour had been afloat that he was averse to extreme measures, and that he disapproved of the sys tem of the Cabinet. As things were grOwing worse this rumour acquired strength. A recent occasion seems to have roused him from the part of a mere passive looker on. Count Munster had been invested by the late King with the hereditary dignity of Marshal of the Chambers." As such, it was_ bis office to_ introduce and swear in the new Members. After the late scandalous elections, he is said to have roundly declared that he would not introduce any one of those Members who had been returned by a minority, and whose election the Cabinet laboured to re present as valid. This statement acquires some degree of probability from having been denied by the Hanover Ga zette. An angry conversation is even reported to have taken place between him and the King. When the King threatened to take away his possession of Derneburg (the gift of George IV.), Munster is said to have replied, " Your Majesty may dispose of Derneburg as you please ; but my conscience is in my own keeping." ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—On Sunday afternoon about four o'clock, a young girl about sixteen years of age, the daughter of respectable parents, took a boat at Lam beth Stairs, and ordered the waterman to take her across the river ; but when about half way across, she suddenly started up and threw herself into the water. The water man instantly got hold of her, and with considerable diffi culty got her into the boat. She was at first insensible, but having come to herself, she was removed to her home, at No. 7, Swan-yard, and put to bed. Her name is Mary Robertson. No reason is assigned for her attempting suicide. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF A DOUBLE AT TEMPT AT SELF-DESTRUCTION YESTERDAY.— A most determined act of self-destruction took place yesterday at an early hour, at No. 27, Piccadilly. At about half past one a young woman not more than nineteen years of age, of preposessing, and indeed handsome countenance, whose name is Mary Holland, and living as servant at the above named house, precipitated herself from the third floor window into the street; it is needless to add the body was raised a mangled corpse—the whole of the upper part of the skull was crushed in, and the brains of the unfortu nate young woman protruded through the ears. On raising the body up it was found that, previously to throw ing herself out of window, she had cut her throat in a most shocking manner, but although the strictest search has been made for the knife or instrument with which it was done it can no where be found. The body was taken to the hospital, where it awaits the Coroner's inquest. No possible reason for the commission of this extraor dinary suicide can be given by the master or mistress of the deceased, who was much liked for her kind and willing disposition. Upon information being given Inspector Beresford, of the Vine-street sta tion, he early this morning sent information to the Coroner, in order that an inquiry may take place as to the cause of this melancholy event. At the time the occurrence took place no human aid could avail; but the stretcher was instantly procured, to place upon it a wretched corpse. AYLESBURY RAILWAY.—On Monday last, the Directors of the above Company assembled at the junction between Tring and Leigton, and proceeded, in company with a deputation from the London and Birmingham Rail way Company, down the line to the terminus at Aylesbury, after which the Directors assembled in Committee in the Magistrates' Chamber in the Chamber Hall, and decided upon opening the line for the conveyance of passengers and traffc on Tuesday, the 11th of June next. By the advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10i-d. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 10, and the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13. 61, it follows that gold is I. 74 per cent. dearer at Hamburg than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 10 per Mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10id. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 40, and the exchange at Paris on Lon don at short being 25. 22k, it follows that gold is O. 70. per cent. dearer at Paris than in London. The two Delegates, Richardson, and Dean, who have been deputed by the Convention to agitate the southern districts, attempted to get up a meeting it Chi. chester on Thursday. Application was made to the lessee of the market-house to allow that place to be used for the purposes of the lectures, but it was refused. Ultimately a "gathering" took place at the Fountain, and proved a most miserable failure. At seven not more than forty person= were present, most of whom were agricultural la bourers, each armed with a stout stick. The numbers afterwards amounted to 100, principally of the lower orders. PEASANTS' WAGES.-4t appears that the ave rage wages paid to the labourers who till the soil of that garden of England (Devonshire) are under eight shillings a week 1 The price of provisions as well as house-rent is, we believe, somewhat lower than in London. Tens of thousands of heads of families are there toiling for a shil ling or fourteen pence a day each, which, supposing them to have a wife and three children, will not be more than eighteen-pence a head—less by sixpence than is allowed for the subsistence of a pauper in the Manchester work house—nay, less than is paid for the food and clothing of the criminals confined in our New Bailey prison I Such are the peasantry of beautiful Devonshire. Truly may it be said of that county— God cleated a paradise, end man surrounded it with an atmosphere of misery, and peopled it with the wretched victims of selfish l e gislation I —Anti- Corn law Circular. The " Anti-Corn-law Circular" states the in tention of the Directors to send a Lecturer to London as s,on as their provincial engagements will permit them t o p.'rforni this public service :—" London, beyond all other ~,„I :l , , t i n gofe lp a ss s r i i .
