That Church which has so often and so heroically fought the battle of con• stitutional liberty against civil and ecclesiastical despotism and violence, they would gladly see in the baSe attitude of a repentant suppliant, imploring, with tears of anguish and humiliation, the Church of Rome to receive her back again into its fold ! Such language as this a recreant, who calls himself a minister of the Church of England—and who, holding such opinions and expressing such wishes, has not been ashamed to continue in the ministry and connexion of the Church which has nourished his treason in her bosom—such language he has ventured to utter, to repeat, and to record, in this very year 1845. In the columns of a Contemporary we observe a significant indication of the spread which this " dis turbing force" of Puseyism is making in the sister University of Cambridge. We have already shown how at Oxford and elsewhere it confounds words with things, forms with principles; how it abuses doctrine to exalt ceremonial, and is prompt to sacri fice the essentials of " true religion undefiled," to the vanities and innovations incorporated into the scheme of Christian worship by the superstition or worldly notions of policy that have prevailed in high places during the ascendancy of the worst corruptions of the Church of Rome. We can heartily sympathise, however, with the laudable and ever generous reverence that enlightened Protestants entertain for that spirit of magnificence in their devotions, and for the lofty genius, and bold yet beautiful conception attested in the sacred edifices they have left behind them, which record to the latest posterity the sin cerity and solemnity of the faith professed by our Roman Catholic forefathers. The " CAMBRIDGE CAM DEN SOCIETY," instituted for the purpose of contri• buting to the preservation and restoration of these noble works, has been pursuing a career of singular usefulness with most meritorious liberality. Its efforts have had a direct tendency to induce the ex tension of the habits of Church going, and whilst at taining that permanent object to improve and refine the public taste of the present day, and to perpetuate the remembrance of the founders of such precious fabrics. Is it not insufferable that because the great body of the members composing this Society are naturally offended with their Puseyite Committee for incorporating into the Society's republications and papers, on every possible occasion, the stan'ps and badges of the Roman mummery which the Puseyite doctors and deacons so profoundly affect, the public are about to lose the benefit of its existence ? Like the Established Protestant Church of England, which your WARDS, and your NEWMANS, and your PAL MERS " cannot away with," the Cambridge Camden Society is to be overthrown by the insidious under working of these Pusey moles. We have read the following passages with a regret in which we are con fident our readers will fully participate:— " The dissolution of this Society, which, according to the announcement of the President on Thursday evening last, is to take place in May next, will not, it is ru moured in the University, pass off very quietly on that day, if indeed it will be allowed to fall without a pre vious struggle. Some of the resident mem b ers are o f opinion, and it is thought that a great number also of the non-resident ones are of a similar one, namely, that a plan fur a church at Hong-Kong, or anywhere else, can be furnished without a Romish calendar being printed simultaneously at the Pitt press for the Secretary of the Society, and the envelope stamped with the effigy of a Romish saint. . . . The questions are asked—cannot the study of ecclesiastical architecture be pursued un less in connexion with the encouragement of the absur dities and errors of superstition ? and the Committee think the avowed object of the Society not worth car rying out, unless it can be made the means of promoting objects not avowed ? As the Society has recently ex cited a deal of public interest, it were as well, in justice to all parties, that its avowed objects should be publicly known. " The Cambridge Camden Society was instituted in May, 1839, for the promotion of the study of ecclesias tical architecture and antiquities, and the restoration of mutilated architectural remains. Such being its avowed object, it afforded opportunities for the mutual study of ecclesiological subjects to its resident members, and circulated amongst its non-resident ones the papers read at the meetings of the Society. It disseminated, moreover, a variety of publica tions, some of which were intended for the use of mem bers, while others were addressed more generally to influential classes immediately connected with the preservation, restoration, and building of churches. It made occasional grants, as in the case of the Round Church, Cambridge, in aid of particular restorations. and corresponded with similar societies founded fur si milar objects in other places. Amongst these is cul tivated a good understanding with the Oxford Society for promoting. the study of Gothic architecture, with the Exeter Diocesan, _Lichfield, Durham, Yorkshire, Down, Connor, and Dromore, and Bristol Architectural Societies, the members of which enjoyed the privilege of purchasing the publications of the Cambridge Camden Society on the same terms as its own members." Will the Cambridge Camden Society permit us to exhort them to a . stout fight, and to the determined maintenance of their most useful course and very in valuable labours ? They may be assured that the benefits of that course, and the evidence of their la bours, will survive long after the overheated vision aries who have managed thus to vex the Church are forgotten for their folly, or, if remembered, remem bered only in pity for the caprices of human fatuity. The " Navy Estimates" for l 845-46 are not among the least remarkable of the sessional papers which have yet been published, nor among the lust signi ficant, perhaps, of the " signs of the times." An " abstract," as usual, precedes them, which is classified under 59 heads of general services, and exhibits, in six several columns in juxta- position, the "gross esti mate for the year 1845-46; deductions (credits re served in aid of the costs) required to be voted for the service of the said current year ; gross estimate for the year 1844-45 ; deductions (credits reserved in aid of the grants) ; last vote for the financial year 1844-44.' The " grand total" of these estimates for the currentyear is . stated at 7,151,5551.; that for 1844-45 was 6,250,120/. Excess of naval estimates for the present year, 901,4351. The number of seamen to be voted this year for the fleet, surveying- vessels, and troop-ships (including 1,188 for Post-office packets), 27,500; boys, 2,000 ; Royal Marines to be employed afloat, 5,500 ; ditto, to be employed on shore, 5,000: total number of men and boys, 40,000. The principal heads on which the votes to be taken for the current year, after allowing and deducting for "credits," will exceed those of 1844-45, are these :—Wages to seamen and marines, 1,289,5431.; excess over last year, 119,0671.; victuals for ditto, 610,5451.; excess, 65,5851., ages to artificers in her MAJESTY'S establishments at home, 649,; 04/. ; excess, 41,5261. Naval stores for building and repair of ships, &c., 1,199,1411.; excess, 145,1761. New works, improvements and repairs of yards, 486,3461.; excess, 187,480/. Miscellaneous ser vices,llB,4s7l.; excess, 56,827/ Post-office department (contract packet service), 544,774/. ; excess, 112,2331. There is, besides, an aggregate of 16,0411. excess, as compared vcith 1844-45 on the total estimates for the following services in the current year 1845-46 ; namely, Admiralty- office, 129,092/. ; General-Register and Record-office of seamen, 11,6081.; scientific branch, 39,545/. ; her MAJESTY'S establishments at home, 131,047/. ; ditto, abroad, 22,957/. As com pared with 1844 and 1845, the total decrease in the aggregate of the present estimates is only 57,7661. This excess of the estimated charge for 1844 and 1845 is thus stated :—On wages to artificers in her MAJESTY's establishments abroad, 851.; on medicines and medical stores, 4071.; on half-pay of officers of Navy and Royal Marines, 12,6561.; on military pensionst and allowances, 6 , 0771 .; on civil , pensions and allowances, 4,472/. ; on Army and Ordnance de partments, conveyance of troops, 29,4851.; and on Home department (convict service), 4,6541.: total excess of estimates for last year on the current year, on six heads of service, 57,7661. Among the details we notice, under Nt,. 10 of the present Estimates (naval st ores for building and re pairing ships, &c.), for purchase of timber and mate rials, 756,068/. ; coals or other fuel for steam-vessels, 85,721/. ; purchase and repair of steam machinery, 280,000/. ; for building new steam-vessels, 108,0001. Madrid papers of the 14th instant have been re ceived, but they bring no news. The country ap pears to be perfectly tranquil. On that clay the Three per Cents. closed at 334 for cash, and 331 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 241 at 60 days ; and the Coupons at 264 at 60 days. The debate on the Secret Service Money Bill commenced in the French Chamber of Deputies on Thursday. Long before the question was brought forward (about three o'clock) the tribunes and gal. leries were thronged, and much interest was evinced in the contest between the Government and the coali tion. M. LUERBETTE, who was the first speaker, made - an attack on -M. GuizoT for, the dismissal of the Count ST. PRIEST, on account of his vote on the PRITCHARD affair, to which the Minister replied, and triumphantly asked whether a public functionary, who constantly opposed the Government, could be longer employed in its service. This was met by loud. cheers from the Ministerial party, and the only answer to it was given by M. DE L'Huvs, another of the dismissed, who charged M. GUIZOT, while Am bassador at London, with voting against M. TRIERS, and overturning his Ministry. On Wednesday a deputation of postmasters had an interview with the KING, and presented a petition praying for indemnification for the losses they had sustained by railroads. His MAJESTY admitted the justice of their demands, and said—" If by a new system certain privileged bodies lose a portion of their vested rights, an equivalent indemnity appears but an act of justice. This serious question has already oc cupied the attention of Ministers, and is about again to become the subject of their deliberations." We have no later accounts from Lausanne than the 16th inst. In a supplement to the Helretie it is ' announced that the new Council of the Canton de Vaud had informed the confederated States of the changes which had taken place at Lausanne. The public service had not been interrupted, and the peo ple after the victory had conducted themselves with great order and propriety. Their neighbours, how ever, are anxiously watching the movements. Austria, it was said, had resolved to interfere, and the French Government had ordered reinforcements of the troops on the frontiers. The Canton of Berne had acknowledged the new Council and entered into rela tions with it. The French Funds were a shade lower. The Three per Cents. closed at Ba. ; the New Loan at 86f. ; the Five per Cents. at 122 f. 65c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,187 f. 50c.; Rouen, 1,105 f.; Havre, 902 f. 50c. ; Spanish Three per Cents., 41i ; Ditto, Passives, 6i; Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 611. 80c. VOTE of CONFIDENCE in FRENCH MINISTERS. PARIS, FRIDAY, HALF-PAST EIGHT, P.M. The adjourned discussion upon the Secret Service Bill commenced to day by a speech from M. Joly against the bill. He was replied to by M. Liadieres, who was interrupted by M. niers in a most extraor dinary manner, the latter exclaiming that it was the King who was the first to set the example of singing the Marseilla!se. _ _ . M. Boudet then proposed that the sum demanded be reduced by 25,000 f. The Count d'Haussonville combated the amendment, which was supported by N. Billault, in a violent speech, who was met by M. Guizot, to whom Odillon Barrot replied. At seven o'clock, the close of the debate upon the amendment was called for, when the nominal appeal was mule, and the question of confidence implied in the amendment was put to the vote, when there appeared—For the amendment, 205 ; against it, 229—majority fur Ministers, 24. The Cham ber then proceeded to vote upon the original proposition for a million of francs; when there appeared—For, 217; against, 41—majority for Ministers, 176. The Opposi tion left after the vote on the amendment, as they did when beaten on the address. The Chamber rose at eight o'clock. The Funds to-day at the close of the Bourse were— Five per Cents., 122 f. 70c.; Three per Cents., 85E sc. ~ THE SUN" EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESSES. THE BUDGET. UNEXAMPLED EXPEDITION OF THE PRESS.—It Will no doubt be interesting to your readers to state an instance of expedition connected with the public press, which must ap pear altogether incredible to those who are unacquainted with the machinery by which this mighty intellectual levia than is moved. On last Friday evening the Prime Minister commenced his financial statement at exactly twenty minutes to five o'clock. Of course all was anxiety out of doers to learn its revelations. The commercial, the trading, the political world were on the tip-toe of expectation. Never, we believe, did the opening of any budget create such interest, or occa sion so much anxious inquiry. At twenty minutes to five o'clock, I said, Sir Robert Peel rose to commence his address, and he spoke to within five minutes to eight, or exactly three hours and a quarter—a speech full of statistical facts and elaborate calculations, and therefore one of the most difficult character to report, and vet at half-past eight o'clock, just half an hour after the Minister had sat down, an express edition of The Sun newspaper was published, containing a verbatim report of the speech, to the extent of ten columns, which, by the spirited and enterprising proprietor, was dispatched by an express train, per railway, northwards carrying the intelligence of the important modifications pro-, posed fUll twelve hours earlier than any other paper in the metropolis. A report, be it observed, got up with unexampled rapidity, yet admitted to have been one of the most cor peaogsrat gallery in t e r t rect that has yet appeared. This is justly entitled to be called one of the miracles of the press, and a remarkable illustration of what system and the proper division of labour can accomplish. The report was taken in short-hand by about nine reporters, each occupying in succession the gallery for five minutes, and employing the interim in writing out their notes for the compositors, or dictating to several amanuensis employed to write for the press. By this arrangement, car ried out under the superintendence of one of the most able and experienced gentlemen engaged on the metropolitan press, all went on as.regular as clock-work— no confusion was c an r to e tn a eo t s e t d oifm ; t time n e : r. aetsphoteh:ee settingr p s 3 i r n , o p r os m sue a ps n soi u ot s . nt c h r o i ef p tr t he , was ready, was regularly dispatched by messengers to the printers ; so that , y o p f e t morehe House. o t u li s a e n . a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes behind the short-hand I have been thus minute as I am certain but few of your os e o r r whenever't t'eeocdt, put in and ttei il r a ei o s gpc ecuanabcs public io r .c_ i n b iußnt requires e ip, n io d s e e; s t h o iaoi mtn a , readers are aware of the machin ery b y w hi c h th e d a il y press of pares awt t rh l s i ee i ps s ane n pa ro i e i r g el ix h epse t r y trot pi ß aorn a ni ed b to y orm l r o e n oxwsp i ht s eon m e, Pilot. - __ EXPEDITIOUS TRAVELLING. —TH E MESSRS. JOHNSTON. OF DUBLIN.—We copy, in the preceding page, an account of the rapidity with which Mr. Johnston, of Dublin, travelled to and from London, for the purpose of bringing over Sir Robert Peel's financiatstatement. We received, on Sunday morn ing, a copy of the paper ( The Sun) thus brought.--Northern Whig. Through the public spirit of the proprietor of The sun, Murdo Young, Esq., we were enabled last Saturday morning to publish in Exeter an outline of the financial statement of Sir Robert Peel, delivered in the House of Commons the night before. Express edition copies of The Sun were re ceived in our office early in the morning, and distributed to the news-rooms. This edition contained the whole of the speech.— Western Times (Exeter). Acknowledgments have also been received from the Chel tenham Free Press, Gloucestershi re Chronicle, Second Edition of the Staffordshire Advertiser, North Staffordshire Mercury, Leamington Spa Courier, and the Shropshire Conservative. MR. BIJNN'S BENEFIT.—We perceive that Mr. Bunn has announced his benefit for this day week, and we doubt not but that he will have a bumper, at least he deserves it for his efforts as a caterer for the public amusement have been as untiring as they have been judicious. Let all those who have admired the gorgeous splendours of The Corsair and the Danaides—who have been deli.thted by the exquisite melody of The Boh e m i an Girl, the only English opera that has ever had a run of a hundred nights— or who have been astonished by the magnificence, and enraptured by the music of that greatest of specta cle operas, The Daughter of St.Marh—only remember their obligations to Mr. Bunn, and we are satisfi e d that his benefit will exceed his most sanguine expecta tions. FUNERAL OF Ma. LAMAN BLANCHARD.—On Sa• turday afternoon the remains of this truly estimable and much-lamented gentleman were interred in the cemetery at Norwood. He was followed to his earthly resting. place by a number of his early and valued collabo , Gteurs in the field of literature, and other friends endeared t.) him by the warmth and kindliness of a heart that never har boured a thought that be might blush to own. The chief mourners on the sad occasion were the three sons of Mr. Blanchard, with Mr. Evans, Mr. Keym' r, and Mr. Smith, brithers in-law to the deceased. There were also present—Mr. E. Tennent, M.P.

HUNT'S CURE OF STAMMERING. — From the candid opening of his natural and efficacious system, and witnessing not a few of its successful applications to ap parently desperate as well as less distressing cases, we have, to the utmost of our power, promoted the general knowledge of what we deemed to be a general blessing. Holding this opinion, it has afforded us much gratification to find that one of the last acts of one of the most popular and respected gentlemen who has for many a year sustained as it should be, with courtesy, discrimination, and sound judg. ment, the important office of Lord Mayor of London, has confirmed us in all we have ever published on this subject. The following, in addition to his numerous high medical and other distinguished testimonials, will, we trust, direct the public attention still more especially to Mr. Hunt's con solatory practice : Mansion-house, Nov. 7, 1844. " When holding the office of Sheriff, Mr. Hunt, of Regent-street, made me acquainted with the principles aids system for the cure of stammering, and unreservedly showed me their successful application in the case of George Pearson, who witnessed the treasonable attempt on her Majesty's litii, Francis, and whose Impediment of speech prevented him from giving an instant alarm ; and my conviction is, that if Mr. Hunt's instructions are attended to with common dili gence, they are perfectly adapted to confer permanent benefit on the BilulerQus class of the community who suffer under this affliction.

The number admitted into the schools in 1843, was 68,289, while at the commencement of that year not fewer than 227,800 French soldiers, or more than one half of the army, could neither write nor read. The budget of the city of Path for 1845, as ap• proved of by royal ordonnance, has just been published: The receipts are estimated at 46,017,214 f., of which 30,529,000 f. are for octroi duties.

It is because of their knowledge of this fact, we suppose, that members of very conflicting parties and opinions are bent upon teaching Sir ROBERT PEEL and Mr. GOULBURN, that to meddle with Sugar duties may be one of the bitterest tasks which it can devolve on a Minister to perform. The House of Commons' paper of " Notices of Motion" for this evening, supplies a delectable illustration of this phenomenon. When Sir ROBERT PEEL brought forward his financial statement, on the 14th instant, his proposition about the contemplated reduction of the sugar duties was, perhaps, the least palatable of all the fiscal changes be proposed. It is true the Right Hon. Baronet assumed that the result of such alterations as he advocated in these duties would be to reduce the cost of sugar to the consumer by some 11d. a pound. Undoubtedly, if this could be realised, the boon would be a most beneficial and a very cons siderable one. But what were the anticipations assigned by himself as the data on which he calcu lated this resulting diminution of price ? The largely increased production of the Mauritius and of our chief West India sugar-growing colonies. Now, to this increase of -production certain conditions are in dispensably necessary. The most paramount of these is a vastly enlarged application of free labour to the soil from whence this extended production is to be raised. But what favourable prospect of this sort has the singularly ineffective colonial administration of Sir R. PEEL'S Government supplied us with ? Is it to be found in Lord STANLEY'S cold and sybil-like responses (ambiguous in their expression, super ciliously indifferent in their tone), to the planters and proprietors, and legislatures of our colonies, when they have remonstrated and entreated, in vain, touch ing his halting, uncertain policy about encouraging the importation of Coolies for Bengal ; or promoting with good faith and energy the immigration of active and skilful labourers from the coasts and islands of the Chinese empire ? We are far from doubting, for an instant, the prodigious fertility of Jamaica, the Mauritius, or Trinidad ; but the scarcity of field labour, and the apathy of the emancipated negroes, who formerly supplied it to those possessions, have, for some years, kept their powers of production in comparative abeyance. That scarcity must be effectually remedied, in the first instance, before the increased import, or anything like it, can be looked for, which is the basis of Sir R. PEEL'S sanguine expectations of largely reducing the price of colonial sugars to the British consumer. If such a very extended amount of produce be not realised, the simple operation of his plan will be to give in creased protection to the sugar of our West Indian colonies and the Mauritius, at the expense of the consumer, to the benefit of the planter. The author of a clever little pamphlet which has just been sent to us, called "The Sugar Question,"* proposes to remit the entire duty on all our colonial sugars, and to place one of 18s. per cwt. on all foreign sugars, not merely prohibiting slave-grown sugar for refining, but excluding it alto gether. This plan, if we could deem it practicable, would have the merit, at least, of extreme simplicity ; nor should we quarrel with the advantage it might yield to our West India proprietors, provided only that it secured to the English consumer his sugar at the cheapest price. Did Sir ROBERT reflect on the imbroglio his own discriminating plan was preparing, not only as between opposing interests of the slave labour and the free-labour grower, but as between the West India and the East India grower ? Mr. HOGG, we see, after a significant notice to move for illustra tive papers and returns, the bearing of which it is not difficult to surmise, has another notice of a resolution, by way of amendment on the Ministerial one—" That there ought not to be any discriminating duty between sugars, muscovado and clayed, not being refined ; and that any such duty would interfere with the measure of equalisation between sugars the produce of the East and West Indies." Mr. M. GIBSON opens on the advancing column of the Ministerial proposition, from another (the Opposition) flank, a battery of this sort :—" That no arrangement of the sugar duties will be satisfactory and permanent which does not involve an equalisation of duty on foreign and colonial sugars." From another part of the field Lcrd JOHN RUSSELL BUMS to the attack of the Government plan with this threatening de monstration :—" That the plan proposed by her MAJESTY'S Government, in reference to the sugar duties, professes to keep up a distinc tion between foreign free labour and foreign slave labour sugar, which is impracticable and illusory ; aggravates the evil of the protection given to the colonist at the expense of the consumer ; and tends so greatly to impair the revenue as to render the removal of the income and property-tax, at the end of three years, extremely uncertain and improbable." A pleasant choice of antagonists among all these propositions, the latter being, especially in its declaratory part, the most formidable of all. We shall look with much curiosity to the debate of this evenin g, and not absolutely without a sort of sympathy for the per plexing condition of the Minister. The so-much talked-of " sweets of office " are not to be culled, it would appear, from " sugar " duties. * Published by Smith, Elder, and Co., Comhill, London, 1845 We are far from imputing to the heads of our English Universities the fact of their labouring under that species of malady which the accomplished Roman apprehended of the eloquent Apostle—" that too much learning hath made them mad." Still, we are not without our misgivings that amidst the con flicting agitations of the Church and the distractions of its affairs, their self-possession and ordinary sanity are becoming more than questionable. There is a formidable minority of upwards of 3011 wayward children of our nursing mother of Oxford committed, through a series now of some eight or nine years, by a long succession of overt acts of reproach and un faithfulness to the canons and practice of the Established Protestant Church, to a scandalizing re pudiation of their venerable parent and guardian. That repudiation they have sealed within this fort night by a solemn vote which must be considered in the nature of a protest against all proceedings, penal or admonitory only, against all impugners of the "Articles" which the offenders had signed, whose contumacy in since rejecting and abrogating them, the University has been appealed to are fullyotoeo ar nd a e w mn e . The champions of Puseyism, it seems, of all the mischiefs, the the heart-burnings, the uncharitableness, the scandal, disunion, and decay they are infusing into the system of that Church for which they will still profess a vague and, therefore, unintelligible attachment. Yet is it clear from their own showing, that they set more store by the dress and ceremonial with which the altar shall be ap proached, and the decorations wherewith it shall be spread, than by the upholding of that pure, spiri tualised, and simple worship which is at once so con formable to our notions of the inexpressible majesty of the SUPREME BEING, whose true temple, after all is not built by human hands, and so obviously con sistent with the ethical theology and the divine mcrality taught to man by His beneficent impersona tion. They would look on with delight at the downfal of that Church, which, organized as it were by v a sustaining energies, inspiration f rom a b ove , an d it s o w n intuit e under all the discouragement and difficulties of that night of superstition through which its star was yet to shine ; and the bigoted persecutions with it was to encounter at the hands of ene h rnies e , able, mu ltitudinous, th mu ltitudinous, and powerful, armed it judices of ages, as well As the accumulated authority COURT CURCULA R.

The usually quiet neighbourhood of Haws:- ,d and Kentish-town, throughout the whole of Swill-day, pre sented a scene of the most intense excitement, in conse quence of the discovery of a most inhuman murder and highway robbery which had been perpetrated upon a gentleman the preceding evening in a field near Bellsize Park, Hampstead. From the statement of the constable in charge of the body it appears that between 7 and 8 on Friday night, Mr. Hilton, of West-end, was proceeding along the Finchley-road, in the direction of the Swiss Cottage, in a cart, when, all of a sudden, his attention was arrested by hearing screams of murder, which appeared to proceed from the vicinity of the footpath leading to Bellsize Park. At this juncture he perceived a gentleman, who turns out to be Mr. Kilburn, junior, the son of a gentleman residing at Haver stock-terrace, coming from the direction of th e S w i ss Cottage, who was about to take the path from the road in the same turning as the noise appeared to proceed from. Mr. Hilton immediately told Mr. Kilburn what he had heard, and added, " Sir, if you will see about it, I will at once drive to the Swiss Cottage, and follow yea." . Mr. Kilburn then went fo: ward. lipon arriving at the end of the field he was horror-stricken at seeing the body of a man lying on the ground, on the we-tern side of the stile. In alarm he ran back to , wards the spot from whence he had started, crying, "Mur der," and " police!" His cries reached the ears of Ser geant Fletcher, of the S. division, who, accompanied by Police: constable :Abbott, hastened in the direction of the cries, and shortly after were joined by several other persons from the Swiss-cottage. They then found the body of a very respectably-dressed man, about three yards on the Hainp , tead side of the stile, lying on his face in a pool of blood. He was quite deal, but warm, and the blond was running frtan a frightful gash, which had, to all appearances, been inflicted by some sharp in strument over the right eye and temple, ' and from the back of the skull, which was literally dashed in, causing 'the brain to protrude. The body was, without a moment's loss of time, con veyed on a stretcher to the Yorkshire Grey Tavern. It was there examined, when the pockets of deceased were found some of them turned inside out, and it was evi dent, from the appearance •of the wei4eotit left hand pocket, that the unfortunate deceased had been in the.' habit of wearing a watch, which had been taken away. Nothing whatever was found on his person, with the ex ception of an envelope with the superscription, " J. CdOper, Esq., Hampstead-road." Near to where : the body was discovered was found one of the deceased's gloves (a black kill one), the other being • still upon his hand. His hat was discovered some few yards from :he spot where the body lay, in the narrow ditch passing along the outside of the wall of Bellsize Park—it is of beaver, nearly new, and bearing the name on. the inside, " Massey, maker, Hampstead-road." The wounds at the back of the head were probably inflicted by some blunt instrument, whilst the injuries over the right eye and ymple have been done with the sharp edge of a shovel, or some weapon of a similar description. No clue has been obtained likely to lead to a discovery of the murderers, nor has the body bt en as yet identified. The following is an accurate description of the person of the unfortunate gentleman :—He was of fair com plexion, sandy curly hair, about five feet six inches high, and rather inclined to corpulency. The features appear much swollen and covered with blood. The go neral opinion is that he was not more than twenty. six or twenty-seven years of age. His attire consisted of a black beaver hat, brown wrapper of fine cloth, with brown velvet facings ; black body coat with velvetcollar, black kerseymere trousers, and a dark blue single breasted vest (valencia), with a small red flower and sprigs • Wellington boots, and his linen, which is of the very finest fabric, is marked " D" with indelible ink. MARRIAGES IN ENGLAND...--It appears from very elaborate tables, prepared by the Registrar-General of births, deaths, and marriages, and on Tuesday laid before Parliament, that the total number of marriages, it 1842, in. England and Wales was, 118,825 ; of these 17,689 were in the metropolis alone. Of this number, 26,198 were persons who had been married before, the proportion being 15,619 widowers, and 10,579 widows. Thus, the proportion per cent. of those who were remarried was 11.02 for the whole of England, and 12.34 or the metropolis. The proportion of annual marriages to persons of all ages was 1 in 130 in all England, 1 in 102 in London ; the annual marriages were to the persons aged from 20 to 40, nearly as 1 to 40 in England, 1 to 37 in the metropolis ; or, more exactly, 2.515 per cent. ; and 2 675 (as regards London). Taking 100,000 persons, it further appears, that in England, 1,473 were married of that number, of all ages, 4,814 between 20 and 40, and 4,278 were " bachelors and spinsters married to 100,000 persons living, aged 20 to 40." There was, altogether, one marriage to 136 males and females living in 1842, but only one person married for the first time to 76 . 3 persons living, which may be considered equivalent to one marriage to 153 persons living. Eleven per cent. of the persons married had been married before, and had been enumerated in the returns of previous years. In 1839, the number married out of 100,000 males was 1,625; and of 100,000 females, 1,553 ; in 1840, 1,597 males. and 1,526 females ; in 1841, 1,574 males. ami 1,504 females; and in 1P42, 1,506 maks, awl 1,439 f'lilale3. Thus, it will be perceived that there has been a yearly de crease during that period. The annual average has been, however, 1. is 64 eat 0100,000, and 66 females, SPORTING I TELLIG E:` BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—FnIP AY. .

This spirited P .
