AUG UST 2 1851. , 11 , Alq3 , ,f N ° 18 365.] • , LONDON, SATURDAY t S r 7 [PRICE SD. . PUBLICATIONS. NEWBURY, JULY 31.:—T0-day's market is liberally sup plied with wheat, for which there is but little demand, and although in some instances a slight concession in price was made, still but little progress could be effected in clearing off the supply, a large qnantity being held over to await future markets. Barley but little in offer, and late rates supported. Beans and oats large supply and dull sale, at rather reduced rates. Peas short supply, and late rates supported. Reaping of wheat in some favoured spots will commence about Monday, but not generally until the following week; the yield is not expected to be much over an average. LIYEUPOOL, AUG. I.—The business at our Corn Exchange this morning was again limited to very moderate purchases of wheat and flour by millers and dealers; the quotations for both articles can scarcely be altered from Tuesday, though in a few instances for middling quality of wheat a slight c onc e ssion was made. Superior mars of French and American flour were quite as dear, but the lower grades of the latter were done at irregular rates. Indian corn was without alteration, American mixed corn selling at 26s 6d, and yellow 27s and 27s 6d per 4SOlbs. There was an increased demand for the various de scriptions of feeding stuffs, and, our stock being low, full prices were easily obtainable. There was no alteration in the quoted rates of oats, barley, beans, or peas. The aspect of the weather is still unsettled. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, July 31. LLEWELLYN'S DIVORCE.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. Wool. TRADE, LONDON, JULY 3l.—The public sales of wool have been progressing very satisfactorily, and the spirit evinced by the buyers, considering the large quantity daily submitted is extremely gratifying. The quantity of wool im ported into London during the week ending to-day has been small, 117 hales being from Malaga, 122 from Germany, 29 from France, and 18 from Portugal. Fo MEIGN WOOL, LEEDS, Auo. I.—Both foreign and colo nial wools have been in dull demand during the past week; nor is much trade anticipated here until after the present series of sales in London are over, where the prices realised continue to be about the same as the opening rates of this and of the May series. ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, Auc. I.—There is not any varia tion to notice in this branch of trade during the present week. Sales of combing wools are confined to a supply of the current requirements of the manufacturers, and prices are quoted the same as last week. In low clothing wools there is a good de. mand ; stocks light, and prices firm. LIVERPOOL WOOL, JULY 31.—The imports the last week are 309 bales from Lisbon, 179 from Bombay, and 277 from Oporto. Aldrket quiet, but firm. YORK WOOL, JULY 31.—The show of wool at our market to-day was good, there being about 400 sheets ; and there was an average attendance of buyers. Good wool fully maintained the rates of last market, but the prices of inferior slightly de clned, and several parcels remained on hand. TRADE OF LEEDS.—Suitable goods for the coming season were sold pretty freely at the Cloth Halls, both on Saturday and Tuesday ; and although a great number of the manufactu rers were absent at the wool sales or at the Exhibition, a full average quantity of business was done, Prices keep steady, and the stock of seasonal4le goods are low. Business has also been brisk in the warehouses since this day week. BRADFORD, JULY 31.—Wool—The position of the wool trac'e is really perplexing ; for that which is usually the most active month in the year, is now an anomaly, for animated as the buying from the farmers has been, it has not at all been im pelled by the healthy state of the yarn trade. This is now fully evinced by the unusually small quantity of sales now making, nor is it probable we are likely to see more done for some time to come, for the prices sought by the staplers are such as to tally preclude the spinners from making cost. Noils and brokes are without change. Yarns—The prospects of the spinners continue as cheerless as ever. The disposition to buy is some what better than a few weeks ago, especially by the shippers, in numbers for Russia; but the prices at which they wish to place their orders are such as to leave no margin for the cost of spinning, and large quantities have been sold that will not pay for the combed top. How long this state of things is to con tinue we cannot tell; but it is ruinous in the extreme, and the less done the greater the money saved. Pieces—There is net so great on attendance of merchants here to-day ; neverthe less, there is a full average business done. We would hope the autumn trade will begin with spirit with the coming month, July having passed away with a far less business having been done than In former years. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, JULY 31.—Although a fall of d per lb in the already low price of cotton in America is not without its effect on goods which are not in much request, further improvement manifested this morning in the home trade protected it from such influences, and prices were quite firm. Prices at Liverpool have been kept steady by the large business our spinners have been doing in the raw material, and the decline in the American cotton market was to some extent looked for as the consequence of advices hence. In yarns of low counts for home consumption, spinners are in many cases engaged for weeks to come. Yarns suitable for the Mediter ranean continue in good request, and numbers suitable for Russia are beginning to be more inquired for. In some de scriptions of printers, long cloths and T cloths, a good business is doing, and the heavier makes of cloth are much sought after. The accounts from India are discouraging, and the counts of yarns suitable for that market are much depressed, with prices declining.

On Tuesday last one of those fearful hailstorms, ac companied with thunder and lightning, which have lately proved so destructive in various parts of the country, broke immediately over the boundary line be tween the counties of Nottingham and Derby, on the Ere wash line of railway. Shortly after three o'clock in the afternoon two heavy clouds, one from the south and the other from the south-east, met apparently just over the village of Sawley, and immediately afterwards large hail stones, mingled with heavy drops of rain, fell in torrents, deluging the streets, and beating down the crops in the neighbourhood. Four yearling calves, the property of Mr. Parkinson, were killed by a flash of lightning; and the electric fluid passed down the chimney of a cottage, shattered to splinters some beadsteads that stood in the corner of a room, broke all the windows in the place, and caused other considerable damage. At the neigh bouring Villages of Sandiacre, Breaston, and Wilsthorpe, the storm was equally violent, five cows, also the pro perty of Mr. Parkinson, being killed. At Draycot, the lightning killed a fat cow belonging to Mr. Tim son, and a vivid flash darting down a chimney in the house of Mr. Smith, butcher, set a bed on fire. At Samliacre, 9 acres of grass land, never before under water, were inundated; and at Stapleford a valuable young cow, belonging to Mr. Burton, farmer, was destroyed by lightning. At Cuckney, near Worksop, a village some miles further in the north, a servant employed by Mr. G. Swift, of Norton, was holding her hand on the door-latch of Mr. Smith's house, when she was struck by the electric fluid ; she became insensible, and was unable to speak until the following morning, but is now partially recovered. On the London-road, near Cavendish-bridge, a horse, which was drawing a chaise containing a lady and gen. tleman, was struck by lightning, its eye was burst, and its forelegs were broken. The animal was immediately shot; the persons in the chaise sustained no injury. The water in the Trent, near Long Eaton, rose three feet during the storm, but subsided to its former level soon after the hail and rain had ceased falling. i°a":1; ;hraei ~T he agrmt replied that he was not. in a position to n ilL y aol f i it l th oef e u r tAl e iwe v ei i r d E L Tl ;e n : in support of the petitioner's eststs, and therefore he trust leave the matter alto,gether • this case was stich that he saidrto riot advise i t s h e e t e h v e i i d: evidence in Lord ships to give their assent to the second reaiiing of this btd, ,t L 3 vh.lai b i o veer l i r io l cr . o d rrhicf s Lr la eti r e cy i s t obhtpuaaosnrdeotdhoawet appeared osme e aabprsereee withoutags is i vit n oe nn w le aa h xubt i encoetd! labour, re a r: j r o i h:w p rh h : usuuhrhpsrilpoeo: un a wsg r rre n anhea e d former C o Counsel who y h d misunderstoodi ttl a t do2s se d • theirwhat s tge t h.duiaintrcCet required that ishr a ee t ul l • I slon in his conduct. His Lordship went threugh the evi dence, which has already appeared in our columns, and then said that the proof was defective in more than one respect. In the first place, the petitioner vras bound to give reasonable evidence that there had barn no collu sion; that. be had not done. It was • diffi;ult for their 13.7rdehipa.ta understand how it had happened_ that he had sent money—Awo miserable sums, of Ave pounds— towards his, wife's maintenance, stisro9glikt.be hands of the very, pars= . to_ av hoot, ha htaapates4 e adultery., Wve ietterneitivietibn their . Lords ips might have arrived a%s to the conduct of Mrs. Llewellyn, anbsequently to, th - e separation, there was no direct evidence to show that any act of adultery had been committkl prior to the separation, however much their Lordships might be in clined to arrive at the opinion that, such act had been committeth. .The Petitioner had failed to give any suffi cient evidence as to the cause of separation, evidence which he ought to have adduced at the bar of the House. It had been said, it was true, that Mr: and Mrs. Lle wellyn had been heard to quarrel, but it had not been suggested that the cause of quarrel hid been owing to the supposition on the part of the pe titioner of the misconduct of his wife. It might, too, be asked ' how it was that Mr. Lle wellyn had been absent from home at the time that his wife had left his house. It appeared that after Mrs. Llewellyn had gone away he had returned, bat it did not appear that he had made any inquiry as to what had become of her, nor that he had made provision for her. Evidence ought, to have been given on these points. It unfortunately happened that upon the evidence of proof this case was totally denuded of all those circumstances which their Lordships invariably considered necessary to be placed before them, in order to induce them to grant a bill of divore. When the husband sought so solemn a relief as that of a divorce from his wife, and leave to marry again, it was absolutely incumbent upon him to offir the best evidence of the grounds on which he sought to obtain that relief. It had been stated on behalf Qf the petitioner that he was unable to offer any further evidence. No doubt it was a matter of regret that a gentleman should be tied to a lady whose conduct clearly, subsequent to the separation, did not entitle her to the position of wife; but still the evidence of the adultery prior to that time was not enough. Under these circumstances he should move that the second reading of the Bill be taken on that day six months. The question having been put, The motion that the Bill be read a second time this day six months was agreed to. The Bill is therefore lost. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Aug. 1. (Before • Sir J. KNIGHT BRUCE.) MURRAY V. INGRAM'. This motion again came before the Court to-day, when the defendant submitted to the injunction. The defendant, through his counsel, stated that he had caused the two volumes of Boswell's Life of Johnson to be examined by his friend, Dr. Mackay, and he had found that the par ties he had employed to annotate the work had availed themselves of Mr. Croker'a labours in a manner which he never would have sanctioned bad he had the slightest idea of the fact, and that when he ascertained the fact he immediately intimated to Mr. Murray his intention not to offer the slightest opposition to the motion for an injunction. Mr.RussELL and Mr. COLE, for Mr. Murray, stated that ha was quite satisfied Mr. Ingram was ignorant of there being any cause for complaint; and also that Mr. Murray had much pleasure iu stating that Mr. Ingram had met the case in the fairest and moat candid manner. His Hortoun accordingly made the order in the terms prayed for. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. ivE,S TE RN CIRCUIT.—ExeIer, July 31. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CoLERIDGE.) CHARGE: OF WILFUL MURDER.--TiliS was the day for the trial of William Rowe for the murder of John Bunker, and the court was thronged with people anxious to get a sight of the prisoner. The trial lasted two days. The Clerk of Arraigns delivered the abstract of the indictment as follows:—" William Rowe, you are in dicted for the wilful murder of John Bunker, at the pa rish of Brixton, on the 4th of March last, by tying and fastening a rope about his neck, thereby strangling and suffocating him. There are other counts in tee indict ment varying the charge. Are you guilty or not guilty?" The prisoner, in a firm voice—Not at all guilty, my Lord. Mr. COLLIER, on the part of the Crown, stated the case. The deceased, John Bunker, was eighteen years of age, and a farm servant, living with a Mr. Rowe, a wealthy farmer of Halwell Farm. in the parish of Brix ton, in the county of Devon. Mr. Rowe has a house and farm-yard. In the farm-yard opposite to the house is a stable, on the opposite side of the yard where the carts are kept. On the ether side of the yard are some pent houses and shipper]. Immediately out side the yard runs the public road, and to the right of the road is an orchard called Pond Orchard. On the 7th of March last, Bucker, the deceased, got up at his usual hour, was sent upon an expedition to carry lime, har nessed his hors e s t o th e cart, lit his pipe, and proceeded on his journey. Ho was at that time in perfect health. The family of Mr. Rowe c.easistsd of himself, an old man of eighty years of age, two sons, John and Wil liam, William being the prisoner at the bar; a daughter, Jane; a female servant, Hannah Couch; lcur boys — Bunker, eighteen years old; Vincent, fourteen; and two other little boys, James and Stevens, ten years d age. Bunker started off at about a quarter before six; be tween ten and eleven o'clock ho was found in the orchard dead, stiff, and cold. He was found tied to the centre limb of the tree. A rope was fastened round his neck, ' and also round the branch by a single half-bitch knot. The knot round his neck was called a bowling knot. He was found with both his legs on the ground—one under the other, and resting on the ground, and both his hands on the ground. lie was found in a sitting posture and almost, but not quite touching the ground—and he was stiff and cold, indicating that ho had been suspended for some considerable time. His hands and legs were on the ground, and it seems al most impossible for him to have strangled him self without a very determined resolution to keep his hands in front of him, for ho had nothing to do but put his hands on the ground and free himself from the pressure of the rope. Thera was no fall from a height, which might have dislocated his neck or pro duced sudden insensibility. It is not likely or probable that he would have been hung up higher and slipped down, for this was au old apple-tree, covered with moss, which shows where the rope was tied round the branches, but which presents no indications of its having been tied higher up, and slipped down. The crown of the boy's head was about a foot from the fork of the tree. The legs where he was hung hardly touched the ground— one leg was under the other, the right leg a little across the left leg; the right leg was lying upon the ground, and the knees just touching the ground. The horse and cart were found fastened to a gate in the road near the orchard. The boy's cap and whip were found at a little distance from the tree. Some blood was seen on his hand and also on his temple, where there was a severe blow, such as would have been produced by a fist, and would have produced insensibility. There were marks of two or three other blows on his body. There were patches of road dirt on the knees of his trowsers and on ' his hands, indicating that he had been down on his hands and knees. The grass in the orchard was short and Would not receive the print of footsteps, or make any dirt upon the clothes. The apple tree was covered with moss. There was the mark of a rope round the centre limb, and also round the fork of the tree. Tho moss indicated that on the side of the tree where Bunker's body was found the moss seemed to have been pulled upwards 4 and on the opposite side to have been pulled downwards. There were some excrescences, or " nobs," on the tree, to which human hair like that of the deceased was found attached. The hair was found lower than where the head was found, which, with the marks on the moss, went to indicate that the body (whether before or after death) was drawn up from the ground, and suspended to the tree. There were no marks of blows on the boy when he left the farm. Ho went away at a quarter before six, and between half-past six and seven o'clock screams were heard by three witnesses at Chittleburee. All tho wit nesses described the sounds as shrieks or screams which a person would utter in a violent struggle with another, or which a lad would raise if being violently ill-treat, d. It was quite clear that there was a violent struggle going on at that time and place, fur all the witnesses thought the screams proceeded from the wood, or from Pond Or chard, which was in the same direction. It was an un frequented neighbourhood, and they had been unable to find out that a struggle was going on aey where else. The shrieks did not last but a few seconds—not half a minute. 'l'wo unbroken eggs were found in his pocket, which might have been put there to suggest the idea of the boy's having committed suicide; but from the position of his hands he might have removed the pres sure of the rope by merely putting them forward. The medical evidence stated that there could be no doubt but that the boy died from strangulation, and that a person strangling himself would only be able to make a gurgling noise, and not such a shriek as de scribed. It was proved by footmarks that the prisoner was the only person in the orchard on that day. On being questioned as to the fact, heat first said he had not been therefor a fortnight, and then remembered that ho had been there on the Wednesday, but rain had Hien since then, and th 4 footmarks must have been m ids within 24 hours of the time of the murder. .Some of the prisoner's footsteps were also seen when the hire and cart were • fsst,nel, and also some in;ide the orchard gate. 1.1!Oud. hod exuded from the boy's nose, a :.

Every member of the hones could be accounted for that morning ex cept the prisoner, and he could be accounted fur before and after the eventful period, but not during it. On the evening of the murder the prisoner had some conversa tion with a boy named Vincent. He said the coroner would ..ask him (the boy) , if he had had any conversation with him (prisoner), and he was to say he had had none. Vincent now said he would take his so lemn oath that Bunker did not go out with the rope in his hand, and that, to quote his own words, " William Rowe said I should say that I zeed Bunker go out with a rope in one hand and a whip in the other."—(Sensa tion) Prisoner told the boy he would thrash him if he did not tell this story. It was proved that prisoner also said,: when charged with the crime, " Vincent can clear me." The boy was beaten by old Mr. Rowe after giving his evidence before the magistrates. It was proved that the itecessed had Charged the prisoner with committing a crime .of .41.disguatiAti. nature, and thak the matter .had rumoured about, the neighbourhood. Prisoner was! enieged to 'the daughter of Mr. Robert Scobell, a calmer living at Yafford. In consequence of this rekrt Mr. Scobell told the prisoner that unless he cleared his character he could not allow him to visit at his souse. Prisoner then left Mr. &obeli to 'go to Mr. Kelly, magistrate's clerk at Plymouth, "to clear his character." A man called Samuel Nicholls stated that he Saw the prisoner at ten minutes past seven at the back barn door. He was on horseback. He said, " They have a pretty story about me; I am going to see myself righted, lam determined for it; they may as well take away my life as say this." Then he said, "I strictly questioned our Jack about it last night, and he looked very confounded as ever I saw a young chap in my life." Then he said, " I am going to get John Rogers and the boy face to face." He then left and went up the road. Nicholls next saw him at half-past one, and said to him, " Have you heard anything of the story now, sir?" He said, "Yes, I have heard something about it. Jack hath hanged himself, hathen he?" Nicholls said, " Yee, he hath; and he is dead too." The prisoner then smiled, and, turning from him, said, " Then he has hanged himself; lam clear of it." He also said, " If they will hang themselves for telling lies, I cannot help anything about it." The Court adjourned at seven o'clock last night, and the case for the prosecution terminated at eleven this morning, at which hour Mr. Stone proceeded to address the jury for the prisoner. The Learned Gentleman spoke for two hours, and contended that all the evidence showed that it was Bunker who had propagated the calumnious reports against his young master; that these charges were traced home to him; that on the night previous to his death he was accused of this scandal, and told that ho should be sent to Bridewell for it. This, he contended, made the supposition more reasonable that Bunker should have destroyed himself through fear and apprehension of the punishment with which he had been! threatened, than that the prisoner should have been guy of wilful murder. The Learned JUDGE then summed up. He said there were only two questions for the consideration of the jury. One was—did the unfortunate deceased come to his death by his own hand. If the jury believed that he did, then there would be an end of the case as far as the prisoner at the bar was concerned. But if they believed that Bunker came to a violent and untimely death by the hand of another person, it would be for theta to inquire whether that person was the prisoner at the bar. Soon after three the jury returned, and answered to ,heir names. Clerk of Arraigns—Gentlemen of the jury are you agreed? The Foreman—Yes. What say you, is William Rowe guilty or not guilty? The Foreman—Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. Police-constable William Millington, of the II diviiion, was brought before Mr. Hamtnill, by ordtr of the Police Commissioners, charged with an assault upon Mr. Sa muel Devine, a trimming manufacturer, in Sarah•street, Mile-end. Mr. Vann conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Pelham appeared for the defence. The complainant stated that between twelve and one o'clock on the night of the 21st ult., he was returning home in company with his wife, when, within 20 yards of his own residence, and while in conversation with a hawker, the defendant came up, and imperatively ex pressed his intention to search the man's basket. The mm readily submitted to the examination, and the de fendant then turned round and intimated to the witness that he should search him also. Witness offered no resistance, and after rubbing his hands in au offensive manner down the outside of his clothing, turned round and told him that he should subject his wife to the same sort of examination. Witness remonstrated against such a proceeding; but the defendant, having declared, with an oath, that he was resolved to do so, his wife ran down an adjoining court, to escape the indignity, but was pursued by the defendant, who caught her round the waist and dragged her back into the street with such violence as to induce her to raise the cry of " Murder." He begged him to release her and allow them to enter their house, but ho positively refused, declaring that he should lodge them in the station. After dragging them about the road for some time he pulled out his rattle and attempted to spring it, but the rattle would not act, and he then deliberately raised it and struck him three or four such heavy blows over the head and face with it, that his clothes and per son_ were covered with blood. The defendant then sprang his rattle, and two other constables having made their appearance witness was conveyed to the sta tion-house upon a charge of assaulting the defendant, which he at once retorted by a counter complaint of the brutal manner in which he had been treated; and having drawn the attention of the acting inspector to the severe wounds on his head and eye, the divisional surgeon was sent for, who dressed the injuries; but from the effects of- which-he was still suffering. John Deacon, the man who was in conversagrn with the complainant at the time in question, after confirming his evidence, positively stated that the complainant did not resist or assault the defendant in any manner, nor offer him any provocation whatever, On observing the scandalous conduct of the officer, witness hastened off to procure another policeman, and saw no more of the transaction. A silk weaver named Hill was also examined, and fully corroborated the evidence of the other witnesses. Mr. Pelham addressed the magistrate on behalf of the defendant, whom he described as being a very young officer, having only been about six weeks in the force at the time of this occurrence, but he had been previously in the service of several noblemen and gentlemen of distinction, which formed a sufficient indication that he was both a steady and well-conducted person. Accord ing to his instructions he had only acted in strict ac- cordance with his instructions in taking the complainant, who had previously resisted and assaulted him, into custody, and he had no doubt whatever that the injuries the complainant had sustained had beon accidentally occasioned in the course of the struggle that ensued to elude apprehension. A young man named Prince was then called, and stated that while going home he saw a large crowd, in the midst of which was the defendant, holding the com plainant, who was not then bleeding, and apparently using his best exertions to disperse the mob. Several threatening and violent expressions were directed at the officer, which were followed up by blows, in the course of which he evidently got severely handled, and sprung his rattle for assistance. He (witness) had his wife with him at the time, and not liking her to be mixed up in the affray, ho led her away and saw no more of it. Police -constable Young, 204 11, stated that, upon hearing the rattle, he hastened to the spot, where he found the defendant endeavouring to secure the com plainant, who did not then exhibit any injury, but dur ing the struggle they both fell, and on rising from the ground he observed that the complainant's head was bleeding. A general attack was then made upon the constable, who was knocked down, and the complainant got away, but was seized by witness, who detained him until the arrival of the other officers. Mr. Ilammiu, said that, after a mature consideration of the evidence, he could come to no other conclusion than that the defendant had been guilty of a gross vio lation of his duty, which in his opiniun rendered him wholly unfit to fulfil the situation of a constable, and he had no hesitation, therefore, in punishing him to the full extent of his power, by ordering him to be com mitted for the term of ono month to the House of Cor rection, and kept to hard labour. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. -------- _ Captain Swinney, a gentleman of remarkably good natured aspect, applied to Mr. Hardwick for advice in the following dilemma:— He was walking down Regent-street when his atten tion was casually attracted to a fine showy horse, which a man was leading. At that instant an honest-looking fellow, dressed like a gentleman's coachman, came up to him and said, " Ah, sir, I see you are lookia at that horse; it's just the horse I want for moister. One of our horses is dead, and that horse just matches the one left. Now I bought that horse for 501., but when I wanted to pay for it the rascally dealer said it was guineas not pounds, and so we've had a wrangle, and he wouldn't let me have the animal at no price. Do, pray, sir, , try and get it f or my mas t er , and here's the money. The coachman showed a bag of sovereigns, and applicant feeling :much concern for the distress of the coachman, and his honest anxiety to look after his master's interest and wishes, consented to do what he could to nerve him. Ile offered the 5 21 . 103. Mr. HARDWICK expressed hissurprise that a gentle man bf Captain Swinnoy's position and infor mat i on should have been imposed upon by a trick by no means uncommon, yet hitherto only successfully practised on country visitors or inexperienced people. Captain Swinney said he was completely deceived by the manner of the pretended coachman, and the nature' appearance which was throughout given to the trans. actio" . . e. Chief Clerk r ecommen d e d C a pt a i n Swinney to the precaution to ascertain the value of the horse e he gave the parties (provided he could meet with 1) into custody for fraud. ptain Swinney left the court for that purpose, and Ay afterwards returned with an evident addition to 3qeietude. He had caused the horse to be inspected *aleed by an eminent dealer in Bond-street, and the 6of the animal was pronounced to be not less than y guineas. He now feared be lied bought stolen erty, as it was di ffi cult to believe the biter had been this transaction. r.

" The arrangements under which this service is at present conducted are generally so well known to the public, that it is unneccessary for your Committee to enter into further detail than may be requisite to eluci date their recommendation. "In the investigation of this part of their inquiry, your Committee have:not thought themselves justified in excluding its commercial bearings. Although they con sider the postal question paramount, and the one to which their attention should be most directly pointed, yet they feel that when a contract is given tor postal service, which necessarily interferes to prevent the operation of competition, it is impossible to exclude those considerations, as they materially affect the cost at which such service can be obtained. " The three heads under which this subject may be most clearly considered seem to be the following:— " 1. The arrangement under which the service is at present conducted. "2. The cost at which it is carried on, and the pro portion which this bears to the speed obtained, and the facilities afforded. t," 3. The improvements required in future arrange ments, and the best mode of securing them to the public. " The arrangements under which the service is at pre sent conducted are as follows: " On the 7th of every month a mail is dispatched from the Post-office for India via France.' From Mar- . sillies passengers and mails are convey e d i n vesse l s i n her Majesty's service to Alexandria. At Alexandria arrangements have been made with the Egyptian Go vernment for their transmission across the Isthmus of Suez, where vessels of the Indian navy are in readiness to start for Bombay; from Bombay mails are dispatched by Dsk runners to their different destinations in India. " Some years ago heavy mails and passengers for this line were conveyed from Southampton to Malta and Alexandria by vessels of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, which left England four days previous to the mail by Nlarseilles; this service has, however, been dis continued, and its discontinuance, it is stated, has caused considerable inconvenience. " The existing pecuniary arrangements for this ser vice between the Home Government and the Govern ment of India may be revised in January, 1853. " The second monthly communication with India, and the only one with China, is conducted by the Peninsular and Oriental Company. " Their vessels start from Southampton on the 20th of every month, and aro overtaken at Malta by the ex- pLondonress, four n ee: ender similar later; they arrange ments then proceed alluded v al u e n s w d rin,to in the case of the other ser• vice they are conveyed across the Isthmus of Suez. "Vessels of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Com pany are in readiness to proceed from Suez to Point de Galle, Madras, and Calcutta, stopping in their route at Aden, the communication between which place and Bom bay is effected by vessels of the Indian navy, which con vey the mails for Western India, and also such letters for Madras and Calcutta as are intended to be forwarded by express from Bombay. " The arrangement of this extension of the bi-monthly communication to Bombay formed no part of the Go vernment plan of 1844, and was gratuitously adopted by the Indian Government. It was not intended to include the conveyance of passengers, who are, however, per mitted to proceed in the vessels, as far as the accommo dation will permit. " The arrangement by which this service is conducted expires with the year 1852. As the homeward service is carried on under similar arrangements, your Commit tee consider it unnecessary for them to enter into any further detail. "2. The cost at which it is carried on, and the propor tion which this bears to the speed obtained, and the faci lities afforded. " From documents furnished to your Committee, it ap pears that the sum paid from the revenues of England for the mail service performed by the East India Company between Suez and Bombay amounts to 50,000/. annually. There is also the cost of communication between Alex andria and the Post-office in London, the amount of which your Committee have not the means of estimating. It is right to add, that the expense of the transit of all the mails from Sues to Alexandria is borne exclusively by the East India Company. "It appears that for the service between Suez and Bombay there are three steam-vessels provided by the Government of India inferior in no respects to any steamers plying in the Indian seas; other vessels have, however, at times been employed inadequate to the ser vice. The average speed required by the contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company seems to have been maintained on this line. " Complaints have been made the comfort and convenience of the passengers have not been sufficiently considered in the arrangements. These complaints refer chiefly to the vessels engaged in the bi-monthly commu nication between Bombay and Aden; the vessels em ployed in which, as before observed, are not designed for passengers. It has further been stated to your Com mittee, as respects the vessels of the Indian navy gene rally, that inconvenience is experienced by the mercan tile community from the high rate of freight of bullion, and from their not carrying merchandise. " The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company re ceive for the mail service between England and Alexan dria 23,0001.; for that between Suez and Calcutta, 115,0001.; and for that between Ceylon and Hongkong, 45,0001.; and of the amount paid for the two latter ser vices the East India Company contribute seven-sixteenths, namely, 70,0001. " Although the vessels on this line were considered of the first class when originally constructed, yet the rapid improvement which has taken place in machinery readers them now below the standard which has been reached on the North American lines. " Witnesses have stated that there has been some irre gularity in the arrival of the mails at Calcutta by this line, and statements have been made to the same effect by the commercial bodies at Calcutta. the cost " The rate of fares charged by th e company; n , the for the carriage of freight; the difficulties throiv d n i different way of passengers taking adv an t age of the European lines, which m i g h t b e ma d e available for and the pleasure and for co m f ort f rom Alexandria,_ the year, crowded state of th e vesse l s at certa i n per iods of have all been ma t ters o f complaint be f ore your Com mittee. s been brought for " On the other hand, evidence ha passengers have re ward to speak to the attention the r, to the Peninsular coived on hoard the vessels helongint, and Oriental Steam Company that which it is has but ee f n air di t s o . played by t he t " While your Committee think acknowledge the enterprising spiriti and Oriental Stea m C ompany P en insular in the general management _of the communi cat i on wh i ch they have now conducted for some years, they are of opinion that the English and the Indian public have at times experienced considerable inconvenience ; and it is certain also that until the agitation of the question connected with the renewal of the contract brought the matter more prominently before the public, tho Penin sular and Oriental Steam Company had done little to wards introducing into their line those great and impor tant improvements, as regards speed, which have of late years_tiken place in ocean steam navigation. Of late, however, some of these vessels have undergone consider- The evidence before your Com;eittee shows strongly that a full communication every foi'Znight is required between England and the different pros:done:es in India, and that such communication, with a meelerate . assistance for po s t a l service, would bo remunerative. Similar evi dence h as b een given with regard to Chi' - Js, but not t o the same extent. "Your Committee, knowing the effect of steam com munication in developing trade, and the tendency which it always has larg e l y to increase the amount of Waffle on any line, in proportion to the frequency of the opi)ortu nities afforded, and having before them an offer n.ade for the performance of a similar serv i ce to t h e one cten ducted by the Peninsular and Oriental Company for nearly half the amount now paid b y the Government for that lino; having likewise the admission of the Peninsu lar and Oriental Steam Company that the present extent of the traffic is such as to induce the m to b u i ld large screw-steamers for an additional communic a ti on , are in duced to believe that a full mail service t w i ce in the month to the different presidencies of India, and to China, might be established without any material in crease of charge on the public revenue. " Certain prop( sods appear to have been made by the Eastern Steam Navigation Company to carry out a com munication between England, India, and China , .. the ex press portion of the mails to be conveyed via the Trieste route, in conjunction with the Austrian Lloyd' s Com pany; the political advantages of having two lines open across Europe your Committee consider of some import ance; and it appears fr.= the evidence that the Govern ments interested in the Trieste line are prepared to enter into negotiation, and to give every facility for the trans mission of the mails. " It has been suggested to your Committee that, in order to secure to th e p u bli c the advantages of these communications, stringent rules should bo laid down in any new engagement that may be entered into between the Government and companies undertaking the service, and that rates of speed and fares should be fixed. Your Committee concur in these suggestions, so far as regards the size of the vessels and the speed required, and they are of opinion that the penalties for failure in speed should be such as might be rigidly enforced when such failure cannot be satisfactorily accounted for; but they do not believe that there is any mode by which the full advantage of the communication can be secured to the passengers and traffic of India by the interference of Go vernment in the internal arrangement and management of the affairs of a private company. " The only mode in which this can be secured to the public is by the establishment of a wholesome competi tion. " Upon a full consideration of the question, your Com mittee recommend that a communication twice in the month between England and the different presidencies in India should be established, and that such communica tion should be separated into two distinct services, and put out to separate tenders. " Your Committee have already stated that the exist ing contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company is terminable in December, 1852; and, as it appears from the evidence that any new parties compet ing will require at least 18 months after their offer is ac cepted to prepare for the due performance of their en gagements, it is the opinion of your Committee that no time should be lost by her Majesty's Government in taking till the preliminary steps which the fair encou ragement of an open competition so obviously demands; and they therefore recommend that tenders may be called for, contemplating the arrangements already alluded to. Ample time will thus be given to enable her Majesty's Gov; rnment to decide from the tenders which may be sent in whether a bi-monthly communication can be eats blisLed on the plan proposed, without any probable in- Oren' e of expense to the revenue of this country. " With respect to the service new peetormed by yes. Eels of the Indian navy, it has been stated in evidence tha*, in poin; of economy, the comfort of the_sarenger, and the - require:m:ll's of trnele, this service would be per formed to greater advantage by a private company. "On the other hand, there are heavy charges borne by the Indian Government in connexion with the ex pensive arrangements cnt - r: d nto at the period when the quca:ion of steam communication was fully e..nsideled b her Majesty's Government in 1844. which in any on w arrangements would require to be fairly adjust( d. " Your Committee have likewise been informed that there. are politicll reasons which render it important that this communication should remain in the hands of the, India, Company. "Your Committee have not entered into this point, but they consider that it is a question for investi gation by those Committees which they understand will be shortly appointed to consider the future arrangements for the government of India ; should the service continue to be performed by the Indian Government, your Committee are of opinion that it should be maintained at no greater cost to the public than would be requirel by a private company, and that the same attention should be bestowed on the comforts Of the passengers and the wants of trade as in vessels conducted by private enterprise. Your Committee think it right to add Neat this principle has been fully ad mitted by the witnesses who have appeared before them on behalf of the Indian Government. "Your Committee have had under their consideration certain proposals to connect the Cape of Good Hope with Calcutta a vi(2 Mauritius.' They ate fully alive to the possible importance of a line to India, independent of foreign countries; but, looking at the principle upon which grants for postal service are allowed, they cannot recommend any grant to this lino beyond what may be fair for the actual postal service performed; and they believe the growing wants of India are such, that ere long private capitalists will be found ready to embark in the undertaking. Th In reference to the steam communication with Eng land required by the colonists of Mauritius, it appears in evidence furnished to your Committee that in the course of last year a vote of 12,0001. was passed by the Legislative Council for opening a steam communication with Aden; that HUM seems to have been sufficient for the purpose, as parties were in readiness to undertake tho service. " Your Committee would not interfere with the views of the colonists when so evidently expressed; consider ing that they are the parties most likely to make a judi cious selection of the best route for their own interest, and they therefore recommend that the Government should grant to the colony the full permission to enter into such arrangement as may be necessary to effect the object in question. '. In the course of a protracted inquiry much evi dence has been taken before your Committee tend ing to show the decided advantage of iron over weed in the construction of vessels fitted for the packet service, more especially in those to which the scr ew e propeller is applied, and they are of opinion that th e postal service would suffer materially, both as notspeed and cost, if the contracting cornpeniesregw compelled to employ steam-ships built of wood ere to call of iron.

Sheets of flame shot forth from the building, and rose so high in the air that the metropolis was brilliantly illuminated. Before any one had time to call the information to the fire stations, the flames gave suilicien warning to the firemen of their services being wanted. Plenty of water having been obtained, the engines were set to work, and owing to the praiseworthy exertions of the firemen, the flames by half-past twelve o'clock on Saturday morning were so far subdued that no extension of mischief was apprehended. The premises in which the misfortune commenced, however, were by that period nearly gutted, and considerable damage was done t o those adjoining. The origin of the fire is unknown, and unfortunately the sufferer was only partially insured.
