BATHs AND WAsitHoUSES.—An experioierit laws been made at the Eastern Asylum for the Houseless Poor which has most satisfactorily proved that the very lowest of the poor will gladly avail themselves of facilities for personal cleanliness. On the everiingof March 29, the apparatus, eonsistieg of a boiler and tanks, with two hot batl s (convertible into vapour baths), six wash tubs, and a drying closet, through which a draught of hot air is driven with great velocity, was first used. At first there was some re luctance on the part of the inmates to use the baths; but as aeon as they had felt the refreshment of the warm water and clean clothes, they eagerly availed themselves of it. During the first five days R 6 persons bathed and washed ; during the last five (the apparatus having been used nineteen days altogether) the number was 391—the total being 937. The improvement ef&eted in the personal appearance of the in mates far exceeded all expectations ; many a countenance became pleasing which before was disgusting, and no doubt was left that soap and warm water could work wonders with the poor. The Baths and Washhouses' Committee ate, we un derstand, makiNg arrangements for enabling the very poor, who cannot aft .rd any payment to bathe and wash gratuitously during the summer ; and we hope that, by encouraging a taste for clean liness among the very lowest, a good effect may be produced on those who, though in circumstances enabling them to keep them. selves and their families out of absolute filth, are induced as much by the force of surrounding example as by any other circumstance, to content themselves with being no dirtier than their neighbours. ENGLAND RUINED. lifiglisbnater iney not he aware of the calamity that has fallen upon their beloved land; but—we cannot, we ought not, to suppress the terrible news—England is ruined! She is a dme State—a wreck the skeleton of a once mighty nation, henceforth to take her mournful place in history with the Phoenician and Roman empirea. The cause of this vast destruction is that terrible Irishman, that fire-eating Milesian, that very hot potato, Mr. H. Grattan. It is but a very few days ago that that awful person declared he had done with us for ever and ever ; and this declaration he solemnised with a thumping oath, loudly cheered at the Conriliatirrn Hall. Then and there he swore that "he took his leave of the gentlemen of England ;" then and there he avowed his stern determination a never willingly to draw a sword in their behalf, or give them a guinea of his money." We cling to the hope that Grattan the Terrible may yet be mollified ; for when we re. Elect how often and how valorously he has draft n his sword for England—when we remember how generously, yea, how magnifi cently, he has expended his treasure in her behalf—what can she do, how can she exist, deprived henceforth of the Hon. Gentleman's steel and gold ? If Grattan remain inexorable, o'er countrymen may next week expect to see England in the Gazette, with not even the hope of a farthing dividend '—Punch. AN ALBUM OF Citlat E.—ln the possession of a man named Harrison, convicted of a highway robbery near Leeds, and sentenced to transportation, a diary has been found, consisting of a record of all his robberies' The book is small and neat, is gilt. edged, and forms, in fact, a sort of robber's album.

The last was taken out from near the bed of the river, to which, in one per, the workmen have reached, the water being banked off by the -tones, Bre., of the fallen arches. It seems now to be pretty well understood that only two more of the workmen are still missing, and supposed to be under the ruins. One of those who were taken out alive has since died in the Manchester Infirmary , to whish he had been removed, there being noinst . tution in ' Ashton for the reception of such cases.

MR. CARUS WILSON AND THE LAWS OF JERSEY.—On Saturday Inlector Shackel, of the detective establish ment of the Metropolitan police force, appeared be , ere the Lord Mayor on a summons granted by his Lordship, at the instance of Mr. Charles Carus Wilson, whose contest with the authorities of the Island of Jersey has so much occupied the attention of the public, the consi deration of the courts of law, and, in some degree, the deliberations of the Legislature. It is almost difficult to say, whether the lewd warfare, or Mr. Wilson's extra ordinary figure and height, which appear to be a ulna greater source of ludicrous comment with himself than with others, have acquired for him the greater notoriety. It will be recollected that, in the course of the past week, Mr. Wilson was brought up on a writ of Habeas Corpus, issued on his application, b-fore the Court o: Queen's Bench, and the legality, or otherwise, of the return made by the Vicomte (or sheriff) of Jersey, and his gaoler, was fully discussed and argued ; and, in fine; the decision of the Court was unfavourable to Mr. Wil son, and he was ordered by the Court to be remitted to his former custody in the Island of Jersey. In courtesy, it was said, to Mr. Wilson, instead of being conveyed to prison, preparatory to his transmission to Jersey, the gaoler permitted him to remain in apartments at Ander ton's Hotel, Fleet-street, where the alleged assault was stated to have been committed. The LORD MAYOR having called on the summoned party, who appeared at the table, ii Ir. Wilson entered the witness box, and, having been sworn, addressed his lordship in nearly the following tern - Ist—l am at present, my Lord, domiciled in the Island of Jersey, but am t-mporarily residing at Antler ton's Hotel, in Fleet-street. I came to London on the. 18th of the present month, of my own voluntary accord. I was a perfectly free agent when I came to Anderton', Hotel, and took up my abode there. Business took me to the Court of Queen's Bench on the 22d instant, and that business was simply to discharge a recognisance ol 100/., the condition of which was, that I should appeal on that day, and nothing else. I did so, and I wen i'ack from the Court of Queen's Bench to Anderton'e flott I, when a person, not the defendant, came forward, and said, " You are my prisoner and you shall neither 4.at n or drink, except t h at which I shall choose to give u." I at once, my Lord, rebelled against that as sumed authority, f.r the person who attempted to ex ercise it had ao warrant or legal instrument to product and show me why my liberty was to he restrained b) any individual whatsoever. Yesterday morning, rn) Lord, the d-fendant, Mr. Shacked), r. ho, I believe, is not an officer of the City of London—who, I believe, is totally incompetent to act as such within the City ol London— Mr. Goodman, (the Chief Clerk) interposed, and re quested that Mr. Wilson would confine himself to the evidencehe had to give. Mr. Wilson—You will merely allow me to state my case. Goodman—You are upon your oath, and should not indulge in commentaries while giving evidence. Be kind enough to state the circumstances of the assault of which y2u.coinplai..u. Mr. Wilson—Very well. I will do so. Yesterda) morning Mr. Shackell marched into my bed-room— The LORD MAYOR—At what hour ? Mr. Wilson— Why, my Lord, I lay long in bed, in every sense of the word—(Laughter)—and it might be about eleven o'clock. lie was followed by a thing who is now pre ,ent, and who calls itself the Vicomte of Jersey, and by another person who calls himself the gaoler 01 Jersey, and by two other gentlemen—(with a sarcastic sneer)—whom the Home Secretary, Sir James Graham, ,ent to assist to do something with me. I demande [heir authority and warrant. I told them to produce a awful authority and I would submit, but without it l vould resist them to the death. I fat, my lord, that 1 was, in the City or London, entitled to your Lord hip's protection—l felt that, as a British subject, I was entiled to the protection of British laws. I demanded to know why the privacy of my bed-chamber was in vaded and disturbed. I told them I would submit my self to proper authoritit s. I said, " Whatever you have :o do, do lawfully, and I will submit ; do it unlawfully, and I will resist to death." As they could give no ac count of themselves—and as they did not seem to know what to do—and as they did not appear to have any authority or legal warrant to exhibit—l jumped out of bed, and seized hold of a vessel—no matter of what de scription—and should have dashed it at them had not the handle broken oil in my hand. I consider I had a right to do this ; and am tnly sorry I had not the courage and opportunity to throw them all out of the window. 'the LORD MAYOR-- And what did they say or do ? Mr. Wilson—They threattne to handcuff me, and they produced their stares, but your Lordship knows that a staff without anything else does not constitute any authority for them to interfere with me who was actually domiciled in the City of London and in bed. the LonnM AYOR—But what is your charge against Mr. Shackell ? Mr. Wilson—He came in with the rest, lay Lord. MYSTERIOUS AND SUSPICIOUS AFFAIR.—On Sa turday, during an inquest held by Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Hope, John.street, Tottenhan.court-road, Mr. Wells, of Percy street, the registrar of births and deaths for the district, attended for the purpose of laying before the coroner the following extra. ordinary and suspicious facts connected with the death of a female named Appleby, lately residing at No. 13, Stephen.strect, Totten. ham.court-road, and whose body had been interred without a cer tificate in a most mysterious manner. Mr. Wells stated that on Saturday afternoon last, whilst absent from home, a person sup. posed to be one of the sons of the deceased woman came to his house and left with his clerk a paper, for him to register the death. On the Monday morning he went to the house 13, Stephen-street, for that purpose, and there saw the hus band of the deceased woman Appleby, to whom, showing the paper, he said, " You sent this paper to me on Saturday to register the death of your wife." Appleby appeared somewhat confused, but replied, " No, I did not," and on further interrogation the man positively denied that he had made any application of the sort, or that he had any necessity for doing so. This induced Mr. Wells at first to believe that he had been hoaxed, or that an attempt had been made in his absence to procure a certificate for some improper purpose, as was the result in the late wills forgeries case in which Barber and Fletcher were concerned. Upon further consideration, however, Mr. Wells stated that he was induced to make further inquires, and he tl.en discovered that the deceased woman had absolutely been buried on the previous day (Sunday), in the burial-ground of St. James's Chapel, Hampstead road, without the death having been registered, or any certificate obtained. On ascertaining this, he (Mr. Wells) again went to the house, No. 13, Stephen. street, and, on interrogating the landlord on the subject, that party distinctly assured him that he was not aware that the deceased woman was even ill until the day before she was buried, and then it was only through seeing the coffin brought in. The land. lord added his suspicions that all was not right, as tl.e poor woman was, to Ifs knowledge, con.tantly subjected to the most in human and brutal treatment from her husband and children, and as a proof of their want of feeling for her loss, in less than an hour after she was buried cue of her sons amused himself and brothers by playing tunes on the violin. Having ascertained thus much, and comedering the affair exceedingly suspicious, he (Mr. Wells) had felt it his duty to lay the circumstances before the Coroner, leaving it for him to say whether he aid not think the body ought to be disinterred, and an inquest held upon it. Mr. Wells further stated that he had been unable to trace out the undertaker; but he should take immediate steps against the clergyman who had buried the body without a certificate, in order to recover the penalties he had incurred under the Registration Act. Mr. Wakley said the case was certainly one full of suspicion, and he would lose no time in giving instructions to the police to minutely investigate the matter, and if, upon their report, be deemed it ne. cessary, he would order the disinterment of the body, and hold an inquest on it. ROYAL NAVAL SCllOOL.—His Royal Highness thy; Duke of Cambridge visited this institution at New cross onThurftlay, anetminute:y inspected every part of the establishment. His Royal Highness, who was accompanied by Admiral Sir C. 0 le, the President, the Earl of Yarborough, Rear. Admiral Sir T. Troubridge, Rear-Admiral Sir C. Malcolm, and the Council of Management expressed himself in terms of eulogy of all the arrangements and especially remarked the healthy appearance of the young gentle. men. Eight of the senior scholars, viz., Messrs. Ward, Wilkin son, Gardiner, Walker, Morrice, Steel, Hallowes, and Williams, were introduced by the headmaster. His Royal Highness re. mained nearly an Lour in the establishment, and on retiring was greeted with enthusiastic cheering. On the occasion of the Queen's visit to the Great Britain, the whole school, consisting of two hundred boys, was drawn up in front of the building, and was graciously recognised by her Majesty, who subscribes the munifi. cent sum of I UK. annually to the institution. BE FOUNTAINS IN TRAFALGAR -SQUARE.—The fountains are now in constant operation from nine in the morning until dusk. Although the jets only rise to a height of about five or six feet, and produce a most paltry effect, the supply of water exceeds 500 gallons per minute, and so profuse is its flow in the wells, that after working all day the water does not diminish more than five feet. The Chelsea Water-works Company, which have hitherto supplied the different Government offices, have received orders to discontinue their supply at Midsummer, the mains having been laid down to furnish water from the cisterns at the engine. house in Orange.street, by which it is estimated that an a:llual saving of sno/. will be effected. The LORD MAYOR-What did he d) or say ?—Mr. Wilson —He sat down on the bed beside me, and he . said that he w as sent b ) Sir James Graham or the Com missioner of Police—l think he Lamed Rowan—Colonel Rowan—but, at all events, some authority in Scotland ard, and he gaffe me a card, which I have handed to your Lordship. I told him I w ould go before the Lord 'lsyor. or Mr. Hall at Bow-street, or any proper legal tutho ity, and I think I distinctly understood Shackell to say he would accompany me at a given time to the Lord Mayor. I said in reply I would go with pleasu, e, •s I was quite willing to submit myself to lawful authority. The LORD MAYOR —The assault, then, )ou complain ,)f, is that of entering your room and menacing to handle you--that is a constructive assault ? Mr. Wilson—Yes, ,av Lord. T.ie LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mr. Shackell, what have yuu to say in ansAer to the charge• ? Mr. Wilson-1 beg, my Lord, that he may be sworn ►efore he is allowed to make any statement before your Lordship. Mr. Goodman intimated that Mr. Shackell appeared ,s a defendant, and it was nut usual to put parties in his eesiticu upon their ostlis.. _. DETERMINED SUICIDE.—On Saturday afternoon, shortly after two o'clock, as a person named Eldon, residing in Ro. tt,erhithe, was crossing the bridge of the Grand Surrey Canal, which divides the counties of Surrey and Kent, and close to the an hes of the Greenwich Railway, he heard several deep groans. lie imme. diately proceeded to the spot, and entered one of the arches, which is Partly inclosed and dark, and there discovered a man lying on his back, with his throat cut from ear to ear. On looking about Mr. Eldon found the razor with which the unhappy man had perpetrated the rash act, covered with blood, and a few feet off he discovered a case containing another razor spotted with blood, and about three yards of a stout patent sash line, which the deceased probably contemplated hanging himself with. The poor fellow was alive at this time, and Mr. Eldon ran off to Deptford, and returned with Dr. Caleb Taylor and Mr. Downing, surgeon to the police force. The deceased was then removed on a chair to the Black Horse public-house, Lower. road, Deptford, ani the medical attendants, without losing a moment, proceeded to sew up the wound, which was accomplished with considerable difficulty, owing to the resistance which was eflered by the patirnt. During this operation Mr. Downing put several question:: to him ; the only answer which he could indifferently articulate was that he came from Berkshire. He refused to give his name, and when questioned as to whether he had committed the act himself, significantly nodded assent. He remained in a state of insensibility until four o'clock, when he expired. Dr. Taylor describes the deceased as a tine framed man, of about thirty.five years of age, but of a very ems. elated bodily appearance. DEsTnEcTivE FlRES.—Yesterday morning:, about half-past three o'clock, a police.constable of the E division noticed an unusual light through the shutters of Mr. Phillips, a cheese. monger, near Lond on - street , lottenharn-court-road.

ON WIRE AS A MATERIAL FOR BUILDING SUS PENSION BRIDGES.—A !though the use of wire offers some advantages, especially superior str. ngth, bulk fer bulk compared with bars, general opinion is not in favour of its a , loption, on account of the impossibility, nearly, cf adjusting the length of the wires, so that when the cable has assumed its proper curvature, each wire may bear its due proportion of strain, and because of the increased liability to oxidate, in consequence of the increased surface offered by wires to the action of the atmosphere. It has been propostd that each wire should be passed through a vessel of varnish imme diately after the process of drawing, and that, after forming the wires into bundles of fifty or sixty each, they should be passed through a concave vessel of oleaginous matter at a high temperature. By this pro cess it is supposed every particle of moisture would be driven of in vapour, and its place occupied by the olea ginous substance in the interior of the cable, where it would be retained by its adhesive property, while it would harden over the exterior, and prevent oxHation, by removing the possibility of moisture coming into contact with the wire.—The Builder. SUICIDE OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OF DERRY —By private letters received in town, we learn that Dr. M'Loughlin, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Derry, died on Sunday from the effect of a wound which he inflicted on his throat with a razor on the previous Wednesday. The dis tressing fact was kept quite secret in Derry for two or three days by his relatives, who were led to think by the medical man in attendance upon him that the wound would not prove mortal. It was said Dr. M'Loughlin was in a low state of mind for some time ; but his friends never apprehended that he would resort to violence upon himself. THE CONVICT ROCKER.—THE CONDEMNED SEE 1110N.—The convict Mocker attended Divine service yes terday morning in the chapel of Newgate. The con demned sermon was preached in a most impressive manner by the Rev. Mr. Davis, the Ordinary of th e prison, who took for hi s t ex t the 6th verse of the 9:h chapter of Genesis—" Whosoever sheddeth man's blood by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of Ged made he man.' Rocker appeared perfectly coll,cted during the whole service, and joined in the responses, and also in the singing of the Psalms. His response to the commandment " Thou shalt do no murder," was pe culiarly clear and audible. ITHE TEMPTATIONS OF OFFICE.—Sir Culling Eardley Smith stated at a public meeting last week, " The Bill should not pass. There were, he knew, at least twelve men in Parliament who would die on the floor of the House sooner than it should pass into a law." As Sir Robert is not infallible, he really should be protected from this new system of bribery. Punc h. FISHING.—We learn that the cod-fishing on the west coast has been prosecuted with considerable success this season, and the takes are still good. By our latest accounts, the price of good fish was 171. per ton. 'An instance of rather novel sport occurred, in connexion with this fishing. a few days ago. As a party were sailir ' r in a passage boat, round one of the Applecross headlands, they discovered a shoal of c ,, d on the sand in two fathoms of water. Tito boat con tained, amongst other things, a gaff hook and a fresh herring. The latter was attached to the end of the painter ; and after having') cen lowered amongst the cod, it was gently raised to the surface. On each occasion the bait was ;followed by one of the voracious fish, which was instantly gaffed and taken into the boat.—lererness Courier. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, APRIL 25.—We con-• tinue to . experienv e a very good demand for al descrip tions of raw sugar, and a large busines., has again been done at full grices.

NEWMARKET, SUNDAY AFTERNOON.—At the closing of the Craven week we published the engagements for the en suing meeting; we now repeat them for the purpose of show ing that the promise of sport held out by the list is not likely to be delusive. To this end we have placed the usual mark (an asterisk) before the names of the horses now in the town, and in training; amongst those thus distingui s h e d, and the proportion is unusually large, will be found Worth less and Winchilsea, and Lord Glasgow's three fillies, which arrived last night. It is said that Old England and Win chester will be here towards the middle of the week ; Wather bit, we hear, is not coming. The Goodwood lot, which is expected either this afternoon or to-morrow, will include Refraction, Red Deer, and Longitude. While on this sub ject, we should - state that Mr. Parry's Zanoni arrived last night, and he will be entered for one of the plates, with the object of bringing the question of pedigree within the juris diction of the Jockey Club, and thereby deciding the objec tion made to his nomination for the Chester Cup. The grand feature of the week will be the 2,000 Guineas Stakes on Tuesday, for which Idas, Worthless, Winchilsea, Wood Pigeon, hedger, and one or two others are likely to start. Ihe list, however, irrespective of this event—and its importance to those interested in the Derby cannot be over rated—is intrinsically good. On the first day there are eight races made, of these all but the match between Cockamaroo and the Amulet colt are expected to come off; and with the addition of the plate, and one or two of the stakes that close this evening, will realize sport enough for any reason able appetite. The subsequent engagements include a very open 1,000 guineas stakes, and several matches and handicaps, &c., of considerable interest; Friday, as usual, although it boasts of the Newmarket Stakes, is the weakest day in the list. The subjoined is an outline of the bill of fare for the week : Horses marked thus * are now at Newmarket. MONDAY.

Spring with its effects on the complexion and e)n stitution generally.—The system of every person is more or less affected at this period of the yeer, but t obviate these seeming natural accompaniments to a climate like our own, has been a subject for study hitherto unfathomed by even our most eminent physi cians and practitioners. An article has, however, been recently imported into this country from Caine, and is fast gaining celebrity, which proves to be a never-fail ing obviate to cutaneous tifflictions generally. The substance is a e bite powder prepared from herbs only. of a most harmless nattne, and is celled by the Chinese " Meen Fun" or Celestial Skin Powder. Those who have not yet experieneeil the comfort of .its application should do so without delay, In addition to the ahoy. inestimable qualities, it will be found to render the skin delicately white, smooth. at d soft.

Mark-lane, London, without whose signatures on the label none are gentiin , THE; NEW isrOVEL OF " SELF," by the author of Cecil," will certainly add to the reputation of its ano nytneus author, and in a manner rather um xpected. For wit and sprightliness we were prepared by the re collection of " Cecil," hut in the new work pathos is combined ssith varying iiitt rest and criginality of charac ter. In short," Self" is valuable as a pastime—valuable "its a lesson. A moral purpose which was deficient in Cecil" has been worked out in the new story, which .contains the most life-like pictures of aristocratic life as connected with the political history of the day. ft may be placed in the same rank with the novels ot Edge worth, though the reader for ne , re amtuement may pos -sibly prefer those brilliant touches and witty dialogues -which remind him of Lady Morgan or D'lsraeli. I tt 'either case, a lasting reputation may be predicted fer it, and like the novels of Edgeworth, Austen, and Ferrier, after fulfilling its-first purpose of exciting and amusing .the idlers of the season, it wiW remain one of tho: e standard works indispensable toota country-house, as a truthful and valuable picture of national manners —since .the moralitt, the scholar, and the mere reader for diver "'ion will equally find their acconr.t in its vigorous pages. • [ADVERTISEMENT.]—The Gentleman's Real Head 'of hair, or Invisible Ventilating Peruke. is so close a resemblance to nature as to defy detection ; and to enable any gentleman to see the effect, a large assort ment is always kept for inspection, any one of which, if approved of, saves the purchaser both time and trouble.

ACCIDENTS IN TUE METROPOLIS.—From statis tical information gathered by the indefatigable Se cretary to the Accident Relief Society, from the various hospitals and infirmaries, it appears that very nearly 50.000 of all descriptions occur annually, the great ma jority of which falls upon the working and industrious classes. The observations made by Lord John Man ners, M.P., at the • recent anniversary festival of the so ciety, have already been appreciated, and seseral new Subscribers have come forward in aid of the institution, the funds of which are in a very depressed condition, owing to the very great number of claimants for relief from all parts of the metropolis and the suburbs.
