THE MURDER OF INSPECTOR BRADSTOCK, John Joseph Smith was placed.in the dock, in dicted for the wilful murder of Daniel Bradstock. When the prisoner was called upon to plead he gave unmistakeable evidence of a disordered state of mind, and the surgeon of the gaol said he was clearly of opinion that the prisoner was labouring under insanity, and therefore quite unable to under stand the importance of the questions put to him. The learned judge then directed the prisoner to be removed and detained until her Majesty's plea sure was known. The prisoner said he bad been and was constantly being followed about by persons whose deliberate intention was to murder him. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Pigott.) THE CASE OF THOMAS EDGELF,Y. An application was made this morning by M r . Sleigh, on the part of the defendant, for a further postponement, on the ground of continued illness o f a material witness. Mr. Giffard opposed the application, on the ground that there had been so many postponements that he despaired of the trial ever coining off. The learned Judge directed that certain affidavits be furnished before ho decided to grant the appli cation. CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER. Isabella Davidson was indicted for the wilful murder of her infant child. The prisoner was a laundress, and it appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had for some time paid a Mrs. Stokes 3s. Gd. a week for the sup port of the child, but that an increased demand bad been made upon her, when, on the night of the 20th of May, the prisoner went to the residence of Mrs. Stokes, in Sladesdale-street, Chelsea, and took away the child, which was found dead the follow ing morning in the garden of a house in the Ful ham-road. When the prisoner was taken into custody she exclaimed, " Shall I be hung; shall I be hung !" The medical evidence was to the effect that death bad been occasioned by suffocation, but it was not impossible that it might not have been caused acci dentally, although in the present case the ligatures which had been found tied round the child's neck and head were quite sufficient to cause death. The jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press. 211A1?KETS-7 1118 DAY. CORN.

He was foaled in 1842, and was con sequently rising 27 years old. The late Mr. Gully bred him from Sheet Anchor and Miss Letty, who was by Priam out of an Orville mare. He was a beautifal brown horse, which colour he generally transmitted to his stock, and his yearlings came early to maturity; in fact, they were too much set as youngsters. He was not placed in the Derby in 1845 (Merry Monarch's year), when Mr. Gully also had Old England engaged. His performances call for no special remark, and for a long time he was neglected at the stud until Mr. Blenkiron bought him, and did very well with his stock at the Middle Park yearling sales. The most renowned of his progeny was Beadsman (the sire of Blue. Gown, B.osicrucian, Green Sleeve, &c.), with whom Sir Joseph Hawley won the Derby in 1858 ; but be sides him ho got Weatherbound, Neptunus, Brown Bread, Prince Arthur, and Mandrake. Although Weatherbit had beautiful thighs and quarters, he was rather light in the girth, and his stock, with the above exceptions, were mo derate. Until lately he had been located at Easby Abbey, and it is supposed that he never fully recovered from the journey from Yorkshire to Waltham Cross. Mr. Blenk iron put some of his best mares to him, and we believe the last of his stock will be sold at the ensuing sales at Middle Park. THE INVENTOR OF ENVELOPES.— About forty years ago there lived at Brighton a bockseller and sta tioner of the name of S. K. Brewer, and ho used to place in his shop-window piles of paper, beginning at the largest up to the then smallest size, 16mo ; but to finish off the pile he cut cards so as to bring them up to a point. Ladies used to go in and ask for that "dear little paper," which in duced him to cut paper in small sizes. Then came the difficulty of the place for address; awl the result was he invented the envelope, and had metal plates made for cut ting them to shape and sizes. This just pleased the ladies , and orders came to him for the little paper and envelopes from all parts. This at length became such a demand upon his time, that he got Dobbs and Co., of London, to make them for him. Such was, the beginning of the envelope trade.—Stationer.

This Royal meeting commenced under the most favour able auspices, and the results of the racing will long be memorable for the easy defeat of the flying Achievement and the overthrow of Julius, who was thought the best horse of his year. As usual the Stand was graced by the presence of Royalty, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Crown Prince of Danmark, the Prince and Princess Teck, Prince and Princess Christian, the Duke of Cam bridge, and their respective suites arriving on the course from Titness Castle shortly after one o'clock, escorted by Lord Colville, Master of the Buckhounds, and a numerous retinue of outriders. The Royal party was greeted with much cheering on driving up the course tc the Stand. The weather was as favourable as could be desired ; but the course would have boon greatly benefited by rain, as in most places the going was very hard, more especi illy on the far side. In the straight, however, the water cart had been freely used, and hence it was iu better order. The eight events on the programme commenced with the Trial Stakes, for which there were only four absentees from the full list of 1.7 subscribers, end a good. race resulted in the firet of a list of turns-up for the fielders, as the winner was not even mentioned in the ring. The filly, however, did not change hands, the entered selling price, ..£6OO, appear ing too high to tempt a purchaser. No fewer than 26 went to the post for the Maiden Plate, Sir Joseph Hawley's Vagabond being freely supported ; but the colt never showed prominently iu the race, which was won on the post by a head by Vestminster, backed by all the knowing ones. Suffolk, Speculum, and Tynedale were the abseil tees for the Gold Vase, which was a beautiful work of art, consisting of a large salver, with an alto-relieve design iu ' the centre, the subject being selected from Sir Walter Scott's "Marmion." The prophets almost to a man had gone for Julius, considering that he held the rest perfectly safe; but, as will be seen from the appended report, he was beaten from end to end by Blinkhoolie, and only secured second position on the post. Although Mr. Chap lin's horse seemed to win remarkably easy, on his re urn to the saddling enclosure it was seen that he bore marks of punishment. There was a great falling off in the num ber of starters for the Prince of Wales's Stakes, as only eight of the sixty-one on'the card faced the starter. The race was a most interesting and exciting affair, as the second horse in the Darby met the Oaks winner in For mosa, and the Two Thousand dead-heater in Moslem. Baron Rothschild declared to win with King Alfred. After the Queen's Stand Plato, won by X, who pre the favourite 3st and a beating, and the Eleventh Biennial, which needs no special comment, the Ascot Stakes pro duced 15 runners out of the score coloured. Lord Palmer ston made the running for two miles, and was then beaten, and, what was rumoured a really good thing, the Maid of Masham mare, won a good race. Immediately after this race the Royal party left the course, and no little interest was excited by the last race of the day, for which Achieve ment and Taraban were joined by Mandrake. The famous mare suffered defeat by the Liverpool Cup hero, as she died away when, to all appearances, she was winning easily. Taraban had no chance. Appended is a return of the running : The Trial Stakes of 5 soya each, with 100 added ; two year olds Est 11b, three Bst 71b, four 9st 91b, five and upwards lOst ; mares and geldings allowed 31b ; the winner to be sold for 600 sous ; if for 200 allowed 51b, unless exemption from being sold is claimed at the time of entrance, and horses for which this claim is made 91b extra.

The latter, in the centre of the course made the running, followed by The Palmer on the right and Vespasian and Emerald on the left for about a quarter of a mile, when Emerald, on the extreme left of her horses, assumed a clear lead of The Palmer, who had on his right Ursula and Lym ington, Charnwood and Secrecy being the most prominent of the others, who were whipped in by Vivier until reach ing the half distance. Here the leading division was joined by the Irish Queen filly; but before reaching the corn mencement of the Stand enclosure, Vespasian and The Palmer joined issue with Emerald, and the trio appeared to have the race to themselves. On ascending the hill, however, The Palmer gave Way, an example which was followed by Vespasian—the weight telling upon both the old ones; Cannon then called upon the Irish Queen filly, who came on and won cleverly by a neck, a length and a half separating second and third. The Palmer was fourth, a long way off was Esher fifth, Ursula sixth, Black Dia mond seventh, Lymington eighth, Goodwood and Birds eye followed, and Vivier was last throughout.

Approaching the site of the lime kilns Formosa took up the running, at the same time in:l-roving the pace, and the most noticeable change that occurred in the positions of the others was the advance ment into second place of Morteiner, Lady Elizabeth dropping into the company of the Baron's pair, but before reaching the mile post she was dead beaten and retired into the rear. At the mile post Moslem fell back slightly, and half a mile from home Restitution deprived Formosa of the command, coming into the straight with a slight advan tage of Moslem on the outside, and King Alfred, who had emerged from the rear in making, the bend, on his right. Directly they got into the straight King Alfred took up the running, and having beaten Moslem at the commence ment of the Stand enclosure, won very easily by a length, three-quarters of a length dividing second and third ; Tympanum was fourth, twenty lengthy in rear of whom was Purveyor fifth, who was two lengths ahead of Formosa sixth, Mortemer being next, and Lztiy Elizabeth walked in.

On the other side, level with these, were Lord Hawthorn, The Clipper, and Nelson. In this order they ran until reaching the commencement of the Stand enclosure, when the Diomedia filly gave way, and the Vertumna colt took up the running, and stalling off the Diomedia filly, won cleverly by a length and a half ; Tenodos was three lengths in rear of the Diomedia filly ; Sister to Hermit was fourth, clear of Brambridge, Lord Hawthorn, and Alpenstock, who were together, in advance of Little Nell, The Clipper and Nelson being last.

The start was delayed a few minutes owing to the frac tiousness of Demonstration, who, directly they reached the post, bolted. Immediately on rejoining his horses a good start was effected, Guy of Warwick, in the centre of the course, cutting out the work, the leading division com prising Duet, Whitworth, the Vertumna filly, and De monstration stretching from the left, while Lais, Casse Tete, and Lord Palmerston extended from the right, the rear being brought up by Lord Glasgow's horse. In this order they ran till reaching the Stand, when Guy of Warwick gave way to Lord Palmerston, who, on passing the Stand enclosure, assumed a clear lead of Casse Tete and Duet, Lais heading the remainder, who came on in a body, the last lot being Wild Briar, the Vertumna filly, Stratagem, and the Strafford's dam horse. After rounding the hotel turn Lord Pahnerston increased his advantage, and Wild Briar ran through her horses and took second place, Duet and Casse Tete going ou third and fourth, clear of a body of horses, which comprised Child of the Islands, the Maid of Masham mare, and Ruric. Stra ta,,em and Lord Glasgow's horse were still in the rear, bui before reaching the S winley Mile Bottom they were joined by Whitworth, who, on nearing the milepost, was hope lessly beaten, and fully a hundred yards in rear of every thing else. In the Swiuley Mile Bottom Wild Briar ran up to the head of Lord Palmerston, and the pair, disputing the lead with each other, were at least two lengths it. advance of Casse Tete and Duet, the field at this point being widely scattered. Before reaching the old mile-post the Maid of Masham mare took a more improved position, and immediately after passing the point indicated Wild Briar obtained a slight advantage of Lord Palmerston, the pair now being succeeded by Ruric and Maid of Masham mare, Hippia and Child of the Islands, who followed at clear intervals, only half of the remainder being left i❑ the race with any chance of success. Before reaching the straight Lord Palmerston again obtained an advantage of the Maid of Masham mare and entered the run for home with a slight lead. On rounding the bend Wild Briar gave way, an example which was followed immediately afterwards by Lord Palmerston, and the Maid of Masham mare was left with the lead, which she gradually increased, and won in a canter by three lengths, Ruric finishing two lengths in front of Lord Palmerston ; Child of the Islands was fourth, Hippia fifth, Wild Briar Sixth, the Vertumna filly seventh, Stratagem eighth, Demonstration ninth ; Lord Glasgow's horse, Casse Tete, and Duet, in a cluster : came next, separated by long intervals, the last of all being - Whitworth, who finished fully 200 yards in the rear of ()net.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Tho Cork and Macroon (Direct) Railway Bill (Lords), and the Rathkeale and Newcastle Junction Railway Bill (Lords), were read a second time. THE REVENUE OFFICERS DISABILITIES RE, DIOVAL BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. MONK (who presented several petitions from re. venue officers in different parts of the United Kingdom) first commented on the appearance of the Ministerial and front Opposition benches, which were at that time empty. The hon. member was about to address the house when the Opposition requested him to " move." He immediately moved that the bill be read a second time. This having been seconded, the motion was put from the chair, and was carried withuut a division amid con siderable cheering from the members on the Opposition side. THE MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY BILL. On tho motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. H. C. LOPES said he believed no measure had been brought into the house in so plausible a manner as had this bill by the hon. and learned member for Reading. He thought the bill was of a very revolutionary character, and would throw discord and distrust between husbands and wives where harmony and concord now exist. Tho hon. and learned member for Reading had said that, a bill similar to this had been in use in the United States, but he denied that there was a similarity between the cases of the two countries. Ho denied that there was any analogy between the law of settlement and the giving of unconditional control over the property by the woman immediately she married. He traced the liability of the husband under the existing law, and ho contended there was nothing either unjust or unfair iu it. The law had worked satisfactorily for very many years, and he appealed to the heads of families if there was necessity for the introduction of such a bill as this. He instanced the effect it would have on the upper and lower or industrial classes. Among the upper classes it would have no effect whatever, because a settlement would still be made. Suppcising, for instance, a woman is ex travagant, and her husband is deeply attached to her, the woman runs into debt, and according to this bill she is liable to bo sued, and in case her husband does not pay the debt, she is liable to be sent to prison. Would a man, so deeply attached to his wife, allow his wife to be sent to prison? Most decidedly not. He referred to the cases of Mrs. Lyon and Mrs. Borradaile ; he said in any similar cases in future great dissension would exist among the relations of such people. Referring to the industrial classes he said very frequently the women were married without having anything in the world, and when they had to incur the expenses for the u..ie of the household, did the hon. and learned member intend that the wife should be taken into custody? He concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time time that day six months. Mr. E. K. KA.RSLAKE opposed the bill for the same reasons as had been advanced by the hon. member (Mr. Lopes.) He criticised the various clauses of the bill, and showed that there was not the slightest necessity for some of them, and the others were quite inconsistent with the professed objects of the bill. Mr. HEADLA M supported the bill. Mr. 0 L DNEY admitted the law ought to be remedied, but he could not imagine there was the slightest necessity for carrying the law to such an extreme as was contem plated by this bill. The grave thing he contended was that it would establish an interest in the household entirely so•arate from that of the husband. Mr. POLLARD-URQUIIART instanced examples where husbands had laid their hands on the property of their wives, and had gone to the Continent and there squandered it, and he thought such a law demanded some alteration. After some further discussion the house divided, when lere appeared— Ayes 123 Noes The SPEAKER then gave his casting vote with the ayes. Mr. LEFEVRE then moved that the bill be referred to a select committee, which was agreed to. BURIALS (IRELAND) BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, the object of which was to enable Roman Catholics to be buried in any parochial burial grounds on due notice being given. A division took place upon the main proposal of the measure on the first clause, which was carried by 122 to 91. Another point that gave rise to some discussion was the giving notice to the police when a funeral opposed to the tenets of the Protestant religion was proposed to take place in the burial ground belonging to that Church. It was contended that no danger need be entertained as to collisions taking place when two funerals of different religions took place in the same ground at the same hour, the result of which was that amendments was not persisted in. Sir H. BRUCE then took a general objection to the bill on the ground that it allowed a Hindoo, or the followers of any peculiar creed, to perform certain rites in the burial ground of a Protestant church. The hon. mem ber was addressing the house at a quarter to six at which hour the debate ceased in accordance with the standing orders. The Voters in Disfranchised Boroughs Bill passed through committee. The amendments on the Established Church (Ireland) Bill were ordered to be taken into consideration on Friday next. The other orders of the day were then disposed of and the house adjourned. THE BLUSH OF A CUTTLE FISH.--Under the influence of strong emotion the human face turns Pa l e , or blushes ; in somo individuals it even becomes blue. The cuttle fish does this, and more. Yielding to the impressions of the moment, it suddenly changes colour, passing through a variety of tints, and only resum i❑g its familiar hue when the cause of the change has disappeared. It is, in fact, gifted with great sensibility, which reacts immediately on its elastic tissues in a most extraordinary and unlooked-for way. Under the in fluenco•of passion man is born to blush ; but under no sort of excitement does he cover himself with pustules. The cuttln-fish not . only changes colour, but throws out an eruption of littlo warts. "Observe," says D'Ozbigny, " a poulpe in a pool of water. As it walks round its retreat, it is smooth and very pale. Attempt to seize it, it quickl assumes a deeper tint, and its body becomes covered the instant with warts and hairs, which remain there un its confidence is entirely restored.—Diokeas'd "Ali th - Year licrtuid." 334 & 8 1291 52i 20, ; 1101 i 1031 I 731 i
